User:Timbouctou/List of LFP managers

< User:Timbouctou

There are 38 association football teams in the top two divisions of French football, all of which have a manager (sometimes given the title of head coach) unless the position is currently vacant or a caretaker manager is in place. The Ligue 1 and the Ligue 2 are the only fully professional football leagues in France, and are overseen by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) association.

Ligue 1 is the top tier, and consists of 18 clubs at the top of the French football league system, and another 20 clubs play in Ligue 2.

A 2020 study by broadcaster Sky Sports showed the average reign for departing managers in the 2019–20 season was an all-time low of 423 days.[1] Simon Weaver is currently the longest-serving manager in the top four divisions,[2] having managed Harrogate Town since May 2009, though eleven of those years were outside the EFL.[N 1] Following Jürgen Klopp's exit from Liverpool in May 2024, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City is the longest-serving current manager in the Premier League and the second-longest serving in the top four divisions after Weaver.[3]

This list includes every manager currently managing a club in the Premier League and the EFL[4][5] in order of the date that they were appointed. Some managers may have had more than one spell in charge at their current club.
