Quiz: Name Every Man City PL Manager (Only 1% Get 100%)
Can You Name Every Manchester City Premier League Manager?
The Ultimate Manager Memory Test
Hey there, football fan! Have you ever wondered how many different bosses have stood on the touchline for Manchester City in the Premier League? Well, get ready for a fun challenge that’s perfect for testing your football knowledge!
The Big Number: 14 Managers
Here’s the crazy part: Manchester City have had 14 different managers take charge of Premier League matches since the league started in 1992. That includes permanent bosses and caretaker managers (those temporary fill-ins when a manager leaves suddenly).
IMPORTANT POINT
14 managers in 30+ years! That averages to a new manager roughly every 2-3 years. Some clubs have had way more (looking at you, Chelsea!), but 14 is still a lot of different faces in the dugout.
The Quiz Challenge
Planet Football created a super fun quiz where you get 15 minutes to name all 14 managers. Here’s how it works:
How to Play:
- Start the timer – You get 15 minutes total
- See the years – Each manager shows the year(s) they were in charge
- Type the names – Enter each manager’s name as you remember them
- Get your score – See how many out of 14 you nailed!
The Clue System:
- Years provided – Your only hint is when each manager worked
- Single years or ranges – Some managed for one season, others for years
- Caretakers included – Don’t forget the temporary bosses!
The Score to Beat
The Planet Football office team took the challenge, and the record to beat is 11 out of 14.
PRO TIP
11/14 is the target! Can you match or beat the experts? Most people forget at least 2-3 names, especially the short-term caretakers.
Why This Quiz is Actually Tricky
You might think "Easy! Pep Guardiola, Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini…" but wait!
The tricky parts:
- Early Premier League years (1992-2008) had lots of manager changes
- Caretaker managers often only lasted a few games
- Some names are easy to forget if you didn’t follow City back then

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this include managers from before the Premier League started?
A: Nope! Only managers who took charge of Premier League matches (since 1992). The old First Division managers don’t count for this quiz.
Q: Are caretaker managers really counted?
A: Yes! The content specifically says "including caretakers" – so anyone who managed even one Premier League game as interim boss counts toward the 14.
Q: What if I only know the famous managers like Pep and Mancini?
A: That’s totally normal! Most fans know 5-7 names easily. The fun is learning the ones you missed – especially the short-term caretakers from the early years.
Q: Can I pause the 15-minute timer?
A: The quiz runs on a continuous 15-minute countdown, so make sure you’re ready before starting! Grab a drink, get comfortable, then hit begin.
