This is a chronological
list of Manchester City managers, comprising all those who have held the position of
manager for the first team of
Manchester City F.C.and the club's predecessors
West Gorton (St. Marks) and
Ardwick. In the
Football League era the club has appointed 34 managers; including pre-league managers and temporary caretakers more than 40 men have held responsibility for team selection.
The longest serving manager was
Wilf Wild, who was in charge from 1932 to 1946, for a total length of 14 years 9 months. However, as Wild's tenure covered the entire length of the
Second World War, in which no competitive football was played, he is not the man with the most games served as manager.
Les McDowall, who was in charge from 1950 to 1963, a period of 13 years, managed the club for the most competitive games, a total of 592 games - a full 240 games more than Wild, who recorded the second most. The most successful Manchester City manager in terms of major trophies won is
Joe Mercer, who won four trophies in six years from 1965 to 1971.
Roberto Mancini was City's most recent manager; he was sacked on 13 May 2013 after three-and-a-half years in charge.
