▶ Ranking the 4 PSG managers in the last decade
Carlo Ancelotti joined Paris Saint-Germain in the second half of the 2011-12 season. He signed top players such as David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, and Marco Verratti in the summer transfer window and won the club its first league title in 19 years.
Carlo Ancelotti coached 77 games at Paris Saint-Germain, finishing with a 64% win rate (W49, D19, L9) and 153 goals.
In June 2013, the French legend Laurent Blanc was appointed manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
Like Emery, although he failed to lead Paris Saint-Germain to glory in Europe he achieved success in the domestic scene, but he won three Ligue 1 titles (2014, 2015, 2016), two Coupe de France (2015, 2016), three Coupe de la Ligue (2014, 2015, 2016) and three Trophee des champions (2013, 2014, 2015). Blank also has the highest winning percentage of any coach during the QSI era. He coached a 73% win rate in 173 matches (W126, D31, L16).
Blanc was unable to replicate the club’s domestic dominance in Europe, leading to his dismissal in June 2016.
In the summer of 2018, Thomas Tuchel signed a two-year contract with PSG. He won back-to-back league titles, the Coupe de France and the Ligue 1 Cup in his first two seasons at Parc des Princes. In May 2019, he received a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2021.
However, four months after he led the club to its first Champions League final (2019-20 season), Tuchel had a dispute with the club’s hierarchy over transfers, leading to his dismissal.
In the end, Tuchel left Paris Saint-Germain with a record of 95 wins, 13 draws, and 19 losses in 127 matches.
