List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. managers
Encyclopedia
This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of Manager
of Paris Saint-Germain's first team from 1970, when the first professional manager was appointed, to the present day. Each manager's entry includes his dates of tenure and honours won while under his care. PSG have had 36 managers with 27 being full-time managers since the appointment of Pierre Phelipon
in 1970. PSG's most successful manager is Luis Fernández
with five major trophies won: one French Cup, one League Cup, one Champions Trophy
, one Cup Winners' Cup and one Intertoto Cup. He is also the club's longest-serving manager in terms of matches with 244. Luis Fernández and Georges Peyroche
are the club's longest-serving managers in terms of time, both with 5 years in charge. Antoine Kombouaré
is the current manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
became the first ever coach of Paris Saint-Germain in 1970, replacing symbolic Stade Sangermanois coach Roger Quenolle
. He alternated between coach and player to help out make a competitive team consisting of both amateur and professional players. Phelipon made the club attain top-tier status despite harsh relations between Parisians and Sangermanois, but quit in 1972. Robert Vicot
became the sole coach of the club, until President Daniel Hechter
put him alongside Just Fontaine
. The duo achieved the club's promotion to the Division 1
in 1974, promoting attacking and seductive football. Vicot, however, quit the club and Fontaine continued his tenure at the capital club until 1976, when his relationship with Hechter deteriorated and had a disastrous end, with law suits and contractual disputes in the background. Velibor Vasović arrived with the objective of qualifying the club for a European Cup. Paris Saint-Germain narrowly missed out the UEFA Cup and he quit the club rejecting a new deal to stay. Jean-Michel Larqué
ended his playing career and arrived as coach in 1977. He adopted a player-coach role due to the absence of a playmaker in the squad. PSG sat at the bottom of the table almost all the season and finished just over relegation. Pierre Alonzo
was named his substitute, but his tenure was short-lived as Francis Borelli quickly replaced him with Velibor Vasović. The results weren't good and he left at the end of the season. Georges Peyroche
joined the club in 1979 and Paris Saint-Germain tasted their first honours with consecutive French Cup
victories in 1982 and 1983. Suffering from stress, Peyroche took a sabbatical year. Lucien Leduc
succeeded him and remained on the Parisian bench until 1984, when Peyroche returned to the club at the request of Borelli. He immediately qualified the club for the UEFA Cup, but the following season was a complete disappointment and Peyroche resigned midway through the campaign. Christian Coste
replaced him as Paris Saint-Germain maintained Division 1 status and lost the French Cup Final against Monaco. Coste then became Gérard Houllier
's assistant, before leaving the club in 1987.
replaced Houllier in 1988. His tenure, however, was short lived as Francis Borelli decided to reestablish Houllier during the winter break. The latter returned only to save the club from relegation. Tomislav Ivić
was named coach and lost the league title in the last days of the season against eternal rivals Olympique de Marseille
. The rest of his tenure proved to be a huge disappointment and Ivić left the club in 1990. Henri Michel
replaced him and spent one season at the capital club. Artur Jorge began his tenure at the capital in 1991 and Paris Saint-Germain achieved European qualification, the French Cup and the Division 1. PSG, however, failed to play attractive football and Jorge, who applied a more rigid strategic system, left the club in 1994. PSG's board saw in Luis Fernández
the ideal manager to reform the image of the club. His first season in Paris was a success. Even though PSG was quickly outpaced in the Division 1 race by an irresistible Nantes side, Paris managed to win three domestic cups, the French Cup and League Cup and the Champions Trophy
, and made an impressive showing in the UEFA Champions League
concluded by elimination in the semi-finals against Milan. The strongest displays by Fernández's PSG were the quarter-finals win over Johan Cruyff
's Barcelona
. Beaten to the title once more in Division 1, Paris found the European competitions to be a breath of fresh-air and they won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup after defeating Rapid Wien
in the Final
, making Fernández the first and only French manager to win a major European trophy. This prestigious victory was not enough to keep Fernández in the hotseat and left after only his second season at Paris Saint-Germain. Former PSG players Ricardo and Joël Bats
returned to coach the capital club. They reached the Cup Winners' Cup Final
in 1997 losing to Barcelona and won the domestic Cup double in 1998.
assumed the post as Paris Saint-Germain avoided relegation and qualified for the UEFA Champions League
in the 1999-2000 season. A bad start to the 2000-01 season mixed with a crushing 5-1 defeat to Sedan
saw him being replaced with none other than Luis Fernández. Even though he was in charge of a team with stars such as Jay-Jay Okocha
, Nicolas Anelka
and especially Ronaldinho
, Fernández never got the results to satisfy the ambitions of the club. Despite support from fans with whom his popularity always remained very strong, he was fired in 2003 after being defeated by Auxerre
in the French Cup Final. Fernández, however, added the UEFA Intertoto Cup to the club's shelf. Former PSG player Vahid Halilhodžić
arrived as Paris Saint-Germain finished league runners-up, qualified for the Champions League and won the French Cup. Following a first round elimination from the Champions League and a streak of six league matches without a win, Halilhodžić was replaced by reserve team coach Laurent Fournier
. He finished the season in a bright way and extended his contract with the club for another season. Although supported by the squad, he was replaced in strange circumstances by Guy Lacombe
. President Pierre Blayau decided to fire him adducing underperformance, despite the fact that the club was third only one point behind the second. Six months after Guy Lacombe's arrival, Paris Saint-Germain won the French Cup against arch-rivals Marseille. New President Alain Cayzac
extended Lacombe's deal. During the 2006–07 campaign, the club struggled with poor results and Lacombe was sacked in the winter break.
returned to save the club from relegation. Paris were lying 17th in Ligue 1, but he led them to safety in his first season by finishing 15th. Despite promising pre-season performances the 2007-08 season became a bad nightmare. PSG continued to lose momentum in the league eventually finishing 16th, just three points above the relegation zone. PSG nonetheless won the League Cup and reached the French Cup Final, losing to Ligue 1
champions Olympique Lyonnais
. Alain Cayzac preferred to resign rather than extend Le Guen's contract, but new President Charles Villeneuve confirmed his confidence in Le Guen in May 2008. Despite a promising start to the 2008–09
season, it ended in general disappointment. Paris Saint-Germain failed to qualify for European action and finished 6th after fighting for the title throughout the season. The club was eliminated in the League Cup semi-finals and in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals. Despite a redeeming campaign for the club, Paul Le Guen had conflicts with the club's management and the club announced that he would not be offered a new contract and would leave at the end of the season. PSG then announced the signing of Antoine Kombouaré
to the capital club for the next three seasons.
