Which manager won the Premier League in his first season? Elite Club Arnslot is about to join with Liverpool

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will be joining an elite group in Premier League history.

This is an exclusive list that excludes icons of business owners such as Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Arsène Wenger, and everyone took multiple seasons to win the first British crown.

However, the Dutch, who joined from PSV Eindhoven to replace Klopp last summer, became instant heroes at Anfield.

101 Greatgoals.com looks at four managers who were able to lift the trophy on their first attempt.

Jose Mourinho 2004-05 (Chelsea)

After taking on the Chelsea team, second only to Arsenal’s “Invincible,” Jose Mourinho quickly turned them into dominant force.

Supported by players like John Terry, Claude Makerele, new signatures such as Petr Czech and Ricardo Carvalho, Chelsea have become almost inexplicable under “something special.”

Their season ended with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United, finishing with the then-recorded 95 points, conceded just 15 goals and maintained a clean sheet of 25.

Carlo Ancelotti-2009-10 (Chelsea)

Chelsea had lost defensive steel after Mourinho’s exit, but they rediscovered their shape under Carlo Ancelotti – this time only with offensive talent.

Italy oversaw a record season in which Chelsea scored 103 goals and scored a goal difference of +71, the best in the Premier League at the time.

The campaign ended with a domestic double, but Ancelotti left the following year after not adding any silver products.

Manuel Peregrine 2013-14 (Manchester City)

Following Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini took advantage of Manchester United’s post-Fergson turbulence to lead Manchester City to the summit again.

The title race went down on the wire as Liverpool was thrust into the wild, inspired by Louis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

But urban consistency – and unforgettable moments like Yaya Toure’s midfield heroic and Sergio Aguero’s deadly finish, we saw them framed the red with two points.

Despite his long administrative career across Europe, this remains the only domestic league title for Pellegrini on the continent.

Antonio Conte-2016-17 (Chelsea)

When Antonio Conte arrived, Chelsea endured a chaotic season under Mourinho in their second stint, finishing midtable and European competitions.

Interim Manager Guus Hiddink had stabilized the ship, but Conte had a clean slate to cooperate.

With fewer equipment to juggle, Italian tacticians have made the most of their time on the training ground and have improved their dynamic 3-4-2-1 system. Chelsea won an astounding 13 games mid-season, effectively locking the title before Spring arrived.

Conte has now found himself in a comparable scenario in Naples and is about to revive a club he recently lost after his previous success.
