Manchester United occupy third place with 58 points from 33 games, largely thanks to a strong run under interim boss Michael Carrick.
However, when ranking every manager who has taken charge of at least one Premier League match this season by points per game, the order tells a more nuanced story of consistency, short-term impact, and mid-season chaos.
According to Planet Football on Monday, here is the complete ranked list as of April
Michael Carrick (Manchester United – interim) – 2.17 PPG
Since taking over from Ruben Amorim in January, Carrick has delivered a remarkable turnaround, helping United secure Champions League qualification with games to spare.
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) – 2.14 PPG
The Gunners sit top of the league, and Arteta’s near-full-season consistency keeps him just ahead in the PPG race.
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) – 2.12 PPG
City remain Arsenal’s closest challengers. The tiny gap is due to Arsenal having played (and won) one extra match.
Arne Slot (Liverpool) – 1.70 PPG
Unai Emery (Aston Villa) – 1.70 PPG
Enzo Maresca (Chelsea – until January sacking) – 1.58 PPG
Ruben Amorim (Manchester United – until January’s sacking) – 1.55 PPG
Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton) – 1.47 PPG
Keith Andrews (caretaker / Brentford) – 1.45 PPG
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) – 1.44 PPG
Marco Silva (Fulham) – 1.41 PPG
