While a lot of football managers are often left fearing for their jobs, some are in a far more comfortable position. 

There are always a lot of managerial changes during every football season as owners hope that a new manager will transform the team’s fortunes. But some managers have plenty of credit in the bank and don’t have to worry about the sack race.

We’ve taken a look at every Premier League and English Football League manager and ranked them by how long they’ve been in charge of their club.

Note: Oxford United currently don’t have a manager after they sacked Karl Robinson in February.

Despite announcing his retirement from football management in 2022, Warnock is now back in the dugout with Huddersfield Town, who are currently bottom of the Championship.

“It’s a great challenge really,” he said after being appointed in February. “I always thought if I came back in it’d be the end of February. I only want to work 10 weeks a year, if I’m honest, and it was always going to be a club I love like Huddersfield, QPR or Cardiff.”

The 74-year-old oversaw a 2-1 win against Birmingham City in his first game in charge but has since lost 4-0 against Burnley and Coventry City.
