Top 5 Premier League Managers

Currently, the top five Premier League managers in the English Premier League are Jose Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, Arsen Wenger, Louis Van Gaal and Brendan Rogers.

This rank is based on the statistics listed in the Manager Index which can be found at http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/managers/index.html. The top managers are ranked according to the percent wins statistic.

Adapted from http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/managers/index.html

All of the top 5 managers are capable of bringing their teams to the English Premier League championship.  The managers and their percent wins are the following:

1.    Jose Mourinho – Manager, Chelsea FC (69%)

2.    Manuel Pellegrini – Manager, Manchester City  FC (59%)

3.    Arsen Wenger – Manager, Arsenal FC  (56%)

4.    Louis Van Gaal – Manager, Manchester United FC (52%)

5.    Brendan Rogers – Liverpool  FC (52%)

Should there be any other statistics besides English Premier League results that should be considered when listing the top managers? Should salary play a part?
