Before 2015/16 the source names the manager on fewer matches, so these rows can miss games.

Huub Stevens is the longest-serving: 175 matches over 4 years (Aug 1997 – May 2002). Ralf Rangnick added the most coach rating: +46.4 over 50 matches.

Club rating - the club's rating at the manager's first rated match → after the last. Coach rating - what the spell added to the manager's coach rating. Vs expected - average result per match above what the club rating predicted. Stand-in - a caretaker who covered a few matches during another manager's spell, folded under that spell. Every competition we hold, lower divisions included.
