Mirko Slomka is the longest-serving: 169 matches over 3 years (Jan 2010 – Dec 2013). Ralf Rangnick added the most coach rating: +25.8 over 57 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.
