England Championship. Jurgen Klopp (Germany) = 6 years and 6 months at Liverpool
From now on, Jurgen Klopp and Josep Guardiola are not only the two most successful coaches of the English Premier League in recent years, but also the two most “long-playing” ones: Klopp has been in charge of Liverpool for 6.5 years, Guardiola has been working with City for 5 years and 9 months. In general, the top 4 long-livers of the Premier League are entirely foreigners: the German Klopp, the Spaniard Guardiola, the Dane Frank and the Austrian Hasenhüttl. The best of the English is Graham Potter, who will celebrate three years at the helm of Brighton this summer.
Spanish Championship. Diego Simeone (Argentina) = 10 years and 4 months at Atlético Madrid
In December, Simeone celebrated his tenth anniversary as head coach of Atlético Madrid, and in early 2022 there were rumors of Diego’s impending dismissal due to unsatisfactory results. El Cholo managed to get the situation under control, return to the victories in the Example, beat Man United in the Champions League and take the fight to Man City. Simeone is one of two coaches in the top five European leagues with more than 10 years of continuous service.
German Championship. Christian Streich (Germany) = 10 years and 4 months at Freiburg
The second coach, winding the second ten, is Christian Streich, who headed Freiburg a week later than Simeone came to Atlético. The best result under Streich is fifth place in the Bundesliga, and this season there is a chance to repeat or even improve this achievement. Freiburg is just fifth and does not lose chances of getting into the Champions League zone: the gap from RB Leipzig is 3 points.
French Championship. Pascal Gastien (France) – 4 years and 8 months at Clermont
Clermont has a black streak – five consecutive defeats in Ligue 1, including a crushing 1-6 against PSG. The relegation zone is getting closer, but Pascal Gastien, apparently, will retain his authority even if he is relegated to Ligue 2, from where he raised the team himself.
