Under the stewardship of the Srivaddhanaprabha family (since 2010), Leicester City transitioned from Championship hopefuls to Premier League icons. Using data from trusted outlet Transfermarkt, here is how incumbent Martí Cifuentes compares to every other King Power manager. They are ranked by win percentage, regardless of division, in a clinical examination of the LCFC hotseat.
The vanguard
Enzo Maresca (67.92%)
The Italian’s single season remains the era’s statistical marvel; Claudio Ranieri's stats were impacted by his uneven second campaign. Across 53 matches, Maresca orchestrated 36 wins, four draws and 13 losses. His occasionaly frustrating 'Maresca-ball' philosophy was almost exemplary; seeing the Foxes slot home 103 goals while conceding just 50.
Claudio Ranieri (44.44%)
The author of the greatest story ever told: The 2016 PL triumph. Over 81 games, the Tinkerman achieved 36 wins, 22 draws and 23 losses. While Ranieri's win rate sits in the mid-tier, his team’s 121 goals include some of the most precious in the East Midlands club's history.
Nigel Pearson (46.70%)
The granite-hewn architect of the club’s modern rise. In his definitive second spell (182 games), Pearson secured 85 wins, 38 draws and 59 losses. His side was characterized by a thunderous offensive output, netting 280 goals against 219 conceded (his initial spell in 2008-10 garnered a 51.4% rate).
The silver age
Brendan Rodgers (46.57%)
The longest-serving manager of the era, Rodgers presided over 204 matches. He claimed 95 wins, 39 draws and 70 losses. His tenure was a high-scoring odyssey too, yielding a high of 352 goals for this list; countered by 286 conceded.
Craig Shakespeare (46.15%)
The late Shakespeare steadied the ship after the unthinkable. In 26 games, "Shakey" earned 12 wins, six draws and eight losses. His short but sweet reign saw 46 goals scored and 37 conceded.
The Current Stewardship
Martí Cifuentes (36.67%)
The incumbent Catalonian finds his record poised on a knife-edge. In 30 matches, he is attributed with 11 wins, nine draws and 10 losses. In a display of curious near symmetry: his side has scored 41 and let in 43, leaving him at the lower end of the crossroads of the era's coaching elite. If City had the ability to spend money - he'd be gone!
The relegation guard and others
Claude Puel (37.31%): 25 wins, 14 draws, 28 losses from 67 games (105 GF/104 GA).
The late Sven-Göran Eriksson (43.64%): 24 wins, 14 draws, 17 losses from 55 games (87 GF/71 GA).
Paulo Sousa (33.33%): Four wins, two draws, six losses from 12 games (15 GF/22 GA).
Dean Smith (25.00%): Two wins, three draws, three losses from eight games (12 GF/13 GA).
Steve Cooper (26.67%): Four wins, Four draws, seven losses in 15 games (20 GF/28 GA).
Ruud van Nistelrooy (18.52%): The nadir of this particular epoch. In 27 matches, the Dutchman suffered 18 losses, managing to win just five and draw four fixtures. A lowly 26 goals were netted, offset against 51 conceded.
