5 Chelsea managers with the highest win percentage in Premier League history
Chelsea are one of the most successful clubs in contemporary football. The Blues have also been a dominant force in the English Premier League, claiming the title five times between 2004 and 2016.
Chelsea are also unique when it comes to managerial records. Under Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have one of Europe's highest managerial turnover ratios. Simply put, they're quick to replace managers when the results aren't good enough.
We take a look at five Chelsea managers with the highest win percentage in Premier League history.

#5 Maurizio Sarri - 62%
Maurizio Sarri became Chelsea manager in the summer of 2018 after many successful years in Italy. Sarri's famous 'Sarri-ball' identity became a highlight of Chelsea's play and the Italian was undefeated in his first 12 fixtures.
After a superb start to the season, Chelsea, however, were 'figured out' by opposition teams. Their form soon took a nosedive. Sarri managed to win the 2019 Europa League title with the Blues before leaving at the end of the season for Juventus. With a 62 win percentage, he ranks fifth among the top five Chelsea managers with the highest win percentage in Premier League history.

The German manager's impressive tactics and defensive solidity at the back mean Chelsea are one of the best teams in Europe. With a 62.5 win percentage, Tuchel ranks fourth among the top five Chelsea managers with the highest win percentage in Premier League history.
