Herbert Chapman: Huddersfield Town may have been relegated from the Premier League in record time, but looking back almost a 100 years ago they were a powerhouse in English football. Led by Herbert Chapman they won the league in 1924 and then retained it in 1925. Getty Images

Pep Guardiola: Guardiola guided Manchester City to back-to-back Premier League titles following Sunday's win over Brighton. City became the first team to defend the Premier League trophy since Manchester United in 2009. Getty Images

Alex Ferguson: The challenge for Pep Guardiola now is to match former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who won back-to-back Premier League titles on four occasions. Indeed twice, between 1999 and 2001, and then 2007 to 2009, the Scot guided United to three titles in a row. The other repeats came in 1993 and 1994 and then 1996 and 1997. Getty Images

Jose Mourinho: The self-anointed 'Special One' made an immediate impact at Chelsea by guiding them to a Premier League title in his first season in charge in 2005. The Portuguese then held off a stern challenge from Manchester United to repeat the feat 12 months later. Getty Images

Bob Paisley: Paisley is well remembered for guiding Liverpool to three European Cups during his nine-year tenure in charge at Anfield. But he was also a dab hand at winning titles. Three times he took Liverpool to successive championships. Liverpool first repeated as Division One champions under Paisley in 1976, then again in 1980 and 1983. Getty Images

Stan Cullis: Wolverhampton Wanderers have had a great first season back in the Premier League, finishing seventh. But that does not compare to the Cullis era in the 1950s when he took the Midlands club to three championships during the decade. The second of them, in 1958, was followed up by a successful defence in 1959. Getty Images

Matt Busby: Busby’s legacy at Manchester United is world renown. His first stint at Old Trafford from 1945 to 1969 included five Division One championships and a European Cup. Before Ferguson he had been the only United manager to have won successive English titles, guiding United to top spot in 1956 and again the following season. Getty Images
