Motherwell alongside Celtic and Liverpool in UK's best clubs to manage list

Motherwell rank amongst the top 15 best clubs to manage in British football, according to a recent study.

Statistics collected by OLBG place Motherwell in 11th place, just outside the top 10 by a month. Celtic rank first with Liverpool in second place as the most desirable destinations for managers.

Rangers are in fourth while the top 15 also sees fellow Scottish Premiership clubs Aberdeen and St Johnstone rank with the Steelmen.

At the other end of the spectrum, Livingston were named the most dangerous place for managers, with Hibs just behind them.

Research is based on the average length of time football managers stay in their job. Celtic’s managers last longer than anyone else’s, spending approximately 2,050 days in the job.

The study also lists Motherwell icon John Hunter as the UK's sixth-longest-serving manager, his reign lasting a mammoth 35 years, delivering the club's only league title in season 1931-32.

There is a further Motherwell mention in the managers who have reigned at the most clubs section, ex-Well boss Mark McGhee coming in at joint-fourth on eight different clubs.

Alongside him are big names like Everton boss Rafael Benitez and ex-England manager Roy Hodgson.
