\n

Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson has listed his top three managers in Premier League history in a recent Q&A session with fans on X and has failed to include Man City boss Pep Guardiola on his list.<\/p>\n

Merson named \u2018Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, and Arsene Wenger\u2019 as his top three, citing their impressive records in the league.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, who managed Manchester United for 27 years, won an astonishing 13 Premier League titles along with numerous other trophies.<\/p>\n

Mourinho, known for his defensive style of play, led Chelsea to one of the best-ever defensive seasons in the league in 2004-05, conceding only 15 goals on their way to the title.<\/p>\n

Wenger, who managed Arsenal for 22 seasons, won three Premier League titles and secured a remarkable 1.95 points per game in 1234 games at the club.<\/p>\n

Despite Guardiola\u2019s success at Manchester City, he did not make Merson\u2019s list while the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti were also snubbed.<\/p>\n
