Sir Alex Ferguson He is still the only Manager with more than 40 years of experience. Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has 14 more trophies than the next manager on the list. Mircea Lucescu, manager of Dynamo Kyiv, is ranked second on the list and has 35 titles to his name. Apart from Lucescu and Ferguson, the other two managers with more than 30 titles are Pep Guardiola (32 titles) and Valeriy Lobanovskyi (30 titles).
However, Manchester City is currently competing for three titles this season, and if they win two of them, Pep Guardiola will have come close to matching Lucescu's totals. Some of the top ten managers are currently not in charge of top clubs in Europe's top five leagues. Jose Mourinho, the current manager of Roma, is ranked eighth on the list with 26 trophies, while Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, is ranked tenth with 23 trophies.
Other managers in the top ten include Jock Stein (26 titles), Giovanni Trapattoni (23 titles), Luiz Felipe Scolari (26 titles), and Ottmar Hitzfeld (28 titles). However, there are some managers on the list who could add to their total before the end of the season. Ancelotti's sights are set on La Liga and the Champions League, while Guardiola's are set on the Premier League and the European Cup.

Man Utd complete second striker signing with deal agreed for Chelsea target, but key rule prevents immediate arrival
Erik ten Hag, Man Utd coach
Manchester United signed a second striker in the January transfer window after agreeing a deal with Cardiff City for a Welsh player.
Man Utd let Cristiano Ronaldo leave in November by terminating his contract, forcing them to find a replacement for the winter. Erik ten Hag was available when Wout Weghorst was loaned to Burnley on January 13.
The Dutchman has then scored one goal in four appearances for Man Utd so far. He has only been on loan at Old Trafford but has expressed a desire to join the Red Devils permanently if his provisional term goes well. Man Utd are still looking for a world-class striker to lead their attack ahead of next season and they could spend more than £100m on a Serie A goalscorer.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag's side have agreed a much cheaper deal for Cardiff centre-back Gabriele Biancheri.
According to the Daily Mail, Man Utd is about to announce that the 16-year-old has signed a university contract. It comes after completing a medical in Manchester over the weekend.
However, Cardiff will benefit from Biacheri's presence in their ranks until September. Due to his age, the young striker will not be able to join Man Utd until he turns 17 at the end of this year.
Man Utd landed the Wales Under-17 international after Chelsea considered signing him last summer. The Blues eventually gave up on bringing him in, but they may now regret the decision.
Man Utd will sign a fine teenager
He has been in superb form this season, scoring 17 goals and 5 assists so far. The Biacheri have great potential and will probably make it into the Man Utd squad in a few years. The Manchester giant's acquisition of Biancheri shows that Ten Hag is not only focused on immediate success - he also wants the future of the club to be bright.
The Dutchman has taken on the task of leading Man Utd's Under-21 team to try to facilitate the transition from youth football to professional football.
Furthermore, he trusts young players like Alejandro Garnacho, Facundo Pellistri and Kobbie Mainoo this season. Biacheri will be aware of this and hope to impress Ten Hag in the future so that he has a chance in the first team.
The report did not reveal how much Man Utd spent on Biancheri. However, they will probably have to send compensation to Cardiff after the Bluebirds have spent so much time developing him.
