Sports Mole takes a look at the top 20 managers who have taken charge of the most Premier League games in history since the 1992-93 season.

Pep Guardiola, widely regarded as one of the greatest-ever Premier League managers, has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract extension at Manchester City.

The 53-year-old's new deal will take his legendary stay at the Etihad Stadium to over a decade, having joined the club in the summer of 2016.

Guardiola is one of a select few managers who has been fortunate enough to get their hands on the Premier League trophy - six times to be exact - while other established names have enjoyed experiences with several clubs lower down in the English top flight.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the top 20 managers who have taken charge of the most Premier League games in history since the 1992-93 season.
