This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Celtic since its foundation in 1887. Each manager’s entry includes the dates of tenure and the club’s overall competitive record in terms of matches won, drawn and lost, and of major honours won. Caretaker managers are also included.
As of the start of the 2021–22 season, Celtic have had 19 different full-time managers. Willie Maley, the club’s first manager, is the longest to have served in the post, having managed the club from 1897 to 1940. The 30 major honours Maley won during his tenure are the most a manager has achieved at Celtic. Jock Stein is considered the club’s greatest manager, having revived the team after many years in the doldrums.[3][4] He managed Celtic to nine consecutive league titles and led them to their European Cup Final triumph over Inter Milan in 1967.
