Premier League managers have won far more trophies than their counterparts in Europe's other top divisions, according to a Sky Sports study.
The upcoming 2016/17 season is set to be one of the most fascinating and unpredictable yet - thanks in part to the hugely successful managers now in charge of some of England's leading clubs.
For instance, new Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho and his rival, Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, boast a remarkable 18 major honours each, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has collected 12 trophies during his career.
In total, the 19 men currently in charge of Premier League clubs - while the permanent Hull City job is vacant - have won 66 trophies.
In comparison, managers in La Liga - home to the second-most decorated group of managers in Europe's top five leagues - have 38 major honours between them.
Bosses in the Bundesliga (19 trophies - 14 belonging to Bayern Munich's Carlo Ancelotti), Serie A (17) and France's Ligue 1 (12) have fewer honours combined than managers in England, although it is worth noting there are only 18 clubs and managers in Germany's top flight.
In the Premier League, 10 managers have won a major trophy which is the highest spread of successful managers across the five leagues.
Nine La Liga managers have been victorious in a major competition and seven Ligue 1 coaches have won at least one trophy. However, just four managers in the Bundesliga and four in Serie A have tasted success.
Behind Guardiola and Mourinho, Bayern's Ancelotti is the second-most successful boss (14), followed by Wenger (12) - the only other manager in double figures.
