List of Motherwell F.C. managers

April 14, 2024

Motherwell Football Club is an association football club from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. They were established on 10 May 1886 following a merger between Glencairn and Alpha. They play their home games at Fir Park Stadium.

This is an official list of the managers who have managed Motherwell, and the success that they have achieved, since 1911. Before that year, a committee was involved in the management of the club. The Club's first ever manager was John 'Sailor' Hunter, who would go on to become the club's longest-serving manager. It was during his tenure that Motherwell won their first, and to date, only Premier League title, in the 1931-32 season. This was the same year that The Steelmen had their greatest ever team, scoring a record 119 league goals in one season.

George Stevenson, who succeeded Hunter as Motherwell manager, is the club's most successful manager, winning the League Cup and Scottish Cup in 9 years at Fir Park.
