In fact, ahead of David Moyes in fourth place is Accrington Stanley manager, John Coleman. He is one of 23 managers that have managed their clubs for more than 2 years - in John's case, an amazing 11+ years. And where are Accrington Stanley? They are a modest 19th in League Two right now.

As for Coleman's history - he was a prolific non-league striker scoring over 500 goals for an impressive list of clubs - Kirkby Town, Burscough, Marine, Southport, Runcorn, Macclesfield Town, Rhyl, Witton Albion, Morecambe, Lancaster City and Ashton United.
