#7 Alvaro Cervera (Cadiz) - April 2016 - present (4 years, nine months)
Alvaro Cervera was appointed as the manager of Cadiz in April 2016, with the club languishing in the Spanish third division.
He helped the club attain promotion to the second division in his first full season in charge before losing out on promotion to La Liga a year later.
Cadiz finally returned to La Liga in July 2020, ending a 14-year absence from the Spanish top flight.
It has been a bitter-sweet return for the Andalusians. They are currently engaged in a relegation scrap, although shock victories have already been registered against Real Madrid and Barcelona.
#6 Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) - October 2015 to present (5 years, three months)
Jurgen Klopp made a name for himself at Borussia Dortmund, with whom he won consecutive Bundesliga titles.
His appointment at Liverpool in October 2015 saw him promise to turn 'doubters to believers'. He fulfilled his promise five years later when he guided the Reds to a maiden Premier League title.
The UEFA Champions League as well as the FIFA Club World Cup have also been won to grant the German tactician immortality at Anfield.
#5 José Luis Mendilibar (Eibar) - June 2015 to date (5 years, seven months)
Jose Luis Mendilibar had a moderate playing career which saw him make over 500 career appearances without featuring for a La Liga club.
His managerial career has been more productive, with several spells undertaken at different Spanish clubs.
Having earlier managed Eibar for one year between 2004 and 2005, the Basque native returned to Ipurua to replace Gaikza Garitano as the club manager in June 2015.
He has since guided the Basque outfit to a club-record ninth place finish in La Liga as well as the quarterfinal in the 2016-2017 Copa del Rey (also the club's highest finish in the competition).
The 59-year-old has managed Eibar in over 230 matches, with a 31.76% win ratio recorded.
#4 Sean Dyche (Burnley) - October 2012 to present (8 years, 3 months)
Following a brief spell as Watford manager, Sean Dyche was appointed to the Burnley dugout in October 2012.
His first season on the Turf Moor bench saw him break several club records en-route to gaining promotion to the Premier League after a four-year hiatus. Their return, however, lasted just one season, as the Clarets suffered an immediate relegation.
Another promotion was gained at the end of the 2015-2016 EFL Championship season, and Burnley have remained in the top flight since then.
They have gained notoriety as one of the toughest clubs to break down, with Dyche molding his team into a physically fit and dominating side.
They secured European football for the first time in over 50 years, courtesy of their seventh-place finish in 2018.
