#3 Christian Streich (Freiburg) - 29 December 2011 to present (9 years, one month)
Christian Streich is one of the greatest players in Freiburg's history. He played his way into the annals of the club during his six-year career with the side.
Following his retirement, he became assistant manager to Marcos Song at Freiburg but was promoted to the main role in December 2011 after the former's sacking.
Since then, he has enjoyed several highs and lows with the team. The club secured European qualification as well as a club-record semifinal appearance in the DFB Pokal.
Freiburg were, however, relegated at the end of the 2015-2016 season before gaining instant promotion by winning the Bundesliga 2.
Streich is one of the most admired managers within the German footballing circles, owing to his energetic personality and innovative tactics.
#2 Diego Simeone - 23 December 2011 to present (9 years, one month)
Diego Simeone is unarguably one of the most influential individuals in the history of Atletico Madrid following his exploits as both a player and manager.
He enjoyed a highly successful playing career that saw him win the biggest trophies and represent some of the best clubs in the world.
Simeone is one of a few men that have achieved success as both players and managers. His appointment at Atletico Madrid brought an instant transformation at the club, with Los Colchoneros going from also-rans in La Liga to bonafide European heavyweights.
While his style and tactics might not be the most pleasing, it cannot be debated that the Argentine is one of the best managers of his generation.
The 50-year-old's greatest managerial achievement to date came when he led an unfancied Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title in 2014, ending a 12-year drought.
Two appearances have also been made in the final of the UEFA Champions League, while major titles have been won elsewhere.
Simeone is one win away from surpassing the late great Luis Aragones' record for most wins in the club's history - in more than 100 games fewer.
#1 Stéphane Moulin (Angers) - June 2011 to present (11 years, seven months)
Stéphane Moulin has a history of lengthy managerial spells. He spent eight years in charge of Châtellerault and six in charge of Angers B before his promotion to the senior role in the summer of 2011.
He had represented the club for six years during his playing days and has since surpassed his playing legacy in the dugout.
The 53-year-old currently boasts a win ratio of 37.5% of the 400 matches he has overseen while in charge of Angers.
