Mark Hughes was the manager when Manchester City first started spending big in the transfer market

A name which not many people would have expected to be on this list, Mark Hughes the current Stoke City manager comes in 9th spot. What makes his inclusion even more surprising is the fact that apart from Manchester City, Hughes has managed teams which are more mid-table to bottom half teams.

The former Manchester United star in the last decade has managed 5 clubs which are – Balckburn Rovers, Manchester City, Fulham, Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City, his current club.

Hughes has not had a smooth managerial career having been sacked both by Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers.

The Stoke City manager has spent €432.53 million on transfers bringing in 46 players to the various clubs he has managed. However, he is one of the only two managers on the list to not win a single major trophy in the last 10 years.
