With Euro 2024 getting underway a matter of days, final preparations will be being made, with players going that extra mile and managers keeping a watchful eye over their squads and their upcoming opponents.
Ahead of what is likely to be an action-packed tournament, the pressure will be on the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Gareth Southgate and Didier Deschamps to get performances out of their sides. But based on win percentage, they're not the only ones to watch. With that in mind, Football FanCast has ranked every Euro 2024 manager on that very metric, as you can see below.
All information correct as of 12th June 2024.
Euro 2024 tournament guide: Teams, matches, dates, TV channels, odds & more
Football FanCast has put together a guide for all things Euro 2024, with venues, fixtures, tables, stadiums and more all covered here.

Looking to make up for Turkey's poor showing at Euro 2020 when they were many fans' dark horses, Vincenzo Montella entered March's international break for Euro 2024 having won all bar one of his four games, before defeats against Hungary and Austria – the latter a heavy 6-1 drubbing.
However, Turkey did earn a commendable draw against Italy, who had thrashed them at the beginning of the previous European Championship, before losing to Poland in their final warm-up match.
Semi-finalists in 2008, Turkey are up against Portugal, Georgia and the Czech Republic in Group F as they face a tough task to reach the last 16.
23 Edward Iordanescu (Romania) 37.5% win rate

Up against Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine, Edward Iordanescu will be the man tasked with pulling off an upset in charge of Romania at the Euros in Germany this summer. The manager has a record of 9 wins in 24 during his time in charge of the national team, which is currently the joint-worst of all qualified nations – despite qualifying top of their group ahead of Switzerland.
He faces a tough job this summer, but given the nation's fine qualifying campaign and relatively open group, an upset in Group E could yet be on the cards.
However, two goalless draws against Bulgaria and Liechtenstein will hardly have been the tournament build-up Iordanescu would have been hoping for.
22 Murat Yakin (Switzerland) 44.1% win rate

As Switzerland look to make amends for their poor showing in previous tournaments from the team often dubbed the dark horses of a competition, Murat Yakin will be the man in the dugout. The 49-year-old, appointed in August 2021, has 15 wins in an inconsistent spell to date. Yakin will have to guide Switzerland out of Group A against Scotland, Germany and Hungary.
21 Steve Clarke (Scotland) 49.1% win rate

Competing in just their fourth Euros in their history, Scotland and Steve Clarke will be up against Germany, Hungary and Switzerland in Group A as they look to advance to the knockout stages for the first time. With Clarke winning just under half of his 55 games in charge, improving that this summer may not be out of the question.
20 Matjaz Kek (Slovenia) 49.1% win rate

Ahead of what should prove to be a tight Group C up against Serbia, Denmark and England, Slovenia are in good stead to reach the knockout phase in Germany this summer, with Matjaz Kek's record of winning almost half of his matches in charge a boost towards that.
Kek will hope to see that record improve even further on the big stage, particularly after beating Portugal in March. In fact, Slovenia are unbeaten since November 2023.
19 Julian Nagelsmann (Germany) 50% win rate

After eight games in charge of Germany, Nagelsmann's record has slightly improved the nation's terrible form heading into their home tournament. He has overseen four victories during those games, coming in wins over the United States, France, Netherlands and Greece.
The former Bayern Munich boss has also suffered defeats against Austria and Turkey, whilst also drawing 2-2 against Mexico in an inconsistent start for a talented manager. The pressure will now be on to perform in charge of the host country at the Euros.
18 Willy Sagnol (Georgia) 50% win rate

Former France defender Willy Sagnol has guided Georgia to a first-ever major tournament after beating Greece on penalties in a tense play-off clash in Tbilisi.
Georgia did not have the greatest of qualifying campaigns, but their Nations League performance it what led to their Euro 2024 berth, with Sagnol winning exactly half of his matches in charge since taking over three years ago.
The Crusaders won the only warm-up game away to Montenegro, with Turkey their next assignment.
17 Marco Rossi (Hungary) 50.8% win rate

After 63 games, Marco Rossi's record as Hungary manager is one he'll be hoping to improve on this summer. With the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai to call on, Hungary could yet cause some upsets up against hosts Germany, as well as Scotland and Switzerland in Group A, especially given Germany's recent record ahead of the tournament.
Highlights of his time in charge include finishing above Germany and England in the Nations League, where they missed out on a place in the finals by a point, as well as holding Germany and France to draws at Euro 2020.
They were beaten by Ireland ahead of this summer's tournament, but bounced back to defeat Israel as they prepare for their opener against Switzerland.
16 Francesco Calzona (Slovakia) 52.9% win rate

Slovakia will square off against Belgium, Romania and Ukraine in Germany this summer, where they will hope to upset the favourites and sail through to the knockout stage. In charge of that task will be Francesco Calzona, who has enjoyed a decent record during his two-year stay. So far, that record has included nine wins, four draws and four defeats, along with qualification for a first Euros finals since 2000.
The most recent of those victories included morale-boosting wins over San Marino and Wales, with successive 4-0 scorelines seeing them head into their Group E opener in good spirits.
15 Sylvinho (Albania) 53.8% win rate
January 2023

Granted, he has only had 13 games in charge of Albania, but Sylvinho boasts an impressive record, having won seven of those games in a solid start to his tenure ahead of Euro 2024 in Germany, where his side will be in Group B with Spain, Italy and Croatia.
Albania topped their qualifying group ahead of fellow qualifiers Czech Republic and Poland.
