Profile

Paul Tisdale is often cited as one of the most stylish managers in football thanks to his dapper hats and cravats, but he's also shown that he has substance, racking up four promotions with Bath City before joining Exeter in 2006.

Tisdale is the longest serving manager in the Football League, with over 500 games at the helm of Exeter, where he won successive promotions to League One, albeit a subsequent relegation was a slight blemish on his CV.
