Managers' Records In The Derby
  
 
Everton had never had a full-time manager before the 2nd World War, leaving team responsibility to Directors' sub-committees and senior coaches. The situation at Liverpool was similar with Secretary-Managers taking charge of team affairs but Directors picking the team itself.

So, the list below covers only post-World War II Derby matches and includes League, FA Cup, League Cup, Charity Shield and Screen Sport Super Cup meetings.

The percentage figure in the final column is the number of points a manager won during these competitive games in his time at the helm divided by the the total number that were available and is based on 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw across all competitions.
