- Stevenage Football Club is an English association football club based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The team competes in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. The most recent appointment was that of Steve Evans, who was appointed as the club's manager in March 2022. There have been 17 permanent managers of Stevenage since the club's formation in 1976. Victor Folbigg was the first manager of the newly formed team, although the club had not taken on senior status during his tenure. Derek Montgomery, who was already part of the management team, was appointed as the club's first manager at senior level and he oversaw the club's transition from intermediate to senior status in 1980. Paul Fairclough has had the longest tenure of any Stevenage manager, spending eight years and six months as manager between 1990 and 1998. Fairclough led the club to three promotions in his first four years in charge, as well as winning the Conference National during the 1995–96 season, although the club were ultimately denied promotion. Stevenage became the first team to win a competitive match at the new Wembley Stadium when they won the FA Trophy under Mark Stimson's management in 2007. It was the first time the club had won a national cup competition. Graham Westley, who was serving his second of four spells as manager, was the club's first manager in the Football League having guided Stevenage to the Conference Premier title in the 2009–10 season. The spell would prove to be his most fruitful; adding an FA Trophy triumph in 2009 and promotion via the play-offs into League One to his honours list. The following list details the statistical record of the managers and any honours or promotions they achieved. This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Stevenage. Each manager's entry includes his dates of tenure and the club's overall competitive record, in terms of matches won, drawn and lost, honours won and significant achievements while under his care. Caretaker managers are included, as well as those who have been in permanent charge. (en)
