Ryan Lowe has been in the Preston North End hot seat for two-and-a-half years now - and the Lilywhites are looking to finish the season strongly.

North End are in the Championship play-off picture, with nine games left to play. It's Rotherham United at Deepdale this Friday, before an away clash at Birmingham City on Monday. Lowe guided PNE to a 13th placed finish in the 2021/22 season and 12th spot the campaign after. This season has been up and down, but improved form in 2024 has North End occupying ninth place.

But, how does Lowe's record at Deepdale stack up against previous PNE bosses? We take a look at his points-per-game here, compared to every other North End manager this century.
