The longest-serving and most successful person to manage Stoke City is Tony Waddington, who won the League Cup in 1972, Stoke's only major trophy. He also guided the club to consecutive FA Cup semi-finals as well as two appearances in the UEFA Cup and a fourth-place finish in the First Division in his 17-year reign as manager. Welsh manager Tony Pulis had two spells in charge of Stoke which saw him guide the club to promotion to the Premier League in 2008 and a first FA Cup Final in 2011.
