List of Cambridge United F.C. managers

This is a list of Cambridge United managers since the 1970/71 season and the club's inception into the Football League. The club had 15 permanent managers as a League club until it was relegated to the Football Conference in 2005, as well as three who took the role on a caretaker basis. Only John Beck has held the role more than once, including a spell from 1990 to 1992 which is generally considered one of the most successful in the club's history.

Following the departure of Martin Ling in February 2010,[1] when the club was placed under the caretaker management of CRC manager Jez George.[2] George was confirmed as permanent manager in the summer of 2011 and has built a squad with a mixture of experience and youth players from the CRC development side.
