1998Joint managers
Roy Evans & Gérard Houllier
A short experiment in joint management bridged two eras. Evans and Houllier shared responsibility before Houllier took sole charge in November.
The partnership lasted 18 competitive matches. A promising league start gave way to inconsistent results, and Evans left on 12 November 1998. This separate entry keeps that shared period distinct from either manager’s sole tenure.
