This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Deportivo Cali since 1912, the date of the first available data for a club manager. Each manager's entry includes his years of tenure, honours won and significant achievements while under his care, where available. Caretaker managers and player-managers are included, where known. As of 2024, Deportivo Cali has had 55 known full-time managers, 10 caretaker managers, and 5 player-managers.
The first known manager for Deportivo Cali in the professional era was Moisés Emilio Reuben, who arrived to the club as a player in 1947 and was appointed as player-manager shortly after, ahead of the team's first participation in the Colombian football championship in 1948.[1]
The most successful Deportivo Cali manager in terms of trophies won is Francisco "Pancho" Villegas, who won three Categoría Primera A trophies in his first five-year tenure as manager.[2] He is also the club's longest-serving manager, having served for five years between 1965 and 1970 and then again for a brief period in 1976.
