I have taken a look at Premier League managers.
What the situation was on 15 August 2025 when the 2025/26 PL season kicked off.
Then comparing that to the position now (2 June 2026).
We are only talking nine and a half months ago when the 2025/26 campaign kicked off in England.
So how many of those Premier League managers are still with their clubs?
Premier League managers who were in charge at start of 2025/26 season on 15 August 2025:
Arsenal – Mikel Arteta
Aston Villa – Unai Emery
Bournemouth – Andoni Iraola (Announced in April 2026 he would be leaving at end of season)
Brentford – Keith Andrews
Brighton – Fabian Hurzeler
Burnley – Scott Parker (Sacked on 30 April 2026)
Chelsea – Enzo Maresca (Sacked on 1 January 2026, replaced by Liam Rosenior who was sacked on 22 April 2026)
Crystal Palace – Oliver Glasner (Announced on 16 January 2026 he would leave at end of the season)
Everton – David Moyes
Fulham – Marco Silva (Has refused to sign new contract and expected to leave at end of current deal this summer)
Leeds – Daniel Farke
Liverpool – Arne Slot (Sacked on 30 May 2026)
Manchester City – Pep Guardiola (Announced on 22 May 2026 he would be leaving at end of season)
Manchester United – Ruben Amorim (Sacked 5 January 2026)
Newcastle United – Eddie Howe
Nottingham Forest – Nuno Espirito Santo (Sacked on 8 September 2025, replaced by Ange Postecoglou who was sacked on 18 October 2025, replaced by Sean Dyche who was sacked on 12 February 2026)
Sunderland – Regis le Bris
Tottenham – Thomas Frank (Sacked on 11 February 2026, replaced by Igor Tudor who was sacked on 29 March 2026)
West Ham – Graham Potter (Sacked on 27 September 2025)
Wolves – Vitor Pereira (Sacked on 2 November 2026)
Assuming Marco Silva does indeed move on, that would mean only eight Premier League managers who kicked off the 2025/26 season will still be in the same job. An astonishing 60% departure rate in less than ten months!
Indeed, when you take into account some clubs have seen two or more depart, if/when Silva does leave Craven Cottage that would mean an astonishing 16 Premier League managers had left their clubs in a ten month period.
Back in the day, it used to be seen as laughable how often managers would be hired and fired in the likes of Serie A and La Liga.
Yet now this is what we see with Premier League managers.
Is it a natural thing to happen with the English top tier so highly pressurised and seen as the most competitive league in world football?
Will regular change lead to more or less chance of success compared to long-term stability with the same manager?
