The 2022/23 Premier League campaign bore witness to the most managerial departures in a single season, with 14 head honchos making way in perhaps the most competitive year of top-flight football yet. As the new season peers over the horizon, SportsLens have compiled exclusive odds on how many Premier League managers will leave during the 2023/24 campaign.
- 14 Premier League managers were either sacked or left their roles last season, setting a new record.
- Impatient owners yearning for immediate success have made Premier League management increasing cutthroat.
- The 2023/24 season is already shaping up to be even more competitive than last term.
How Many Premier League Managers Will Leave in 2023/24?
- Under 12 – 6/4
- 12-16 – 7/4
- Over 16 – 6/4
SportsLens Head of News Lee Astley said: “Premier League owners once again displayed their unsparing approach to management last season.
“At one stage, the entirety of the bottom-half of the table were in danger of relegation which of course led to a spate of dismissals. However, the underperforming elite were by no means immune as both Chelsea and Tottenham rounded off their seasons with caretaker managers in the hot seat.
“It would come as no surprise to see another chaotic season begin to unravel early on, which in turn would place mangers with already tenuous job security in serious danger of losing their jobs.”
Record-Breaking Season Highlights Unforgiving Managerial Landscape
Javi Gracia’s dismissal after just 70 days in charge of Leeds marked the second shortest stint ever as a Premier League boss, and also stretched the already-broken record for the most managerial exits in a single season to 14.
Chelsea alone oversaw two sackings and three different managers over the course of a disastrous season, which is indicative of the wider managerial merry-go-round that plagued the 2022/23 campaign.
Of the 20 teams who competed in the top-flight last year, 12 teams opted for a change in personnel, whether it be by way of sacking, mutual consent or in some rare cases, an amicable break-up.
What Can We Expect From Next Season?
One can never be judged fairly until the season is in full swing, but there are already several notable names who are under the cosh as we approach August’s start date.
Perhaps most pertinently, Wolves’ Julen Lopetegui, who is a former Europa League winner and Real Madrid manager, is the warm favourite to go first.
Although the Spaniard managed to steer the Wolf Pack away from relegation after taking over, he faces an incredibly tall order if he is to walk away with points from Manchester United, Brighton, Liverpool and Manchester City, who all feature in their first seven games.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth’s Adoni Iraola has a lot to prove if he is to get the Cherries faithful on board, particularly after fan-favourite Gary O’Neil was forced out in somewhat unfair circumstances.
Newcomers Ange Postecoglou, Paul Heckingbottom and Rob Edwards are all walking into the unknown, while a hugely competitive race for European places will inevitably leave one or two managers under pressure for failing to reach club demands.
