This is Premier League management, and these changes will happen again and again — Only four active Premier League managers enter this season having been in their job for more than three years.
Manchester United and Chelsea both removed their managers in the first week of 2026, and it’s likely they won’t be the last moves made this season.
Wolves also made a manager switch this season, hiring Rob Edwards after parting ways with Vitor Pereira in November, as a quarter of the league has changed bosses since Week 1.
Let’s take a run through the men who have hopped on the Premier League managerial roller coaster.

Who was the longest-tenured Premier League manager?
It’s difficult to imagine anyone doing the job longer than the legend who lasted nearly 10,000 days.
Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United from November 6, 1986 to June 1, 2023, a span of 9,704 days that are unlikely to be replicated by anyone else.
Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal tenure runs second, and he’s actually managed more PL games than Ferguson due to the date of the schedule’s expansion. Wenger has managed 828 games, 18 more than Ferguson.
Who has managed the most Premier League clubs?
Sam Allardyce has run nine clubs, each once.
Roy Hodgson and Mark Hughes have managed six different clubs.
Steve Bruce, Harry Redknapp, and Alan Pardew are next with five.
