Record number of new managers for season like no other

The 2026-27 Premier League season has already made history as it features the highest number of new permanent managers at the start of a season, with nine clubs beginning the campaign with a new leadership. This includes Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and several others. The scale of turnover has dramatically reshaped the Premier League's managerial landscape, with Liverpool appointing Andoni Iraola, Manchester City turning to Enzo Maresca, Chelsea appointing Xabi Alonso, and others following similar patterns.

This unprecedented change has created a more dynamic and unpredictable title race, with traditional notions of the "new manager bounce" being closely watched.
