Every manager sacked in the 2025/26 Premier League season

Why each manager lost their job

Nuno Espírito Santo

Nuno Espírito Santo had guided Nottingham Forest through European football the previous season, but his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis had deteriorated beyond repair. He was sacked on 8 September after just three Premier League games of the new campaign. The club moved quickly, appointing Ange Postecoglou the same day.

Graham Potter 

Graham Potter secured one win in five Premier League games at West Ham before being sacked on 27 September. He had joined the club at the start of 2025 and could not replicate the form that had made his name at Brighton. Nuno, freshly available following his Forest exit, took over at the London Stadium on the same day.

Ange Postecoglou

Postecoglou's time at Forest lasted 39 days, making it the second-shortest permanent managerial reign in Premier League history. He won none of his eight games in charge. The owner sacked him 20 minutes after a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea in October, reportedly leaving his seat before full time. Forest then turned to Sean Dyche.

Vítor Pereira

Vítor Pereira's Wolves had lost eight of their first ten league matches and were rooted to the bottom of the table when he was sacked on 2 November. Rob Edwards, previously at Luton, was appointed as his replacement.

Enzo Maresca

Enzo Maresca's departure from Chelsea on 1 January was framed as a mutual consent, but the underlying cause was a reported breakdown in his relationship with the club's ownership. Chelsea were fifth in the table at the time. Liam Rosenior was appointed on 6 January.

Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim was sacked by Manchester United on 5 January after 14 months in charge. His relationship with director of football Jason Wilcox had broken down, and his win rate of 31.9% was the lowest of any permanent United manager in the Premier League era. Darren Fletcher took interim charge briefly before Michael Carrick was appointed on 13 January until the end of the season.

Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank left Tottenham on 11 February after eight months in charge. Spurs had gone eight Premier League games without a win, their worst run since 2008, and had drifted into the bottom half of the table. Frank had criticised supporters after a home defeat in November, which accelerated the deterioration in his relationship with the fanbase. Igor Tudor, who had most recently managed Juventus, was appointed on 13 February.

Sean Dyche

Sean Dyche became Nottingham Forest's third manager of the season when he was sacked on 12 February after 114 days in charge. A goalless draw at home to bottom club Wolves had left Forest in 17th. Vítor Pereira, sacked by Wolves three months earlier, was brought back to replace him.

Igor Tudor

Igor Tudor lasted 44 days at Tottenham, winning zero Premier League games from five attempts and picking up just one point. He left by mutual consent on 29 March after a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Spurs are searching for their third permanent manager of the campaign with the club battling to stay above the relegation zone.

How the managerial merry-go-round compares to previous seasons

Nine managerial changes by the end of March is a high number by any standard. The previous record for sackings in a single Premier League season was 12, set in 2022/23. With seven games still to play in 2025/26 and at least two clubs in significant danger at the bottom, that record could be challenged. 

Previous seasons with high turnover tended to feature clubs in obvious distress at the bottom. What makes 2025/26 different is that three of the nine changes happened at clubs outside the relegation zone, including Chelsea, Manchester United and Forest. That reflects a broader trend of ownership groups acting quickly when internal relationships break down, regardless of league position.
