There are now 20 Premier League managers ahead of the new season, with Leicester City appointing Steve Cooper earlier today (Thursday 20 June 2024).
Astonishingly, at least five of the 20 Premier League clubs will kick off the 2024/25 season with new team bosses in charge.
Whilst 11 of the 20 Premier League managers have been in these jobs for one season or less.
Interesting then to see the following breakdown…
This is now the current position for longstanding Premier League managers and their start dates – as at 20 June 2024:
Pep Guardiola (Man City) 1 July 2016
Thomas Frank (Brentford) 16 October 2018
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) 22 December 2019
Marco Silva (Fulham) 1 July 2021
Eddie Howe (Newcastle United) 8 November 2021
Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town) 16 December 2021
Erik Ten Hag (Man Utd) 23 May 2022
Unai Emery (Villa) 1 November 2022
Sean Dyche (Everton) 30 January 2023
Ange Postecoglou (Spurs) 6 June 2023
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) 19 June 2023
Russell Martin (Southampton) 21 June 2023
Gary O’Neil (Wolves) 9 August 2023
Nuno (Forest) 20 December 2023
Oliver Glasner (Palace) 19 February 2024
Arne Slot (Liverpool) 1 June 2024
Steve Cooper (Leicester) 20 June 2024
Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton) Announced (15 June 2024) as going to take over once work permit is in place
Enzo Maresca (Chelsea) Announced taking over on 1 July 2024
Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) Announced taking over on 1 July 2024
Eddie Howe now occupying an astonishing position.
Currently, only four managers in the top tier have been at their clubs longer than Eddie Howe has been at Newcastle United.
The former Bournemouth boss becoming Newcastle United manager on 8 November 2021, that is two years and 223 days ago now.
Reality is as well, neither Thomas Frank nor Marco Silva were appointed as Premier League managers at their current clubs, at the time both Brentford and Fulham were second tier.
So taking all that into consideration, bosses who were appointed as Premier League managers at their current clubs.
When next season kicks off, only Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta with be ahead of Eddie Howe as having been appointed at Premier League clubs.
