Nine managers have already left their roles during the ongoing campaign, underlining the high-stakes environment of England’s top flight.

The most turbulent situation has unfolded at Nottingham Forest, where three managers Nuno Espírito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, and Sean Dyche have all been dismissed in the same season.
