The Premier League's 2026-27 campaign hasn't even begun, but according to the BBC, it has already broken records off the pitch — for managerial upheaval.
A record number of clubs will start the new season under new management, making it one of the most transformative pre-season periods the competition has seen. The scale of change reflects the increasingly ruthless nature of the modern top flight, where patience for underperforming managers continues to shrink.
While the BBC's report doesn't detail every individual appointment, it frames this summer's turnover as unprecedented for the competition, setting up a season where fresh faces on the touchline could shape the title race and relegation battle alike.
With so many new bosses settling into their roles before a ball is kicked, the coming campaign promises early volatility, as clubs and fans alike wait to see which appointments prove inspired — and which prove premature.
