History

Historical Context

The trend of managerial instability in English football has intensified since 2015, when Chelsea sacked José Mourinho after a poor start. By the 2022-23 season, Nottingham Forest dismissed three managers, including Sean Dyche, while Tottenham Hotspur struggled with only two wins in 17 matches. This rapid turnover raises concerns about team cohesion and the long-term viability of such managerial practices in the Premier League.
