A record-breaking 14 top-flight bosses were either sacked or left their positions in 2023-23, with Bournemouth axing Scott Parker just four matches into the season.

Of course, there has been previous instances of managers leaving in the summer — most notably when Tony Pulis departed Crystal Palace two days before start of new season.
That's perhaps why Wolves' Julen Lopetegui is favourite to leave first at 11/2 with Sky Bet.
Lopetegui's future was considered uncertain earlier this summer after the Spaniard raised concerns over Wolves' Financial Fair Play issues and transfer budget.
He's since reaffirmed his commitment to the club despite the departures of Ruben Neves, Nathan Collins, Conor Coady, Joao Moutinho and Adama Traore – while only Boubacar Traore has arrived.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is next at 13/2.
Cooper, 43, guided the club to a 16th-placed position despite being considered 'on the brink' several times under notoriously trigger-happy owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Paul Heckingbottom is available at 7/1.
The Barnsley-born manager helped Sheffield United achieve promotion from the Championship but has lost seven of his only ten fixtures as a Premier League boss.
Luton Town's Rob Edwards and new Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola are offered at 8/1 and 9/1 respectively, along with 9/1 Marco Silva at Craven Cottage.
Sean Dyche and Everton are priced at 10/1 to part ways first.
The Englishman defied the odds to protect the Toffees' top-flight status but their FFP restrictions could prevent Dyche from making any significant additions to his squad.
Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Arsenal's Mikel Arteta are considered the safest roles in the division, with ZERO managerial changes priced at a colossal 500/1.
