Premier League 2022-23: Managers who were sacked this season

These managers were only at the clubs for a short time before they were sacked due to various reasons.

Managing a football team is a very competitive and demanding job. Managers are expected to achieve great results right away. If their team does not perform well, they are often the first ones to be fired.

Some managers have different ideas than the people in charge and others don't have a clear plan. Some managers have also lost their job because the club is quick to make changes.

Let’s look at the list of managers that were sacked in the Premier League this season.

12. Brendan Rodgers, Leicester City

Following a late defeat at Crystal Palace on April 2 2023, Leicester City have officially sacked Brendan Rodgers, the team's head coach, as a result of their drop into the Premier League relegation zone. The club's winless run of seven matches raised concerns, prompting crisis talks and ultimately leading to the end of Rodgers's four-year tenure. This decision has come as a significant blow to both Rodgers and the team's supporters, as his leadership had led them to achieve impressive results and secure a place among the top teams in the league.

11. Graham Potter, Chelsea

Chelsea FC have parted ways with Graham Potter after facing a 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa on April 2 2023. On Sunday, the club released a statement announcing that “Graham Potter has departed the club. Graham has agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition. Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future. Bruno Saltor will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach.”

10. Antonio Conte, Spurs

The Italian manager was fired after a very controversial post-match press conference, in which he called out the commitment of the Tottenham players. Assistant manager Cristian Stellini was handed the interim job till the end of the season.

9. Patrick Vieira, Crystal Palace

The French manager was sacked after a dreadful run of form since the turn of the year. The Eagles were dreadful in front of goals and were leaking goals at the back constantly. Former manager Roy Hodgson was rehired as the new head coach and lead the side to an impressive 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the first game of his second run.

8. Nathan Jones, Southampton

Southampton become the first side in Premier League 2022-23 to sack two managers. Taking over from Ralph Hasenhüttl. Jones could not turn around the club's fortune; just one win in 9 games meant that the Welsh manager also faced the sack. The Saints are well and truly in the relegation battle and need to start putting points on the board if they want to stay in the English top flight next term.

7. Jesse Marsch, Leeds

On February 28, 2022, Marsch was named as the head coach of Leeds United. He signed a three-year contract following the departure of Marcelo Bielsa.
