Could we see 10 new managers in the Premier League next season!?

News that Andoni Iraola is to leave Bournemouth this summer adds yet another vacancy coming up at the end of this season.

The Cherries released a club statement on Tuesday afternoon confirming the news that Iraola will depart at the conclusion of the campaign, which could take us into double figures for new managers next term.

He joins Oliver Glasner on the outgoing list, with the current Crystal Palace having revealed that he wants a “new challenge”, having turned down contract offers from the hierarchy.

Premier League on course for almost a dozen new managers next season

Those two are confirmed, but there are many more in uncertain positions.

Although Michael Carrick is firmly in the running for the Manchester United job, as of right now, the Red Devils do not have a contracted manager for next season, so there could be another to add to the list at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has seen better days at Newcastle United, with his side in the wrong half of the table after clinching Champions League football last season, and David Ornstein has reported that the club are set to “evaluate” the managerial position in the summer.

Ornstein has also been one of key reporters tracking Pep Guardiola’s future at Manchester City, with the journalist stating that there’s “an extremely strong chance” of the manager leaving at the end of the season, on Sky Sports News.

One last Premier League title would be the perfect way for the Catalan coach to sign off, but if he does manage to catch Arsenal, after the lead they’d established at the top, that may also do for Mikel Arteta’s future in the Emirates dugout.

That’s not to mention the likes of Marco Silva at Fulham, who has been linked with a Craven Cottage exit for some time, and has a contract expiring this summer.

You also wouldn’t need to search far before finding fans of Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea and Liverpool who would be pleased to see the back of their incumbent managers, with the situation around Arne Slot at Anfield particularly growing in intensity.

FourFourTwo makes that 10 potentially live situations in the manager market, and that’s before counting in the new managers coming up from the Championship, albeit one of them could be Frank Lampard with Coventry City, who has managed, to varying degrees of success, in the division before.

The same goes for Kieran McKenna with Ipswich Town, but the likes of Middlesbrough’s Kim Hellberg would be a new face, if they found a way up. This summer’s transfer market promises to be as dizzying as ever, but for the first time in a while, manager movements may prove to be just as significant.

It’s a shame there’s no deadline day to get excited about when it comes to dugout switches.
