A interval of relative calm within the high flight, partly stemming from the disrupted schedule because the Covid-19 pandemic hit, has given strategy to a flurry of firings this season.
Xisco left Watford and Newcastle’s new homeowners relieved Steve Bruce of his duties, each earlier than October was out.
Nuno Espirito Santo lasted simply 4 months at Tottenham and the departures of Daniel Farke and Dean Smith from Norwich and Aston Villa respectively meant 1 / 4 of the league had modified coaches by November 7 – not since Jacques Santini’s resignation from Tottenham on November 5, 2004 has the fifth managerial change of a season occurred earlier.
Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shortly adopted and although December proved uncharacteristically quiet, Rafael Benitez left Everton on January 16 to equal the tally from current seasons earlier than Ranieri made it eight.

There have been 31 November departures in 30 Premier League seasons, with this time period matching the report of 4 in 1994-95. 4 of these have come at Spurs, with Nuno following Mauricio Pochettino two years in the past, Santini in 2004 and Gerry Francis in 1997.
Solely two different months can boast a better casualty fee – Could with 37 and December with 32, whereas no different month surpasses 20.
There are logical explanations for these totals, with Could nearly invariably marking the tip of the season whereas the January switch window unavoidably sharpens the main target of golf equipment contemplating a change previous to that time. Ranieri is the twentieth January departure, matching the respective figures for February and March.
