The Premier League has confirmed its full set of managers for the 2026/27 season, and it’s been one of the most disruptive off-seasons in years. With Fulham finally appointing Alvaro Arbeloa, all 20 clubs now have their head coach locked in before a ball is kicked. Here’s a full rundown of who’s in charge where, and just how much change the league is dealing with heading into the new campaign.

The Headline Moves

Three of the league’s biggest clubs enter the new season under completely new management. Chelsea have appointed Xabi Alonso, who returns to English football after major spells in charge at Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, and who is fondly remembered by Liverpool fans for his playing days at Anfield. Manchester City have turned to Enzo Maresca, hired straight from Chelsea, while Liverpool have gone with Andoni Iraola, one of the most highly-regarded young coaches in the league following his work at Bournemouth.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest have moved on from Vitor Pereira in favor of Oliver Glasner, fresh off a strong spell at Crystal Palace, while Crystal Palace themselves have turned to Pierre Sage, previously an academy director at Lyon, in what’s one of the more unconventional appointments of the summer.

Newly Promoted Clubs Bring Fresh Faces Too

All three sides coming up from the Championship have new bosses in place for their return to the top flight. Gary O’Neil takes charge at Ipswich Town, while Hull City and Coventry City continue under Sergej Jakirovic and Frank Lampard respectively, both appointed before promotion was secured. Bournemouth have also made a change at the top, bringing in Marco Rose.

The Steady Hands

Amid all the turnover, a handful of managers provide continuity at the very top of the table. Mikel Arteta remains at Arsenal, now the league’s longest-serving manager after guiding the club to a first Premier League title in 22 years last season, an achievement that also earned him the league’s Manager of the Season award. Eddie Howe continues at Newcastle United, and Unai Emery stays on at Aston Villa, both entering new seasons with settled squads built around their own long-term plans.

Just How Much Turnover Has There Been?

The scale of change this summer is genuinely striking. Eight of the league’s 20 managers have only been in their current jobs since June or later this year, and remarkably, only three of the 20 have been in place for three years or more. It’s a reminder of just how unforgiving Premier League management has become, where even strong recent form rarely buys much long-term security.

Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool in particular will be under close watch throughout August, as three of the league’s biggest clubs try to hit the ground running under entirely new leadership at the same time.
