The managerial sack race is often a big part of the Premier League season. This campaign, however, clubs have been more reserved. Former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom and Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper are the only men to have been dismissed, while Roy Hodgson stepped down from Crystal Palace in March and Julen Lopetegui left Wolves before a ball had been kicked.
The previous season saw a record 14 managers sacked. It is perhaps not surprising that women’s football is more conservative.
