Sacking season is here! Three managers are axed in an hour on Monday morning, with Barnsley's Markus Schopp and Scunthorpe's Neil Cox following Nuno Espirito Santo's Tottenham departure

The honeymoon period of the 2021-22 season is truly over after three managers were all axed on Monday morning after underwhelming starts to the campaign.

The big name was Nuno Espirito Santo, who departed his role as Tottenham manager after just four months at the helm in London.

But Championship side Barnsley and League Two outfit Scunthorpe also let the axe fall on their managers.
