As we know. Arsene Wenger has departed from Arsenal and today we hear that Paul Tisdale has left Exeter. As a result of this, DC has moved up to 7th in the table of longest serving managers currently employed within the top 4 leagues.
As of today:
1 Jim Bentley - Morecambe - 7 years 19 days
2 Gareth Ainsworth - Wycombe - 5 years 250 days
3 Neal Ardley - Wimbledon - 5 years 234 days
4 Eddie Howe - Bournemouth - 5 years 231 days
5 Sean Dyche - Burnley - 5 years 214 days
6 Keith Hill - Rochdale - 5 years 130 days
7 Darrell Clarke - Bristol Rovers - 4 years 65 days
8 Mauricio Pochettino - Tottenham - 4 years 5 days
9 John Coleman - Accrington - 3 years 256 days
10 Chris Hughton - Brighton - 3 years 152 days
I wonder how many of these 10 managers will still be in charge by the start of the season, by the start of the January transfer window and after the last game of next season!!
In case any City fans are reading:
22 Lee Johnson - Bristol City - 2 years 115 days
13th on the list to 29th on the list have been in their current job between 2-3 years.
30th on the list to 45th on the list have been in their current job between 1-2 years.
46th on the list to 86th on the list have been in their current job for less than a year.
6 clubs currently have no manager.
