List of Premier League Managerial Moves By Season Since 1992

Since its inception in 1992, the Premier League has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for managers with an average of eight top flight teams per season making a change, whether it is forced upon them after a manager resigns or is porched by another club or through choice following a sacking.

Below is the full list of managerial departures that have occured (broken down by each season) since the Premier League began.
