English Premier League clubs set an incredible record in the history of the competition

Wolves fired their head coach Vitor Pereira following a streak of 10 games without a victory, leading the 2025/26 Premier League to a new milestone with four managers losing their jobs after only 10 matches.

Wolves are in crisis after becoming the latest Premier League club to part ways with their manager. Following a 0-3 defeat to Fulham last weekend, the Molineux leadership decided to terminate the contract of Vitor Pereira, who had only been in charge for 11 months.

The loss at Craven Cottage plunged Wolves further down the league table with 10 matches without a win since the start of the season, including 8 defeats. This is the second consecutive season the yellow-and-black team has had a poor start, forcing a mid-season managerial change to try to turn things around.

The decision to sack Pereira is not only a disappointment for Wolves but also marks a new record in Premier League history: the highest number of managers dismissed so early in a single season. As of November 4, four head coaches have officially lost their positions, the highest number recorded at this stage in any season..

Before Pereira, three other managers were dismissed: Nuno Espirito Santo (Nottingham Forest), sacked on September 9; Graham Potter (West Ham United), dismissed on September 27; and Ange Postecoglou (Nottingham Forest), let go on October 18.

Notably, Nottingham Forest replaced their manager twice within just over a month, highlighting the clubs’ impatience in the relegation battle.

According to English experts, the trend of “mid-season managerial changes” is becoming increasingly common as the Premier League experiences unprecedented competition intensity. Even a short run of poor results can cost managers their jobs due to pressure from fans, media, and especially financial risks if the club is relegated.

Wolves are urgently searching for a replacement for Pereira. Multiple sources from England report that the club has contacted several free agents, including Ten Hag, who previously managed Manchester United. However, Wolves’ leadership intends to make a careful decision to avoid repeating past mistakes.

With four managers already dismissed after only 10 rounds, the 2025/26 Premier League is witnessing a grim record for the speed of managerial changes. In the harsh whirlwind of top-level football, stability on the bench seems to be becoming a luxury.
