Some managers in the EFL have had more than one spell in charge at their current club, as is the case with Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman, currently in his second reign in charge having previously spent 13 years as manager of the club. Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is currently the youngest manager in the EFL, aged 35 at the time of his appointment in December 2021. Following the dismissal of Sean Dyche by Burnley in April 2022, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp became the longest serving manager in the Premier League, and fourth overall. Simon Weaver is currently the longest-serving manager in the top four divisions, having managed Harrogate Town since May 2009, though eleven of those years were outside the EFL accordingly, Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has the longest concurrent tenure as manager in the EFL, having been appointed in September 2012, and the second longest in total. The Premier League is the top tier, and consists of 20 clubs at the top of the English football league system, while the remaining 72 clubs are split into the three divisions of the EFL: the Championship, League One and League Two.Ī 2020 study by broadcaster Sky Sports showed the average reign for departing managers in the 2019–20 season was an all-time low of 423 days.

The Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) are the only fully professional football leagues in England. There are 92 association football teams in the top four divisions of English football, all of which have a manager, sometimes given the alternative title of head coach, or the role is currently vacated. Simon Weaver (pictured in 2007) has managed Harrogate Town since 2009, though this time was spent outside the English Football League until 2020.
