Premier League manager sacked: third boss to be fired in 2022/23 with Brendan Rodgers in hot water

Kyle Bonn | Sports Ticket Depot 

Scott Parker became the first managerial casualty of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign when the ex-England international left Bournemouth on August 30.

A 9-0 hammering at Liverpool, allied with a post-match interview in which a clearly unhappy Parker appeared to take aim at the club's transfer policy, were followed three days later by the Cherries announcing his shock departure after a mere four league matches.


Thomas Tuchel was the next to go in early September with Chelsea firing the man that won them a UEFA Champions League title just 15 months ago. 

A 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in Europe saw the Blues pull the trigger on Tuchel's time at the club. 

Leicester's Brendan Rodgers is the current betting favorite to depart his club next, with the Foxes still seeking a first win after losing five of their six opening games. Steven Gerrard, of Aston Villa, and his fellow former England legend Frank Lampard, who leads Everton, are also in the running.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is among the coaches whose odds have significantly and rapidly lengthened, while Jurgen Klopp was installed as fifth-favourite to be sacked following the latest poor result for Liverpool of the new season, losing their Champions League opener 4-1 at Italian side Napoli.

First manager sacked in each Premier League season

The first manager sacked in Premier League history was Ian Porterfield of Chelsea, who lasted a whopping 29 matches before seeing the axe in mid-February.

The fastest manager ever sacked in the Premier League was Kenny Dalglish, who was ousted at Newcastle United after just two matches into the 1998/99 season. Peter Reid, Bobby Robson, Frank de Boer, and Javi Gracia were all given the boot after just four matches.

Tottenham are the club that appears on this list the most, having been the first to part ways with their manager in four seasons. Newcastle appear three times, as do Chelsea and Sunderland.

Parker's exit came extremely early: on average, the first Premier League manager is sacked after 10.8 games, which would entail a mid-October timing during the 2022/23 season. Matchweek 10 is scheduled for October 8-10, while Matchweek 11 is set for October 14-16.

Betting on first manager sacked or next manager

When betting on the first manager sacked in a Premier League season, it's important to pay close attention to the title of the bet.

Sometimes, managers can depart of their own accord, or by "mutual consent," leading to some questions around what constitutes being "sacked."

Officially, the bet is often titled "Next Premier League Manager to Leave their Club" which eliminates much of the confusion around what constitutes being fired, released, let go, or departing by mutual consent.

Additionally, when placing bets involving "Next Manager" for a club, the word "Permanent" is often included, meaning interim managers are not given consideration for a winning bet. Thus, if a manager is given an "interim" tag as a replacement, the bet remains open until the "interim" tag is removed or a new permanent boss is hired from elsewhere.
