Never before has the Premier League managerial merry-go-round span at quite the current rate of revolutions.
For the first time in the last three decades of top-flight English football, there have been as many as 13 managerial departures during the season.

His high-octane style without the ball is complemented by a complex approach in possession that could take Chelsea to remarkable heights should the Blues add a couple of crucial elements to their starting XI.
Nagelsmann’s got the talent and ego to succeed at Stamford Bridge.
