Aston Villa boss Unai Emery had negotiated the longest deal in the Premier League until Brentford gave Thomas Frank new terms, while six managers are contracted only until the summer.
Here’s every top-flight manager and the expiry date of their current deals…
Arsenal: Mikel Arteta – 2025
A year ago, Arteta has extended his deal to the end of 2024/25, keeping him under contract for two more years. After the progress he’s made this season, they will be talking again very soon over an extension and a pay-rise.

Aston Villa: Unai Emery – 2027

Chelsea: Frank Lampard – end of the season
Just five games to go for Lampard. Five too many, while Mauricio Pochettino sits idly while Chelsea stumble from one shambles to another.
Crystal Palace: Roy Hodgson – end of the season
Hodgson remains in caretaker charge until the summer when Palace will try again to replace him. This time, there is talk of a role upstairs for the 75-year-old. Presumably in a nice, cosy chair.
Everton: Sean Dyche – 2025
Dyche signed for two and a half years when he put pen to paper back in January on a contract that reportedly contained a clause that stipulates he won’t be sacked if Everton go down, or the Toffees will have to pay up the two years in his deal. So it could cost them £10million if…
