The Premier League in recent times has become the acid test for managers with the average tenure of a manager in England’s top-flight being just over one year according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2013/05/28/how-the-average-tenure-of-a-premier-league-manager-compares-to-other-leagues/">survey</a> conducted as recently as May 2013.
Another trend of recent years has been the lack of English managers in the Premier League with many clubs preferring to offer a foreign manager the job for various reasons. Manchester United’s recent managerial change typified the new trend with the twenty times champions of England appointing only their second non-British manager in <a href="worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2014/08/26/louis-van-gaals-selection-predicament-a-real-cause-for-concern/">Louis van Gaal</a>. The first was Frank O’Farrell from Ireland back in 1971.
However, there are still a number of English manager’s plying their trade in England’s top-flight with varying degrees of success at clubs with differing aspirations and budgets.
The newest English additions to the Premier League’s management table have come at Swansea City, Leicester City, Burnley and most recently Crystal Palace.
Garry Monk was instated as a caretaker manager of Swansea last season following the rather acrimonious, shock departure of Michael Laudrup and managed to steer the club away from relegation. Swansea, since their promotion to the Premier League in 2011, have never been a club to spend lavishly in the market, with the club spending sensible money on high quality players, all relatively early on in the window too.
This is why there is often little activity around the Liberty Stadium amidst the general madness of transfer deadline day and to a degree you have to applaud the club for that. On the flip side, Swansea were once again tipped to struggle with Monk having very little managerial experience. However, the Swans have started the season well and currently sit in fifth place with nine points from their first five gams.
An opening day victory over Manchester United set the tone, although the recent <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/2014/09/13/chelsea-vs-swansea-city-player-ratings-battle-for-top-of-the-league-ends-4-2/">4-2 defeat to Chelsea</a> has shown the difficulties Swansea may face as other teams begin firing on all cylinders.
Nigel Pearson has taken his Leicester City side into the Premier League with the sole ambition of avoiding immediate relegation. The club have been tipped as the best placed of the three promoted teams to avoid the drop and the additions of Argentine duo Esteban Cambiasso and Leonardo Ulloa have gone a long way to reinforce that point of view.
Leicester have been organised thus far with the defensive line seemingly hard to breach, as Arsene Wenger will testify, whilst the forward line is shining, albeit a little over reliant on Ulloa at this stage.
The quality of Leicester’s squad depth will be tested as the season progresses but at this point, Pearson looks to have a good handle on his squad who believe in his methods.
The signings of Manchester United youngsters Tom Lawrence and Nick Powell, with the latter on loan, are both exciting and could provide short bursts of quality at a later date.
It has been a somewhat different story at Turf Moor where Sean Dyche has endured one of the more difficult starts to life in the Premier League.
Burnley sit in 17th place without a win to their name, after a difficult start to the season in which they have faced both Chelsea and Manchester United.
Dyche made no secret of the fact the club were working with restrictions in the transfer market and this is highlighted when you compare the strength of Burnley’s squad to their relegation rivals.
The first win could be crucial for Burnley, who did at times test the respective defenses of United and Chelsea, however, Dyche is experiencing the pressures of the top-flight rather more quickly than most.
For Neil Warnock, it is still very early in his tenure with the 65-year-old having had just two matches in charge since he took over from Tony Pulis. Warnock brings managerial experience although there are still question marks over whether his methods can work with the modern footballer.
With Palace facing a couple of the teams expected to be in and around the relegation battle in the next month, we will get a greater indication of how Warnock’s handling of the squad is going.
