New Managers in the Dug Out

One-fifth of clubs in the Premier League have changed managers since the final day of last season on 23 May.

*Nuno Espirito Santo, who guided Wolves to two top-seven finishes, the FA Cup semi-finals and Europa League quarter-finals before leaving in May, has taken over at Tottenham, who had Ryan Mason in caretaker charge at the end of last season following Jose Mourinho’s sacking.

*Rafael Benitez is back in the Premier League after a two-year absence following his appointment at Everton – which has not been well received by all Toffees fans.

The former Liverpool manager, who has replaced Carlo Ancelotti, called Everton a “small club” after a draw in the Merseyside derby in 2007.

“It was a long time ago,” Benitez, just the second man to take charge of both Everton and Liverpool, replied to a question about his “small club” comment.

*Lage

Former Benfica boss Bruno Lage has replaced fellow Portuguese Nuno at Wolves, while France 1998 World Cup winner Patrick Vieira is the new boss at Crystal Palace.
