Premier League clubs begin the 2026/27 season with a record nine new managers after Newcastle United appointed Matthias Jaissle.

The Premier League will begin the 2026/27 campaign with a record nine clubs under new management, setting a new competition benchmark before a ball has been kicked.

The record was confirmed after Newcastle United appointed Matthias Jaissle as head coach following Eddie Howe’s departure. Jaissle’s arrival means nine clubs will start the new season with different managers from those who began the previous campaign.

The 38-year-old German joins Newcastle after a successful spell with Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli, where he won major honours. He now takes charge as the Magpies look to build on their recent progress.

The unprecedented managerial turnover reflects a summer of significant change across England’s top flight, with clubs opting for fresh leadership ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive season.

According to Punch Online, the 2026/27 Premier League season kicks off on Friday, August 21, with Arsenal hosting newly promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester City found guilty of Premier League financial breaches

Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges relating to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules by an independent commission. According to Sky Sports, the commission found that City arranged what it described as “sham” contracts with several commercial partners between 2009/10 and 2017/18. The arrangements allegedly formed part of a scheme that artificially increased the club’s reported revenues by about £830 million. The commission also found that the club submitted accounts that concealed the true state of its finances and was significantly in breach of both Premier League and UEFA spending limits. City was also found guilty of failing to co-operate with the Premier League investigation. City to appeal Manchester City has confirmed that it will appeal the commission’s findings. The club has until Friday, October 2, 2026, to lodge its appeal. The club said it was “disappointed and surprised” by the decision and maintained that it was innocent of the allegations. City also argued that the commission’s opinion contained errors of law, principle and fact. Sanction yet to be decided No punishment has been announced at this stage. A separate process will determine the sanctions, while the appeal could affect the final outcome. The case began with the Premier League’s investigation into City and led to more than 100 charges being brought against the club in February 2023. Reuters describes the case as involving alleged breaches dating from the 2009/10 to 2017/18 seasons. The Premier League has said it wants the remaining process, including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions, concluded as soon as possible.
