The Championship campaign is 11 fixtures deep, but we have already seen a handful of managerial changes in the second tier.
Sixth placed Birmingham City replaced John Eustace with departing DC United boss Wayne Rooney this week. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday are yet to appoint a successor to Xisco Munoz. The former Watford chief lasted 10 games at Hillsborough, with the Owls still winless following promotion via the League One play-offs. Neil Thompson is in caretaker charge for the time being.
Neil Warnock also left Huddersfield Town soon after keeping them up last season, with ex-Wednesday manager Darren Moore taking over in the Terriers hot seat. The summer saw plenty of new appointments too, with Leicester City, Southampton, Leeds United, Cardiff City, Watford and Swansea City all making fresh appointments.
Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe, therefore, finds himself towards the top of the list of longest-serving Championship managers. North End brought Lowe in from Plymouth Argyle in December 2021, following the dismissal of Frankie McAvoy. Coventry City manager Mark Robins tops the list, which you can read in full right here.
