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.

15. (10th) Matt Taylor (Rotherham) - 1 year
Rotherham appointed Taylor, 41, at the end of last year, after Paul Warne left the club to join Derby. The Millers managed to stay in the Championship last season but have taken just six points from their opening 11 games this term. Photo: Jess Hornby
16. (9th) Tony Mowbray (Sunderland) - 1 year and 1 month
Mowbray replaced Alex Neil at the Stadium of Light just over a year ago and is remarkably one of the longest-serving managers in the Championship. The 59-year-old did an excellent job to get the Black Cats into the play-offs last season. Photo: Frank Reid
