All 18 teams except Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and Everton manager Sean Dyche have given the baton to a foreign leader.
Former Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill, former acting Southampton manager Simon Rusk and former acting Leicester City manager Ben Dawson stepped down one after another, leaving only the smallest number since the launch of the EPL.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is broadly a British coach, but he is exactly from Northern Ireland.
Everton are in 15th place and Ipswich are in 19th place, which is in the relegation zone, so there is a possibility that all England coaches will disappear during the 2024-2025 season.
At the opening of this season, there are a total of five England coaches, the lowest number in the 22-year history of the EPL. It exceeded the record of six players in the 2011-2012 season, the 2012-2013 season, and the 2023-2024 season.
Foreign leaders accounted for 81% of the league as a whole, gradually increasing from 54% in the 2020-2021 season to 66% in the 2021-2022 season and 75% in the 2023-2024 season.

At the same time, Italy's Serie A had 16 national leaders, Spain's Primera Liga had 14, and Germany's Bundesliga and France's Ligue 1 had nine each. It is a phenomenon that only occurs in EPL. Why is that?
Former Charlton coach Michael Appleton told British public broadcaster BBC"The Premier League is the toughest league in the world" and `Many British leaders tend to promote their championship teams to the EPL. Even if you get promoted, unless you get huge financial support, you have to fight for staying"For practical reasons, it was analyzed that English people were not receiving opportunities in the EPL."
"In the EFL (English professional league, 2nd to 4th divisions), they are not recognized as much as they have done in low leagues such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium. "

Looking at the number of foreign owners, it is not surprising that there are many foreign leaders, he added. EPL also has only 33 percent of its players. It is the smallest percentage in the five major leagues (60% for Lariga)
The lack of leadership of English-born leaders is also cited as the cause. Surprisingly, the leader from Ingland who still led the league to victory since the launch of the EPL is 'Zero'. Frank Lampard is the manager who has led the most European Champions League among England players, with only 16 games. Lampard currently leads England's second division Coventry City.
Among the leaders from England, Liam Rosenier of Strasbourg and Will Steele of Lance have established themselves in the top leagues abroad. In October, England appointed former Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel to replace former England coach Gareth Southgate. Perhaps the failure to produce the best leader led to England's 58-year reign in major tournaments?
