We take a look at where every Premier League manager stands with their deal, with a few well-regarded managers free in 2026.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool have all got new managers now.

Arsenal manager contract: Mikel Arteta – 2027

The Spaniard is set to become the best-paid manager in the Premier League when his new contract is inevitably signed, with the deal said to be worth a basic £20m a year rising to £25m.

Aston Villa manager contract: Unai Emery – 2029

“We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams,” said Unai Emery as he signed a new five-year deal. “I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club.”

Bournemouth manager contract: Marco Rose – 2029

The former RB Leipzig boss will take charge in the summer of 2026 and has been handed an initial three-year contract.

Brentford manager contract: Keith Andrews – 2032

Andrews has signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract. Brentford have been very impressive this season but that still feels… long.

Brighton manager contract: Fabian Hurzeler – 2029

The youngest-ever permanent manager of a Premier League club was initially given a three-year contract by the Seagulls, extended in the summer of 2026 amid interest from Bundesliga clubs.

Chelsea manager contract: Xabi Alonso – 2030

What’s more surprising? That Xabi Alonso took the Chelsea job or that Chelsea learned from their mistake with Liam Rosenior and gave the Spaniard a relatively normal contract.

Coventry City manager contract: Frank Lampard – 2027

He was serenaded with “sign the contract” by Coventry fans at the victory parade for the Sky Blues’ promotion. He did incredibly well in the first 18 months of his 2.5-year contract.

Crystal Palace manager contract: Pierre Sage – 2029

“Oliver Glasner achieved some amazing things, and now I have to do the same,” said former Lens coach Sage, who perfectly illustrates the lure of the Premier League.

Everton manager contract: David Moyes – 2027

Despite initial reports that Moyes would replace Sean Dyche on a short-term six-month contract, he actually signed on for two-and-a-half years.

Fulham manager contract: None

Marco Silva is leaving the club at the end of his contract.

Hull City manager contract: Sergej Jakirović – 2027

The Bosnian was given a two-year deal last year and the club are said to be ‘at ease’ with the situation; it is always wise not to commit to a long contract in the Championship.

Ipswich Town manager contract: Kieran McKenna – 2028

Very wisely negotiated a very lucrative four-year deal the last time Ipswich were promoted to the Premier League.

Leeds United manager contract: Daniel Farke – 2027

It looked for a while as though Farke wouldn’t make 2026, let alone 2027, but the German will lead Leeds into another season in the Premier League. And surely deserves a new deal.

Liverpool manager contract: Andoni Iraola – 2028

Perhaps sensibly on the part of both, manager and club have opted for a relatively short contract.

Manchester City manager contract: Enzo Maresca – 2029

The new three-year deal for Maresca takes him right up to the scheduled end of his old contract with Chelsea. Man City have had to pay £17m compensation to the Blues for their former boss.

Manchester United manager contract: Michael Carrick – 2028

A two-year permanent deal was signing after a very successful interim appointment.

Newcastle United manager contract: Eddie Howe – long-term beyond 2024

Wor Eddie was given a two-and-a-half-year contract until 2024 when he was appointed in November 2021. Those terms were renegotiated in 2022 but neither the club nor Howe have been willing to elaborate on the length. “It’s a ‘long-term’ deal – that was the wording, I think,” said Howe when asked directly.
