The 20 Premier League bosses gearing up for the 2025-26 campaign

The Premier League returns this weekend with a bang as the clubs get set for what promises to be another exciting campaign from England's top flight. 

Fans in Canada can watch all the action with Fubo Sports on DAZN, as Liverpool, with a plethora of new signings in tow - including record buy Florian Wirtz - get set to defend their Premier League title. With Arsenal and their new frontman Viktor Gyokeres ready to challenge the Reds, alongside a new-look Manchester City. 

On the sidelines, some of the world's most decorated managers are joined by new names and familiar faces in new roles. DAZN News profiles the twenty bosses for the 2025-26 season. 

@Arsenal

Arsenal - Mikel Arteta 

The pressure is on the Gunners boss to deliver this season, having finished runners-up in each of the last three seasons and fans are desperate for some silverware. 

Arsenal haven't lifted a trophy since the FA Cup in 2020, the Spaniard's first season in charge, and after splashing out on some big names this summer, demand will be high on Arteta to finally land a trophy. 

Aston Villa - Unai Emery 

Since replacing Steven Gerrard in 2022, Emery has taken Aston Villa to new heights after leading their charge to the Champions League quarter-finals last season. 

The task now for the Spanish boss is not only to continue that trend, but to try and go up another level. A trophy wouldn't go amiss either, with Villa having not won a major honour since the League Cup in 1996. 

Bournemouth - Andoni Iraola 

The Cherries became everyone's favourite second team last season as the Iraola transformation continued on the South Coast and Bournemouth enjoyed their best-ever top flight campaign. 

Yet, this season could be more of a struggle with the club losing some of its prized assets in defence, meaning a top-half finish could be beyond them.

Brentford - Keith Andrews 

With the Thomas Frank era coming to end, the Bees have gambled by promoting within and given set-piece coach Andrews the top job at Brentford. 

It's a first major coaching role for the former Irish midfielder and he's got some massive shoes to fill following Frank, especially as the club have lost several key players as well. 

Brighton and Hove Albion - Fabian Hurzeler 

The Brighton way continues to flourish on the South Coast, not only with the playing staff but in their choice of managers as well. 

Hurzeler became the Premier League's youngest manager last season, but he proved age is nothing but a number by guiding the Seagulls to a comfortable eighth-place finish. There's no reason why the German boss can't do it again. 

Burnley - Scott Parker 

Scott Parker returns to the Premier League following his third promotion as a manager, this time with Burnley. 

His previous two top flight experiences didn't go to plan for the former England international, but having taken the Clarets up with a pragmatic and record-breaking defensive approach, his team look much better equipped to try to survive this season. 

Chelsea - Enzo Maresca 

The locals were getting restless with Maresca midway through last season, but after securing Champions League football and then delivering two major trophies, the Italian is now a popular man in West London. 

Can he turn those cup wins into the kind of consistency that could see Chelsea make a title challenge? It will be a tough task, but there's no doubt that expectation has risen at Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace - Oliver Glasner 

If there's one man who'll never need to buy a drink again in South London, it's Oliver Glasnar. After leading Crystal Palace to their first-ever major trophy with the FA Cup win over Manchester City in May, the Austrian double-downed on the silverware by nabbing the Community Shield as well. 

Glasnar now gets to lead the Eagles into a European campaign, and a trophy - now they have been confirmed to play in the Europa Conference League - that they'll think they can win. 

Everton - David Moyes 

Feeling like the ultimate comfy chair you wish never let go, David Moyes' return to Everton has been precisely what the club needed. 

Ahead of their first campaign at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, Moyes will be expected to push the Toffees up a level after several years fighting at the wrong end of the table. Can he roll back the years and relive the glory of his first spell in charge of the Merseyside club? 

Fulham - Marco Silva 

Fulham continue to go under the radar, but it's a testament to the excellent job Silva has done at the club since joining them in 2021.

In that time, the Portuguese boss has led the Cottagers back to the Premier League and made them an established top flight club once again. It's no wonder his name keeps getting linked with jobs further up the food chain. 

Leeds United- Daniel Farke 

Daniel Farke will be hoping to find the Premier League a happier place this season following relegation in both his previous top flight campaigns with Norwich City. 

This time around, it's Leeds, having taken them up at the second attempt, his only remit will be to keep them in the division and avoid another drop back into the Championship.

Liverpool - Arne Slot 

Arne Slot's maiden Liverpool campaign couldn't have gone any better as he led the Reds to their second Premier League title, drawing them level with Manchester United in the all-time league record wins. 

Now comes the difficult 'second album' as he looks to try and cling onto their Premier League crown. To aid him, the Merseysiders have splashed out with a series of statement signings, with many predicting the good times are set to keep on rolling at Anfield. 

Manchester City - Pep Guardiola 

Seasons like last campaign don't happen very often to Pep Guardiola, and his revenge tour could be bad news for the title holders and the rest of the chasing pack. 

The last time the Premier League's longest-serving manager went a season without a trophy, he bounced back by leading his team to a 100-point title-winning haul. While that looks unlikely, City regaining their foothold on English football is a distinct possibility. 

Manchester United - Ruben Amorim 

Coming in halfway through last season, Ruben Amorim almost got a pass on last year, despite how bad things got at Old Trafford in 2024-25. 

Now, with a pre-season under his belt and a brand-new attacking front three, pressure will be on the Portuguese to see what he can do to turn the club's fortunes around. Free of the distraction of European football, Amorim must get things right and quickly. 

Newcastle United - Eddie Howe 

After a season when Howe ended Newcastle's 70-year wait for a major trophy and secured Champions League football once again, it's been a frustrating summer for the Magpies' boss.

The Alexander Isak drama has hung over the club, while they've lost out on a series of big-name signings. Howe has shown he can handle setbacks before, and he'll need to get his Newcastle team going once again. 

Nottingham Forest - Nuno Espirito Santo 

Forest were the surprise package of last season as Nuno, in his first full season in charge, led the club from relegation battlers to shock European contenders. 

A Europa League campaign will take its toll on the squad, but a top half finish is well within Forest's grasp as they look to continue to establish themselves as a top flight club.

Sunderland - Regis Le Bris 

Le Bris arrived at the Stadium of Light as a bit of an unknown from Lorient at the start of last season, but managed to lead his young Sunderland side to a play-off win and promotion. 

The Premier League is a different beast, though, and the Black Cats have spent a lot of money in the summer trying to help the Frenchman with the tools to help the club compete at this level. 

Tottenham Hotspur - Thomas Frank 

Having transformed Brentford into a Premier League name, Thomas Frank is the latest name to try and make a success of the Tottenham post. 

He does inherit a club that has finally landed a major trophy after their Europa League win in June, which also secured them Champions League football. But can the Dane apply his methods from West London across the capital? 

West Ham United - Graham Potter 

Potter's return to management halfway through last season didn't quite go to plan, as West Ham struggled to find any form under the former Brighton and Chelsea boss.

Now, with a pre-season under his belt and a full campaign ahead, it's a big season for Potter. A slow start, and the tide could turn very quickly at the London Stadium. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers - Vitor Pereira 

The Portuguese boss who loves a pint, Vitor Pereira, became a big hit with Wolves fans after replacing Gary O'Neil last season. 

On the pitch, he led the club away from the relegation scrap, while off it he endeared himself to fans with a series of post-match sessions in local drinking haunts. They'll be hoping for more of the same in 2025-26.
