The Premier League maintain their average of eight managerial casualties per season after Everton part ways with Roberto Martinez after three years in charge of the Merseyside club.

In October 2015, Liverpool sacked Brendan Rodgers after he became the first Liverpool manager in over 60 years to fail to win a trophy in his first three years in charge at the club.

It was the first Premier League managerial sacking of the season, and the second casualty after Dick Advocaat resigned from his position at Sunderland after a woeful start.

Writing back then, I said to expect a total of eight Premier League managers to blow away like confetti at a wedding. With one game to go, I am spot on after Everton sacked Roberto Martinez ahead of their home game with Norwich.
