THE managerial churn in the EFL has been brought into sharp focus again by Port Vale’s Darrell Clarke and Walsall’s Michael Flynn being axed in the past seven days – meaning half the clubs have changed bosses this season.
While some of the departures at the 36 clubs were managers resigning to go elsewhere, the vast majority have been sackings – and some outfits, including Watford and Cardiff, are on to their third managers of the campaign.
On Monday, the curtain came down on ex-Walsall boss Clarke’s reign at Vale. The 45-year-old led them to promotion from League Two via the playoffs last term, but a run of two wins in 18 games meant they felt it was time for a change.
Assistant Andy Crosby has been named as Clarke’s interim replacement until the end of the season. He took charge for the 2-1 midweek defeat at Ipswich, a result which left Port Vale six points above the drop zone in 18th.
