Peterborough United appointed Darren Ferguson as their manager for a fourth time on January 4, 2023.

He’s therefore been in post for 1 year and 316 days so where does that place him in a list of the longest-serving managers?

The answer might surprise you. Four clubs (Blackpool, Crawley, Burton and Shrewsbury) have changed manager this season.

Appointed September 23, 2024. In post 73 days.
