Ever wondered what actually goes on in a manager's interview? BBC Sport takes a look inside the boardroom...
"We see that you've had nine jobs in the past five years. Can you tell us why you left your last position?"
One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of job adverts going up. In the 79 days of 2019 so far, 13 managers have left their positions in the top four flights of English football - one every six days on average. "If you have a striker who is scoring lots of goals, you should always be preparing for the day when he moves on. You have five or six players who you are scouting so that if you sell your number nine, you already know who you would like to bring in. It's the same for managers. It should be anyway.
The names on a shortlist may also depend on the club's situation. Do they need a quick fix, someone to come in and keep a club up in the last 10 games?Nick Thompson was chief executive at Hull City and says there is one question clubs must answer before beginning the process of recruiting a manager. Another factor to consider for a former player heading into the world of management is that there is a strong chance this will be their first job interview - of any sort.
First, he had to describe how he would sell a move to the club in question to a potential new signing. Every manager is expected to give a detailed presentation during an interview on what they would change and how they want the team to play. It is not enough to offer vague ideas or promises, they need to be able to back it up.the Championship side had played the previous season when he spoke to the club about taking the job, while Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers had spent his whole career prior to his first job at Watford preparing for the moment he became manager.
"I have come away from a chat with someone who I was really excited to meet and was very disappointed. Underwhelmed."
