Premier League: The season which had a bit of everything - including 39 managers
The Premier League season came to an end on Sunday, with Everton staying up at the expense of Leicester and Leeds.
Including caretakers and interims, several of whom were chopped and changed, 39 people took charge of at least one Premier League game this season. Since Todd Boehly took over as owner at the end of last season, they have spent £583m on players and had four different managers this season. Tuchel, meanwhile, ended the season winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich. And Pochettino is now on his way to Stamford Bridge.
This is how the table looked at the end of March - with everyone below 11th-placed Aston Villa worrying about relegationOn 31 March, the bottom nine clubs were separated by just four points with 10 or 11 games to go. Crystal Palace, in 12th, had 27 points. Southampton, who were bottom, had 23. On one Saturday in February, it said sorry to Brighton and Arsenal for separate games. In one, the VAR did not draw the offside lines; in the other they drew them from the same player.
Some teams gave players who were not going to the World Cup anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks off, while other teams flew to the other side of the world. For much of the season, it looked as though Arsenal were going to win their first title since the 'Invincibles' of 2003-04.
