Rain of layoffs in the Premier

Rain of dismissals in the Premier League. The last one was the Aston Villa coach, Dean Smith, after losing their fifth consecutive game to Southampton (1-0) and reaching 15th position in the table.

The English coach becomes the fifth coach to lose his position so far this season, joining Nuno Espírito Santo (Tottenham), Xisco (Watford), Daniel Farke (Norwich City) and Steve Bruce (Newcaslte).

After three months of competition, more coaches have been dismissed than the previous season. Last year there were four: Frank Lampard, José Mourinho, Slaven Bilic and Chris Wilder.
