Why is the manager transfer market so weird right now?

Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

This season we’ve seen a historic low of managers being sacked from the Premier League and also Bayern Munich’s extraordinary (and still ongoing) manager search. Why aren’t managers being fired mid-season anymore? And why is it so hard to find a manager for an elite club?

Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor to find out why the manager transfer market is so weird right now.

This is The Athletic's Week in Football.
