sport news With eight managers sacked in the first 11 games - this is the most brutal ... trends now

The Championship continued to prove itself as one of the most turbulent and unpredictable football leagues in the world, as the managerial merry-go-round got into full swing this week.

Chris Wilder's departure from Middlesbrough saw the tally for managerial dismissals rise to eight for the season with only 11 league games played so far - a record for at this stage of the campaign.

Though the Championship is known for its ruthless and volatile nature, Sportsmail takes a look at why this season in particular is causing so much drama in the dugout.

Chris Wilder became the eighth manager to be sacked in the Championship this season

Boro find themselves in the Championship relegation zone after a string of poor results

CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGERIAL OUTGOINGS 2022-23

August 25th - Stoke part ways with coach Michael O'Neill.

August 27th - Alex Neil leaves Sunderland to take charge of Stoke.

September 14th - Danny Schofield sacked by Huddersfield after 69 days in charge.

September 18th - Cardiff axe Steve Morison with Bluebirds sat in 18th.

September 22nd - Rotherham's Paul Warne leaves to join League One side Derby County.

September 26th - Watford sack Rob Edwards.

September 30th - Hull dismiss Shota Arveladze after four defeats on the bounce.

October 3rd - Middlesbrough part ways with Chris Wilder.

On Monday, Wilder became the eighth man to face the chop in the league - having spent 11 months in the Riverside dugout.

It wasn't a decision that came out of the blue, with Boro sat in the relegation zone after just two league wins from their opening 11 games.

Having impressed supporters last season with a brand of exciting football that took his team in to the play-offs, Wilder was expected to build on that this time round.

However, as many Championship managers have learned, the league has a particularly unforgiving nature.

In the end, Wilder was unable to turn his, and the club's, fortunes around and joined a long list of axed Championship bosses for the 2022-23 campaign.

That list began in August, when Stoke called an end to Michael O'Neill's three-year tenure at the club - having won one game from their opening five.

The ripple effect was felt across the league as, two days later, the Potters lured Sunderland's Alex Neil to the club - who was later replaced at the Stadium of Light by Tony Mowbray.

Then came September, where a number of bosses departed. Danny Schofield left Huddersfield, Cardiff sacked Steve Morison, while Rotherham's Paul Warne left to take charge of League One side Derby County.

And last week, Watford's Rob Edwards and Hull's Shota Arveladze were both dismissed for a slow start in their opening 10 games.

It feels as though, in the current Championship climate, nobody is safe from the sack
