Steve Cotterill

Steve Cotterill built his managerial reputation at Cheltenham Town guiding the club from the Southern League into the Conference and then the Football league proper. His best period when it came to games won was at cash-strapped Notts County where he took over in February 2010 and saw the club crowned Champions in April 2010. In total Cotterill has managed 8 clubs including Shrewsbury.  

Danny Cowley

After impressing Lincoln City where his side won the National League, League 2 and the EFL Trophy in three seasons Cowley has not faired as well in his subsequent roles at Huddersfield and  Portsmouth. 

He has only been out of day-to-day management of a club since the end of January 2023. 

Lee Bowyer

Spent three years at Charlton the club he had starred for as a player and under his tenure secured promotion to the Championship in 2019. Unfortunately, the club only lasted one season in the higher tier and they were relegated back down to League One. Bowyer left the club in March 2021. 

He moved to Birmingham City but the results were poor and with the club seemingly going nowhere and with no definable style he was sacked in July 2022. 

Grant McCann

The Northern Irishman is synonymous with Peterborough United where he has spent nearly 10 years as a player and a manager. 

Posh was his last appointment and despite the team sitting in eighth position in League 1, he was sacked in January 2023. 

Dean Smith 

The former Aston Villa and Norwich City boss had been talked about as a future England manager but since being sacked by those two clubs his star has fallen.

He was given plenty of time to produce teams that could compete for honours but fell short, especially at Norwich where EPL expectations were very high. 

Many may forget that Martin O'Neil managed the club between 1990 and 1995 and put Wycombe Wanderers on the map.  He moved Wycombe from the Conference into the Football League. In his first season in the higher tier Wycombe was promoted into League 2 via the playoffs. his win percentage of games is the highest of any Wycombe permanent boss. 

In 2012 after being a player at the club Gareth Ainsworth was appointed, he secured promotion to the Championship in 2020, the first time the club had played at this level. Unfortunately, they found the higher tier very tough and were relegated straight back down. 

Having played for a string of clubs Gareth Ainsworth started his coaching career at Queens Park Rangers under Ian Dowie and Paulo Souza, he twice took the reigns as Caretaker manager at the West London club when those managers were dismissed. He took over at Wycombe, and he was again in a caretaker role after Gary Waddock left Wanderers. He was appointed permanently to the manager's job in November 2012. His style of football involves pressing the opposition aggressively and winning the ball back quickly.
