Premier League history was made before a ball was even kicked this season as a record nine clubs started the campaign with new managers. The post-Oliver Glasner era has begun at Crystal Palace under Pierre Sage, who led Ligue 1 side Lens to their first French Cup last season before agreeing to take over at Selhurst Park.
