Five English clubs sacked a manager soon after winning the league. We looked at the modern era for clubs that did this within about a year of the title. They did not end the same way. Two clubs won the trophy again almost at once, and one fell into mid-table for a decade. What mattered was not the sacking but what the club did in the summer after.
