The 2010-11 Premier League season has finished, as you probably know. The 2011-12 season will begin in late August, I think, but some teams will be back in action as soon as June 30th. Those teams include Fulham, who have qualified for Europa League qualifiers through fair play over the 2010-11 season.
As happens every season, some managers have been sacked, and others have quit their jobs. Fulham manager Mark Hughes resigned last week, and Fulham announced just a few days later that they had hired Martin Jol, a former Spurs and Ajax manager, to take over. Aston Villa's Gerard Houllier, who was hospitalized for heart problems during the season, left his post, and Aston Villa are still looking for a replacement. Wigan's Roberto Martinez was invited to take over the job, but he chose to remain with Wigan. The biggest vacancy is at Chelsea, where Carlo Ancelotti was fired after coming second in the league and being knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Oh, this makes me surprised. I didn't know such things happened.
