Championship clubs are preparing for the 2023/24 season, with all 24 managers and head coaches now in place.
Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray is preparing for his first full campaign in charge on Wearside, after taking over at the Stadium of Light in August last year.
There have been several managerial changes in the second tier since then, with some clubs going through three bosses last term.
We’ve taken a look at the longest-serving managers and head coaches in the Championship:

19. (6th) Kieran McKenna (Ipswich) - 1 year and 7 months
