Arsene Wenger has now been in charge of Arsenal longer than all of the other managers in England's top flight combined.
Wenger celebrated his 19th anniversary last Thursday, which means he's been in charge of Arsenal for 6942 days.
With Brendan Rodgers' sacking and Dick Advocaat's resignation on Sunday, that means the remaining 17 managers (in their current stints) in the Premier League only have a combined 6938 days.
The second longest serving manager is Mark Hughes at Stoke with a paltry 857 days, while Jose Mourinho has so far chalked by 853 days in his second stint with Chelsea.
