There were 14 changes to FTSE 100 chief executive officers (CEOs) in 2024, and 22 chief financial officers (CFOs) were also moved out of their roles, while 50 football managers in UK football leagues were displaced in the past year, all replaced by men.

A difference in the roles of a top executive at a FTSE 100 firm and a football manager is that there are no female football managers. Although still heavily outnumbered by male CEOs and CFOs there has been a few steps in the right direction.
