Stoke City chairman Peter Coates says that managers are facing shorter stints in charge of Premier League clubs.

Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has said that Premier League managers must be given a chance to prove themselves at a club.

The Potters recently replaced manager Tony Pulis, who had been in charge at the Britannia Stadium for seven years.

Coates told Sky Sports News: "We've had seven years with Tony which is quite a long time in modern football. The game is changing and there is a tendency for managers to be at clubs for shorter periods.

"There will be no more Alex Ferguson and even David Moyes with his long period at Everton. But, I believe that you have to give managers a chance. It's a tough job but they get well paid. That goes with the job."

Earlier this week, Stoke announced that Mark Hughes will be the club's new manager.
