Description of issue
In the save file I've uploaded, I've holidayed until the start of the 2028/2029 season. In the 'New Managers' section of the Premier League season preview, Unai Emery is still displayed as a 'New Manager', even though he has been Aston Villa manager since 2022. Also, if I click on Aston Villa's entry in the season preview, Emery's Manager Tenure time is blank, instead of showing how many years and days he has been in charge.
This seems to be an issue that specifically affects any manager whose 'Date Joined' is just a year (e.g. 2022) rather than a specific date (e.g. 1/7/2022). This is usually the case with any manager who was appointed during the real-life season. These managers will always be listed as a 'new manager' on the season preview until they leave their current job.
Bochum's Thomas Letsch is another manager affected by this bug. He joined Bochum from Vitesse in September 2022, so his 'Date Joined' is set to 2022 - and as he is still in charge in 2028, he is still listed as a 'new manager' nearly six years after his appointment.
On my FM22 save, Frank Lampard was still shown as a 'new manager' at Everton in 2026, despite having been in the job since 2021. The same thing happened with Steven Gerrard until he was sacked by Aston Villa during the 5th season.
