Does anyone know if managers in Spain have release clauses like players?

“Steve McLaren has been in a Europa Final, as has Roy Hodgson, it’s a terrible competition.”
TBH Perhaps they are right, I don’t see the Papa John’s Paper Plate on Emery’s CV ?

My big concern watching that is the reliance on fast centrebacks, its something which was obvious and not addressed in the summer.
