- Sacking a manager is often the first option if a club needs urgent change.
- In the 2023-2024 season, there are as many as 16 coaches in the Premier League who are not completing their contracts.
- The following 6 coaches are likely to be fired next seaso
Going back to the 2023-2024 season, a total of 16 managers in the English Premier League have announced their resignations and been fired from their positions. It is clear that modern club owners tend to have little patience for failure. Of course, this year there will be many more coaches who will not complete their contracts and will have to leave the ทางเข้า ufabet team during the season.
Today, before the 2024-2025 season begins. We’re going to take a look at the six most likely trainers to be fired before anyone else.
6. Arner Slot
The 45-year-old Dutchman has the toughest job in the world to take over at Liverpool from one of the club’s greatest managers in history, Jurgen Klopp, and the pressure is certainly huge.
However, it has taken Klopp years to rebuild Liverpool and bring the Reds back to the top of Europe, and Slot deserves time to do his job, but it all depends on where he takes the team from the start. If Slot
cannot make Liverpool 2.0, which is already strong all over the board, perform well. It will not be surprising to see the name Xabi Alonso, the former midfielder for the Reds, who is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen, being mentioned again.
5. Eddie Howe
Newcastle are determined to keep Howe after being tipped to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager, with the Magpies’ board having to issue a statement saying they have a long-term plan. However, Howe’s
performance was disappointing last season, with the team finishing seventh and missing out on this year’s UEFA Champions League, despite the board spending big on signing players such as Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento. The lack of European football next year has given Newcastle a
physical advantage over many other teams, but if their performances do not improve, Howe’s name may soon become a thing of the past.
4. Enzo Maresca
Maresca has the most hectic job of all, replacing Mauricio Pochettino after just one season in charge at Stamford Bridge and it goes without saying that working under owner Todd Boehly has been tough. Maresca was hailed as the next big manager after guiding Leicester
to Championship glory last season but, given Boehly’s successes with the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Pochettino, the Italian must know his place. Maresca has a hot potato on his hands and perhaps his first
10 games will tell whether he stays at Chelsea.
3. Nuno Espirito Santo
Two victories from the last three games of last season allowed Forest under Santo to survive without much pressure. However, when looking at the overall performance since the Portuguese coach took over the team in December 2023, the “Forest King” has not been consistent at all.
Santo has not been able to give Forest a clear playing style. The attacking game is ineffective. The defense game concedes goals easily. It is not surprising that the fans do not want him to be in the position anymore next season.
2. Steve Cooper
Cooper was unemployed after parting ways with Forest in December last year before being appointed as Leicester manager to replace Maresca. His performance with the “Foresters” by helping the team avoid relegation for 2 years was commendable. However, Leicester fans were not very enthusiastic about Cooper’s
arrival because they wanted a manager who played more offensive games and made the team more fun. Potter was the first choice, but negotiations did not go smoothly in the end.
Cooper will have some time to prove himself to the Leicester fans. If his performance is not good or he cannot win their hearts, he may end up unemployed again.
1. Erik ten Hag
Ten Hag has had a difficult season throughout the past season, with the new owners, INEOS Group, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, constantly looking for a new manager. But after leading Manchester United to win the FA Cup, he was trusted to stay on.
It has been a worrying season for Manchester United and Ten Hag because if we consider the overall performance over the past two seasons, the “Red Devils” have no clear direction, and the tactics are still confusing, including many problems in the team. Ten Hag
has to fix problems all the time. And if the results in the new season still do not look good or lose many games in a row, Ratcliffe will be ready to cut the chair.
