Jeff Stelling has (jokingly?) said on Twitter that Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa and Everton manager Rafael Benitez might be worried following the dismissal of Dean Smith from Aston Villa.
Villa have announced this afternoon that they have parted company with Smith.
The Villans have lost their last five Premier League games and are dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Soccer Saturday presenter Stelling has tweeted about Bielsa and Benitez potentially being worried about their jobs at Leeds and Everton respectively.
Leeds are in a relegation battle, while the Toffees are struggling at the moment in their quest to challenge for the Premier League top six.
Unlikely to happen
It is unlikely that Everton will sack Benitez and Leeds will dismiss Bielsa.
After all, former Newcastle United and Liverpool boss Benitez was appointed in his role at Everton only in the summer of 2021.
Bielsa is a Leeds legend, having guided the club from the Championship and then leading them to a top-half finish in the Premier League last season.
However, you just never know in football, do you?
Norwich sacked Daniel Farke last night just hours after a win, and now Villa have parted company with Smith.
In our view, Everton will stick with Benitez and Leeds will keep their faith in Bielsa.
For now.
