West Ham United, Sheffield Wednesday and Arsenal are just three clubs who might have new managers next season.
With the English football season reaching its climax there are plenty of managers feeling the pressure to deliver results.
With that in mind, here’s a look at six gaffers in the Premier League and Championship who could find themselves out of a job at the end of the season.
David Moyes
It’s hard to believe David Moyes was once chosen to succeed Alex Ferguson at Manchester United
Telling a female reporter she “might get a slap, as reported by BBC Sport” hasn’t lead to Moyes being sacked, but results probably will.
His Sunderland side have been woeful this season and sit bottom of the Premier League, 10 points off safety.
It’s hard to see them staying up and, once they go down, it’s hard to see Moyes keeping his job.
Walter Mazzarri
Walter Mazzarri could become the eighth Watford manager to be replaced by the Pozzo family since they bought the club
The Telegraph has reported that Watford’s owners are unimpressed with the brand of football Mazzarri plays as well as his poor English.
Given he’s not developed on what Quique Sanchez Flores delivered last season before being let go, Mazzarri’s seat looks rather hot indeed.
Carlos Carvalhal
It’s been a tough season for Sheffield Wednesday
Carvalhal and Sheffield Wednesday came so close to promotion last season and, like many others before them, have struggled to rebound from that disappointment.
Should they miss out on the play-offs, which they are currently in by just two points, he could be in trouble.
Slaven Bilic
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has had few reasons to celebrate recently
The Croatian has been under pressure for much of the season and a current run of five defeats in a row, which leaves the Hammers set to finish with fewer points than they did in their last season under Sam Allardyce, certainly isn’t helping.
How much West Ham’s owners blame Dimitri Payet and their new stadium for their struggles this campaign will likely determine Bilic’s future.
Gianfranco Zola
The bad atmosphere that surrounded Gianfranco Zola’s appointment has never dissipated
Birmingham’s new owners showed that they weren’t afraid to sack managers when they did just that to the successful Gary Rowett, enabling them to bring in Zola.
But since the Italian’s arrival the club has gone from the cusp of the play-offs to now being just six points clear of the relegation zone. Not good.
Arsene Wenger
While Wenger won’t actually be sacked, he could leave Arsenal at the end of the season and that would make a decent proportion of the club’s fans happy.
They feel their side’s recent inability to win the Premier League or get past the last 16 of the Champions League is down to his management and that somebody else would get more out of the current squad.
However, whether or not he stays is set to be Wenger’s decision so if you’re in the Wenger Out club don’t get your hopes up.
