Previously, Manchester United officially announced the dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag, making him the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season. Following this, British media outlet The Mirror published an article listing other Premier League managers who are currently under threat of being sacked.
Gary O’Neil (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Wolverhampton Wanderers is one of the three teams in the Premier League this season that have yet to secure a win. Under the leadership of head coach Gary O’Neil, the team is far from its ideal form, although they have shown some competitiveness against strong teams like Manchester City.
However, the minimum goal for Wolverhampton is to achieve relegation safety this season. They will face a series of mid-to-lower table teams, and the team will strive to secure their first victory of the season. If their performance does not improve, the likelihood of O’Neil being sacked will undoubtedly increase.
Russell Martin (Southampton)
In comparison, Southampton, led by Russell Martin, is struggling even more in the Premier League. This season, they have only managed to secure one point from Ipswich Town, another promoted team, while losing all eight other matches. They will face relegation rivals Everton and Wolverhampton in upcoming matches. If they fail to secure a win in these games, Martin’s position could become precarious.
Gregor Gross (Crystal Palace)
Last season, Crystal Palace, under the guidance of new manager Gregor Gross, produced some impressive results. However, this season has been a major disappointment, with the team currently sitting at 1-3-5, just two points above the relegation zone, and their European qualification goals seem increasingly distant.
The departure of key winger Olise has had an impact on the team, but the core squad remains intact. Recently, Crystal Palace has shown improvement, defeating Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa consecutively. As long as they perform well against teams like Wolverhampton and Fulham, Gross’s position should be relatively secure.
Julen Lopetegui (West Ham United)
Julen Lopetegui was appointed as West Ham United’s manager this summer, but his tenure has been disappointing. Last season, West Ham finished ninth under David Moyes, but with the arrival of a new coach, the team has dropped to 13th place in the Premier League. Despite signing nearly ten new players, including Felix Krug, Summerville, Todibo, and Wan-Bissaka during the summer transfer window, their performance has been unacceptable.
