As the club football enters the final international break of the year, several Premier League managers are feeling the heat as their teams falter below expectations. With the season nearing its halfway mark, growing concerns from club owners and fans over league positions, lackluster performances, and looming relegation threats are intensifying.
This season. Eric Ten Hag was the first manager to be sacked after an underwhelming start to the season and now attention shifts to who may join the Dutchman in the near future. Here are three managers whose jobs may be at risk if their teams don’t improve swiftly.
Gary O’Neil – Wolves
After a woeful start to the season, Wolves’ manager finally got the crucial victory he needed on Saturday, defeating Southampton at Molineux. Another loss against a fellow relegation contender might have spelled the end for O’Neil, whose leeway with the club has been dwindling following a disappointing streak of results.
The victory moved Wolves off the foot of the table, though they remain in the relegation zone. With no international break until March, the club’s leadership knows this stretch could be crucial if they hope to salvage their season.
Russell Martin – Southampton
