We\u2019re now moving into the latter stages of the 2025\/26 Premier League season. Manager sackings at this point in the season are rare \u2013 but certainly not without precedent.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, in the 2022\/23 campaign, we saw four sackings in the final three months of the season \u2013 could we see something similar in the current Premier League year?<\/p>\n Today, we\u2019ve put together a list of managers who could be next on the chopping block. All odds for this list have been taken from BetVictor (via Oddschecker).<\/p>\n This may suprise you, but Pep Guardiola is the fifth-most likely manager to receive his marching orders in the Premier League at the moment \u2013 at least, according to the bookmakers\u2019 odds.<\/p>\n In truth, this has been a disappointing campaign for Manchester City and the previous season wasn\u2019t much better. It could be time for them to close the door on Guardiola\u2019s immensely successful period at the Etihad Stadium, though a domestic trophy (or two) would probably ensure his safety.<\/p>\n Guardiola\u2019s success at Manchester City cannot be overstated \u2013 he has transformed them into one of the driving forces in world football. However, contemporary results have been poor \u2013 and there is no time for sentimentality in the modern game. <\/p>\n Following a bright start to life at Chelsea, the Blues have hit a bit of a slump under the stewardship of Liam Rosenior. <\/p>\n Chelsea have won just two of their last six Premier League games \u2013 on top of this, they were unceremoniously dumped out of the Champions League by PSG, losing by a wide scoreline of 8-2 on aggregate. <\/p>\n The Blues have never been a lenient club in this regard. If Rosenior continues to underperform, he will be sacked \u2013 and he knows it. As things stand, Rosenior is 5\/1 to be the next Premier League manager to be removed from his post.<\/p>\n Plenty of things have gone wrong for Liverpool this season, but Arne Slot hasn\u2019t helped matters with his eclectic team selections and uninspiring tactical approach.<\/p>\n In 2024\/25, pundits could not praise Slot enough \u2013 now, they have largely turned their backs on him. It\u2019s easy to see why \u2013 Liverpool have noticeably declined since last season, despite having spent well over \u00a3400 million in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n Many Liverpool fans have begun to call for Slot\u2019s head. He will probably see out the rest of the campaign, but he will be in real trouble if results do not improve by the start of next season.<\/p>\n Burnley have looked like a doomed outfit almost from the get-go. They picked up some positive results at the beginning of the season, but soon found themselves mired in the relegation zone, which is where they have been ever since. <\/p>\n Parker\u2019s defence-first strategy has not worked out in the Premier League like it did in the Championship last season. If anything, it has had the adverse effect \u2013 Burnley have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n Like Slot, Parker is 3\/1 to be the next Premier League manager on the chopping block. Despite this, we think it makes more sense to keep him \u2013 with relegation abound, Parker could always guide them to promotion at the first time of asking. <\/p>\n Glasner is unlikely to be sacked at this stage of the season \u2013 however, he has stated that he will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the campaign. <\/p>\n As such, Glasner is the de facto \u2018no manager to leave their post\u2019 option. Palace\u2019s results have picked up recently \u2013 after a massive dip in form, the Eagles have now lost just two of their last six Premier League games. <\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear where Glasner will end up. Some believe he is destined for the Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United post \u2013 only time will tell.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re now moving into the latter stages of the 2025\/26 Premier League season.
