Top Premier League managers who could be sacked this summer

Manchester United sacked Ruben Amorim as manager just three months after co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he would be given three years to prove himself at Old Trafford. 

Chelsea also parted ways with Enzo Maresca following a breakdown in relations with the club’s board. 

Three months later, the Blues sacked Liam Rosenior. 

Several clubs are currently enduring difficult periods, and more Premier League sackings are expected at the end of this season. 

Here are some of the managers who could be dismissed. 

Arne Slot 

Slot is facing intense scrutiny after failing to deliver results despite the significant £450 million summer outlay. 

Things came to a head at Anfield last Saturday when the Dutchman was booed by sections of the fanbase for bringing off youngster Rio Ngumoha in the second half. 

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group reportedly have no intention to part with Slot, who won the Premier League title in his first season. 

However, it is unclear whether they will continue their backing as he has the faith of his supporters. 

Eddie Howe

Howe is one of the most successful managers in Newcastle United’s history. 

He has twice led the club to Champions League qualification and ended their 70-year domestic trophy drought by winning the League Cup last year. 

However, the Magpies are languishing in 13th place with two games remaining. 

The club’s hierarchy has backed Howe, but they could change their stance this summer. 

Nuno Espirito Santo

Nuno took over from Graham Potter as West Ham United manager in September, but he has been unable to guide them away from the relegation zone.

The Hammers are two points behind 17th-placed Tottenham Hotspur heading into their final two games. 

The former Nottingham Forest boss could be out of a job again by the end of the season. 

A clause in Nuno’s contract means West Ham can sack the 52-year-old without compensation if they are relegated. 

Regis Le Bris 

Le Bris has worked wonders at Sunderland since being appointed in 2024. 

He led the Black Cats to the Premier League in his first season, and the team have exceeded expectations this term. 

However, journalist Alex Crook has claimed that Sunderland’s ambitious owners haven’t ruled out looking at possible replacements for Le Bris if they miss out on Europe.
