There can be no finer demonstration of the fickleness in English football than Arteta looking nailed on for the sack just a few weeks ago, only for three consecutive wins to paper over the cracks.Īt the end of the day, all isn't well at the Emirates Stadium, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Arteta suffer the same fate as Unai Emery, but we can personally see him crawling into 2022 in charge. However, as the Irish Guy points out, if Monaco are impatient enough to sack Leonardo Jardim twice since 2018, then Kovac could be in serious bother if the wins eventually dry up in 2021. this seems unlikely right now with Kovac having done a solid job in the principality state, securing a historic 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain and steadying the ship in sixth place. With the two-time European champions collecting dust in 19th place barely six months on from competing for promotion, it seems inevitable that Hughton will be dismissed before 2022 rolls around. They're cut from the same cloth as Watford when it comes to sharpening their axe every 10 seconds, flitting through 26 coaches since 2004, so things aren't looking good for Hughton. August - Chris Hughton (Nottingham Forest)Īh, Forest. How do you even argue with this? Watford sack managers like they're going out of fashion and there's good reason to think Munoz will get whacked with a P45 regardless of whether he secures promotion or not. Such is the bond between Wilder and the Blades that it wouldn't be surprising to see them stick together no matter what happens this season.īut even the most die-hard Wilder fan would admit that a summer shake-up would be on the cards when the Blades inevitably crash down to the Championship with a historically-poor points tally.
June - Chris Wilder (Sheffield United)Ĭredit to you, Irish Guy, because this seems absolutely spot on. To be fair, if it does happen, we agree with the Irish Guy that it would transpire later in the year there's just something telling us that Koeman will turn things around enough to save his bacon. Sure, Barca are getting more and more impatient with their managers these days, but I wouldn't be so sure that Koeman's head will roll quite so easily as the club slowly but surely regain their form. Schalke are pressing every panic button under the sun as they plummet towards their first relegation in the 1980s just two years after playing in the Champions League.Īnd considering Gross hasn't managed in Europe since 2012, plenty of eyebrows were raised when he was unveiled at David Wagner's replacement, so don't be surprised if he bites the bullet too. Since their head-scratching 4-1 win over Real Madrid, which featured a hat-trick of penalties, Valencia haven't won a single game in La Liga, so something's got to give if they want to survive. It's no secret that Valencia have a knack for going through managers like dirty laundry at times and with the legendary Spanish club languishing in 17th place, Gracia's death knell will be ringing soon. Then again, there's good reason to think that Pirlo - who, for our money, shouldn't have been appointed in the first place - will be sacked at some point in 2021 as Juventus' Serie A dominance looks set to end. Hmm, February seems a little harsh by our estimations after Juventus secured a potentially season-defining win over table-toppers AC Milan this week, but all isn't well at the Allianz Stadium. Lennon's job seems to be hanging by a thread as the Glaswegians find themselves almost 20 points behind Rangers having lost both Old Firm derbies and been dumped out of the Europa League.
Yup, it seems inevitable that Celtic's domestic dominance since 2012 will come crashing down this season and it wouldn't be a surprise to see their manager bear the brunt of their downturn.
