Premier League managers who could be sacked during the international break

Premier League managers who could be sacked during the international break The first international break of the season is upon us , as players head off around the globe to represent their national teams. Premier League action will not resume until October 10th. Not all top-flight managers will be able to rest and relax during this period because of the fear of an early sacking. Below we have listed a few names who could be dismissed before club football returns next month. Roberto De Zerbi It would not be a surprise if De Zerbi’s reign ends during the international break. Tottenham Hotspur sit bottom of the Premier League table after losing three and drawing two of their opening five fixtures. The Lilywhites were supposed to be competing at the top end of the league after spending over £300 million to bring Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Savio and Jan Paul van Hecke. The only thing keeping De Zerbi in the role might be the funds it would take to terminate the five-year contract he signed in April. Michael Carrick Carrick oversaw a huge improvement at Manchester United after taking over as interim head coach in January. But results have been disastrous since he was handed the permanent role. United are in the bottom half of the league table after collecting just five points from five matches, including defeats to Hull City and Manchester City. The club’s hierarchy continue to back the English boss , but they will be forced to make a brutal decision if results do not change soon. Alvaro Arbeloa Fulham began the new season with three league defeats on the trot. Things have improved since, as the West Londoners held Liverpool and Manchester United to draws. Arbeloa signed three of his favourites from Castilla in the summer transfer window , and that has seemingly not gone down well with the Fulham dressing room. If the speculation of division within the team is true, then a few more bad results could prove to be decisive for the Spaniard’s future at the club. Frank Lampard Lampard led Coventry City to the Championship title, steering them back to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years. But life back in the top-flight has not been smooth sailing for the Sky Blues. Despite their victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend, Coventry are inside the relegation zone after losing four of their opening five fixtures. Lampard has plenty of goodwill among the supporters, but things can change quickly if results do not improve.
