The Premier League managers who could lose their jobs at the end of the season

As the 2023-24 Premier League season speeds towards an exhilarating finale, the hotly-contested title chase and nail-biting relegation battle are keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

However, a noteworthy aspect of this season is the noticeable slowdown in the usually manic managerial merry-go-round.

In all, Julen Lopetegui left Wolves before the start of the season, Paul Heckingbottom and Steve Cooper were both sacked by Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest in December and, most recently, Roy Hodgson stepped down at Crystal Palace.

With only those few changes, it seems Premier League clubs have opted for more stability at the helm this campaign.

Despite this, the end of the season could still spell doom for certain managers, depending on how their teams fare in the betting on English Premier League in these final weeks.

Erik ten Hag – Manchester United

Erik ten Hag appeared to be the messiah Manchester United badly needed after securing the League Cup and finishing third in the league last season.

Unfortunately, this season has been a different story for the Dutchman.

Struggles on the pitch have left the Red Devils out of contention for a Champions League spot, and they are even at risk of missing out on European competition entirely.

The upcoming FA Cup final against their cross-city rivals Manchester City presents a critical moment for Ten Hag.

A victory could secure his position, but failure might prompt the club's hierarchy to consider alternatives like Thomas Tuchel or Zinedine Zidane.

David Moyes – West Ham United

David Moyes finds himself in a precarious position as his contract at the London Stadium is due to expire at the season’s end.

Despite leading West Ham to a historical UEFA Conference League win last year and achieving their highest-ever points total when placing sixth in the 2020-21 season, this season's performance hasn’t inspired confidence and the Hammers fans are finally losing patience with the Scotsman.

Currently positioned eighth, it seems Moyes' tenure in East London could end, especially with rumours linking Lopetegui and Liverpool target Ruben Amorim to his job.

Vincent Kompany – Burnley

Vincent Kompany would be a harsh victim of the managerial axe, considering his previous success in his first season in charge of Burnley.

After leading the Clarets to the Championship title with an attractive style of football last season and losing just three times all season, expectations were high.

Yet, their current 19th-place standing and favouritism for the drop in the odds on Premier League relegation paints a grim picture at Turf Moor.

Although Kompany has demonstrated his capabilities, especially in the Championship, the harsh realities of football management could see Burnley looking for new leadership if they deem change necessary to rejuvenate their Premier League hopes.

As the season winds down, the futures of these managers hang in the balance.

Their clubs' final standings and the outcomes of crucial matches will likely determine whether they can hold onto their positions or if the end-of-season reviews will lead to new faces in the dugout.

In the cutthroat environment of modern-day football, not even past successes can guarantee job security.
