The Premier League is known for its ruthless nature of hiring and firing coaches, and every one of these managers knows this from the first day they receive their appointment letter.
Most clubs in the Premier League are more often interested in results than reputation. As the season reaches a decisive phase, pressure is mounting on several managers whose teams have struggled to meet expectations with poor form not just in the league but across other competitions.
One of the managers under serious scrutiny is Thomas Frank. Despite his tactical reputation, recent results have not gone in his favour, and patience among supporters appears to be getting thin. A lack of consistency and defensive lapses have raised questions about whether he can turn things around quickly enough to satisfy the club’s hierarchy.
Tottenham have failed to hit the ground running since the arrival of Thomas Frank as they have constantly failed to secure wins at home but there is a dilemma for the owners because Spurs have been top-notch in the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham’s form under Thomas Frank this season has been struggling in the Premier League, with the team winning only a handful of matches and drawing more often than not, leaving Spurs around mid-table and facing pressure from supporters due to poor domestic results and lackluster performances, even though they’ve shown some fight in Europe with wins like a recent 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund that edges them toward the Champions League knockout stages.
Another name on the list is Daniel Farke who is currently facing a difficult spell facing a difficult spell. His side have ballted with relegation from the beginning of the season and there is a possibility that he might take them down to the Championship.
While the club values stability, continued poor performances could force the board into making a tough decision if results continue in this way as they will prioritise staying up in the league.
Attention has also turned to Oliver Glasner, whose team has endured an inconsistent run. Although there is no official indication that his job is immediately at risk, internal pressure and frustration over dropped points have fuelled speculation that he might not survive the end of this season before he gets the termination of contract letter.
At the top end of the table, Arne Slot has faced criticism following underwhelming performances in key matches. While his position is not yet critical, the expectations at a major club mean that prolonged dips in form are rarely tolerated.
Arne Slot has seen his Liverpool side fail to replicate the form which saw them win the Premier League during the 2024/25 season. Liverpool have to catch up with the league leaders Arsenal as they have constantly been in and around the top four position for the better part of the 2025/26 season.
Liverpool’s form under Arne Slot this season has been inconsistent and below expectations, especially in the Premier League, where they have struggled to sustain momentum and defend their title challenge. While there have been flashes of Slot’s attacking philosophy and some positive results, dropped points against lower-table sides, defensive lapses, and an inability to control games for long periods have hurt their league position. Performances in Europe have been mixed combining impressive wins with surprising heavy defeats reflecting the team’s unpredictability. Overall, Liverpool remains competitive but lacks the consistency, defensive solidity, and ruthless edge that defined their best spells, leaving Slot under growing scrutiny as the season progresses.
As history has shown, the Premier League sack race can change rapidly. A single bad run of games or a heavy defeat is often enough to accelerate decisions behind the scenes. With crucial fixtures approaching, the coming weeks could prove decisive for several managers fighting to keep their jobs.
