Managers Job Security list

Coaches from Top five leagues

Job Security lists every manager in Europe's top five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) and identifies which are most likely to be sacked in the coming weeks.

FC assigns a likelihood of their departure based around the traditional layout of Championship Manager, from Very Insecure (could likely lose their job in the next week), Insecure (Not performing well but not in full danger just yet), Slightly Insecure (a worrying run of form), through to managers who are secure and very secure at the opposite end of the scale. FC also offers odds on the next manager to be dismissed from these leagues and will also provide odds and information on the likely replacement for any vacant positions.

	Name	Team	Country	Job Security
	Alexander Nouri	Hertha BSC	DEU	Very Insecure
Klinsmann’s former assistant had a disaster so far and it already looks likely they could pull the trigger. A mess this season.
	Florian Kohfeldt	W. Bremen	DEU	Very Insecure
There is a real belief in 37-year-old Kohfeldt's ability as a coach but Werder have been awful in 19/20 and the writing's on the wall. A decision could be imminent.
	Dean Smith	Aston Villa	GBR	Insecure
A cup final in the bag and an upturn in league form, Smith's position has improved but staying up will absolutely remain the target.
	Ole G. Solskjaer	Man Utd	GBR	Insecure
Much better results for United of late but the spectre of Pochettino looms large and it's unlikely that he'll see next season.
	David Moyes	West Ham	GBR	Insecure
He won't be sacked this season, given his recent appointment, but impossible to know what West Ham have planned for Moyes long-term.
	Eddie Howe	Bournemouth	GBR	Insecure
In a similar vein to Dean Smith at Villa, Eddie Howe's fantastic work at Bournemouth is being undone this season. Will the club allow him to take them down and start again? Or is change coming?
	Daniel Farke	Norwich	GBR	Insecure
Difficult to know - Farke is immensely well-liked but his team are almost certainly going to be relegated. Worth watching to see if patience wears thin.
	Rudi Garcia	Lyon	FRA	Insecure
Was not a popular appointment in the first place and having lost key player Memphis Depay for the season, pressure is beginning to mount.
	Luka Elsner	Amiens	FRA	Insecure
A three-month sequence without a victory allied to no clear pattern of how he wishes his side to play leaves the summer arrival under increasing pressure.
	Jonathan Woodgate	Middlesbrough	GBR	Insecure
It's back to being bleak for Boro after a decent spell and whether Woodgate will be given another pre-season is unclear.
	Graeme Jones	Luton Town	GBR	Insecure
Luton are conceding a huge amount of goals and while the structure of the club likely means Jones will be retained until the summer, they face a real battle to stay up.
	Óscar García	Celta	ESP	Insecure
Garcia was only appointed in November but results aren't improving. Celta remain in serious danger of the drop.
	Rubí	Real Betis	ESP	Insecure
Rubi's form at Betis has been far from stellar, though he is a highly-regarded coach and may well be given time.
	Albert Celades	Valencia	ESP	Insecure
It's not been a good spell recently for Celades and Valencia and Champions League defeat might see the end of him.
	Steffen Baumgart	SC Paderborn	DEU	Slightly Insecure
Baumgart brought Paderborn into the top flight and they seem to give him the benefit of the doubt for now, though they remain bottom of the table.
	Frank Lampard	Chelsea	GBR	Slightly Insecure
The club, players and fans seem to have faith in Frank in this transition season but results have been poor for some time.
	Roy Hodgson	Crystal Palace	GBR	Slightly Insecure
It's a poor run for Palace at the moment but they are far enough away from the relegation positions to likely be ok this season.
	Nigel Pearson	Watford	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Watford's new manager bounce seems to have worn off slightly and after looking clear of relegation they are now back in the mix at the bottom.
	Arteta	Arsenal	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Some will claim that Arsenal are far better under Arteta but the results suggest otherwise. Still poor, still struggling.
	Graham Potter	Brighton	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Potter has just recently signed a new deal until 2025 but relegation is a concern. Potter needs to keep them up to justify his position.
	Steve Bruce	Newcastle	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Bruce is a cheap option for the club, and has performed well but the numbers are beginning to turn on Newcastle at the moment.
	Bernard Blaquart	Nimes	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Blaquart is an institution at Nimes but relegation is a real threat this season, though they would likely retain his services.
	Stéphane Jobard	Dijon	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Jobard has a long and conflicted history with Dijon but for now at least they have their head above water - just.
	Denis Zanko	Toulouse	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Zanko has just been appointed to a club in dire straits and faces a virtually impossible task to avoid relegation.
	Paulo Sousa	Bordeaux	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Since being knocked out of the cup by third-tier Pau, Bordeaux have improved significantly, going unbeaten in four and are closer to Europe than relegation.
	Thomas Tuchel	PSG	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Tuchel has been given regular support from the PSG hierarchy but the upcoming Dortmund tie in the Champions League is a huge, huge clash for him.
	Patrick Vieira	Nice	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Nice have improved of late but are still well below where a squad as talented as this should be in the table.
	Claude Puel	Saint-Étienne	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Puel was only appointed in October but things are not going well at St Etienne and he is already under some pressure.
	Grant McCann	Hull City	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Having sold their best players in January a relegation battle is not outwith the realms of possibility and McCann, despite not being responsible, will be in the firing line.
	Phillip Cocu	Derby County	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Derby have been much, much better of late and if their form continues the play-offs could still be an option for them.
	Mark Bowen	Reading	GBR	Slightly Insecure
A club that like to dispose of managers freely and while Reading have been good of late, they are never far away from another crisis.
	Lee Johnson	Bristol City	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Bristol City have been perennially on the edge of the playoffs but they look set to miss out again and Johnson could be under threat soon enough.
	Pep Clotet	Birmingham	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Well liked and building a competitive team on a small budget, Clotet is also bringing through young players, but they continue to slide closer to the relegation positions.
	Gerhard Struber	Barnsley	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Stuber has only recently been appointed but the club remain in real threat of relegation to League One and have a crucial run of fixtures ahead.
	Lee Bowyer	Charlton	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Took Charlton up when not expecting to and started the season so well, but the team are in freefall and they could be in serious danger soon.
	Mendilibar	Eibar	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Mendilibar has performed a stellar job at Eibar but this looks like turning into a real relegation battle for them.
	Vicente Moreno	Mallorca	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Moreno will likely be rewarded for his two consecutive promotions with a chance to keep Mallora in La Liga, but they are in trouble at the moment.
	Diego Simeone	Atletico Madrid	ESP	Slightly Insecure
After everything Simeone has achieved, it is likely he would only leave Atletico on his own terms, but it's fair to say that this season isn't going well, his shot-shy attackers just unable to find the target. Perhaps he stayed too long...
	Zinedine Zidane	Real Madrid	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Cracks beginning to appear in Madrid and Zidane needs another Champions League run to convince he deserves another season.
	Javier Aguirre	Leganés	ESP	Slightly Insecure
The veteran Aguirre only took over in November but they are struggling to climb out of the relegation positions.
	Abelardo	Espanyol	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Things aren't looking up for Espanyol and Abelardo, despite only being appointed in December.
	Paco López	Levante	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Lopez is a well respected coach but it's not been great of late and if the losing run continues they could be in a relegation battle.
	Quique Setién	Barcelona	ESP	Slightly Insecure
It's not harsh to say that Setien's position is already up for much discussion. Barca are not a sacking club but results need to change.
	Asier Garitano	Alavés	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Garitano hasn't turned the corner yet but some better results since Christmas have eased the pressure on him slightly.
	Diego López	Brescia	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Only just in the door at Brescia but has a task on his hands to keep Brescia in the division.
	Moreno Longo	Torino	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Longo has replaced the hapless Walter Mazzarri and started with a poor 3-1 defeat at home to Sampdoria. Torino are a side in freefall.
	Stefano Pioli	Milan	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Milan have definitely improved under Pioli but the club remain directionless and it's difficult to know what the future holds.
	Roberto De Zerbi	Sassuolo	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Sassuolo are doing OK... for now. But a run of bad results will see them dragged towards an inevitable relegation battle.
	Davide Nicola	Genoa	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Recent sprouts of recovery have given Genoa hope of salvation and Nicola has been at the heart of that.
	Luca Gotti	Udinese	ITA	Slightly Insecure
A caretaker and distinctly unhappy to be one, Gotti's position is difficult to predict, though Udinese's form has gotten better.
	Fabio Liverani	Lecce	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Liverani's double promotion to get them to Serie A has instilled plenty of faith in him and Lecce's recent recovery will definitely have removed pressure on his position.
	Paulo Fonseca	Roma	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Hard to know with Roma with the team well in the hunt for the Champions League, but a recent loss to Atalanta leaves them a little off the pace.
	Maurizio Sarri	Juventus	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Sarri doesn't know what his best team is, his team are very much in a title race and face a massive few weeks ahead.
	Achim Beierlorzer	Mainz	DEU	Secure
Only took the reins at Mainz in November following his sacking from Koln but they remain in a relegation battle.
	Peter Bosz	Leverkusen	DEU	Secure
Bosz's possession football is well-liked and Leverkusen have made a few interesting signings. He's fine for now.
	Marco Rose	M'gladbach	DEU	Secure
Similarly to Bosz, Rose's exciting Gladbach team are good to watch, and are battling near the top of the table.
	David Wagner	Schalke	DEU	Secure
Has transformed Schalke from relegation candidates to European challengers and has spent very little doing so.
	Markus Gisdol	1. FC Köln	DEU	Secure
Gisdol looks in a good position now to keep Koln in the division.
	Martin Schmidt	Augsburg	DEU	Secure
Augsburg and Schmidt will be content with their mid-table position in the Bundesliga, and he's not under any pressure.
	Oliver Glasner	Wolfsburg	DEU	Secure
Wolfsburg are hugely inconsistent but Glasner's position doesn't appear to be under threat for now.
	Uwe Rösler	Düsseldorf	DEU	Secure
The new appointment in Düsseldorf will be given time to settle into the position, but has already picked up his first point with a credible draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
	Lucien Favre	Dortmund	DEU	Secure
A fantastic run for Dortmund, plus the massive positive in Haaland, means they will stick with Favre for now.
	Alfred Schreuder	Hoffenheim	DEU	Secure
Schreuder has picked up the mantle from Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim's performances have largely been in line with expectations.
	Christian Streich	Freiburg	DEU	Secure
Freiburg's form has tailed off a little but this is still a team mixing it with clubs whose budget dwarfs theirs, thanks to Streich and his staff.
	Hansi Flick	Bayern	DEU	Secure
Flick will be around until the summer at least, but what happens after that is anyone's guess.
	Adi Hütter	Frankfurt	DEU	Secure
A few good results since the winter break has seen Frankfurt climb the table, while media even speculated he could be a future Dortmund head coach.
	Pep Guardiola	Man City	GBR	Secure
Pep may want to leave on his own terms but it is highly unlikely the club would ever take the option to push him out.
	Carlo Ancelotti	Everton	GBR	Secure
Ancelotti has turned things around since their shock cup defeat and Everton are in the hunt for the Champions League.
	Ralph Hasenhüttl	Southampton	GBR	Secure
From being on the brink after the 9-0 loss to Leicester, Hasenhuttl has turned things around, to his eternal credit.
	Sean Dyche	Burnley	GBR	Secure
Just when things looked a little bleak for Burnley, Dyche has turned it around. Burnley look set for another year in the division.
	José Mourinho	Tottenham	GBR	Secure
The new Jose has been replaced by the old, surly one. But his likely huge contract and the fact he was only recently appointed mean Spurs will have him for some time yet.
	Michel Der Zakarian	Montpellier	FRA	Secure
Zakarian has a long association with Montpellier and they are in a good position in Ligue 1 at the moment.
	Christian Gourcuff	Nantes	FRA	Secure
Nantes have dropped off significantly of late but Gourcuff's job is not under threat.
	Christophe Galtier	Lille	FRA	Secure
A few frustrating results aside Lille are very much in the hunt for Champions League football this season.
	Thierry Laurey	Strasbourg	FRA	Secure
Strasbourg have had positive momentum in the past few months and Laurey's position isn't under threat.
	Olivier Dall’Oglio	Brest	FRA	Secure
Brest are performing to, or slightly above, expectations in Ligue 1 and so Dall'Oglio is safe for the time being.
	Robert Moreno	Monaco	FRA	Secure
Only recently replaced Jardim as coach and started with an encouraging result at PSG which will give him some time.
	David Guion	Stade de Reims	FRA	Secure
Positioned nicely in the middle of the pack and under no threat of relegation, Guion's job is not under threat.
	Alex Neil	Preston NE	GBR	Secure
Preston have been up and down this year but Neil has built a good squad on his budget and is safe.
	Gary Rowett	Millwall	GBR	Secure
Has transformed Millwall from the Neil Harris era and they now look an outside bet for the playoffs.
	Michael O'Neill	Stoke	GBR	Secure
O'Neill's track record precedes him and given the mess he inherited means he will be in charge until next season at the very least.
	Danny Cowley	Huddersfield	GBR	Secure
the Cowley's have taken over a difficult situation and have managed to make Huddersfield difficult to beat again. They will be in place, at least, until next season.
	Scott Parker	Fulham	GBR	Secure
Fulham play progressive passing football and they are in the hunt for promotion. Highly thought of and should be in the hunt in May.
	Sabri Lamouchi	Notts Forest	GBR	Secure
Appeared an uncertain appointment to begin with but has taken Forest to the edge of automatic promotion.
	Paul Cook	Wigan Athletic	GBR	Secure
Wigan are a team underperforming their xG all season and Paul Cook has performed a superb job on a minuscule budget.
	Mark Warburton	QPR	GBR	Secure

	Garry Monk	Sheffield Wed	GBR	Secure
Seems to be building something and will be Wednesday manager until next season at least.

	Steve Cooper	Swansea	GBR	Secure
Swansea have made some excellent loans signings and are positioned to make a tilt at the Championship play-offs.
	Gaizka Garitano	Athletic	ESP	Secure
Not generally the most exciting side to watch, but Athletic are positioned nicely in the pack chasing Europa League football.
	Javier Calleja	Villarreal	ESP	Secure
Villarreal boast an extremely talented squad and Calleja is managing to get a tune from them most weeks.
	Diego Martínez	Granada	ESP	Secure
Martinez, at 39, is a well-respected young coach who, after taking Granada back to La Liga, is doing a superb job in the top flight.
	Imanol Alguacil	Real Sociedad	ESP	Secure
Real Sociedad display superb attacking football and Alguacil has enjoyed a confident 12 months in charge.
	Lopetegui	Sevilla FC	ESP	Secure
After a difficult 12 months for Lopetegui, he has bounced back by taking an unfancied Sevilla team to unexpected heights.
	Jagoba Arrasate	Osasuna	ESP	Secure
Seems to be well-liked by his players and is making a largely weak Osasuna squad competitive almost every week.
	Sergio	Valladolid	ESP	Secure
A good spell for Sergio and Valladolid have edged them away from relegation trouble.
	Gennaro Gattuso	Napoli	ITA	Secure
A massive win for Gattuso at Sampdoria, and a general feeling that with some excellent wins of late, a corner may have been turned.

Took Union Berlin up for the first time in their history and signed a contract extension in September. A safe bet.

Nagelsmann and Leipzig seem like a perfect match and this marriage will only end if the coach decides to leave.

Leicester are in love with Rodgers and the young team he is building. The only way he will leave is if he chooses to.

	Jürgen Klopp	Liverpool	GBR	Very Secure
