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
	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.
	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.
	Dean Smith	Aston Villa	GBR	Insecure
Villa, despite spending £130m in the summer, look doomed at this point and Smith's position looks increasingly precarious.
	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.
	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?
	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.
	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.
	Denis Zanko	Toulouse	FRA	Insecure
Zanko has just been appointed to a club in dire straits and faces a virtually impossible task to avoid relegation. That being said, he may not see the end of the season.
	Jonathan Woodgate	Middlesbrough	GBR	Insecure
It's back to being bleak for Boro after a decent spell and a relegation battle very much awaits them.
	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.
	Grant McCann	Hull City	GBR	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.
	Quique Setién	Barcelona	ESP	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.
	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.
	Moreno Longo	Torino	ITA	Insecure
Longo has replaced the hapless Walter Mazzarri and it's not getting much better for Torino at the moment.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	Arteta	Arsenal	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Some will claim that Arsenal are far better under Arteta but the results suggest otherwise. Still poor, still struggling.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	Luka Elsner	Amiens	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Amiens' form isn't getting any better and they are in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom. Elsner is in serious trouble.
	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.
	Phillip Cocu	Derby County	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Derby have been much, much better of late but the play-offs are dead for them and the next few months might see more changes.
	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 and given the money City have spent, another failure may mean his position in reassessed.
	Garry Monk	Sheffield Wed	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Wednesday's form not good of late but team is probably positioned where it should be in the table.
	Gerhard Struber	Barnsley	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Barnsley's better run of late has given them a chance but they remain in the bottom three for now.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	Uwe Rösler	Düsseldorf	DEU	Secure
The new appointment in Düsseldorf will be given time to settle into the position, and his good run in February has given them a chance of salvation.
	Lucien Favre	Dortmund	DEU	Secure
A fantastic run for Dortmund, plus the massive positive in Haaland, means they will stick with Favre for now.
	Oliver Glasner	Wolfsburg	DEU	Secure
Wolfsburg are hugely inconsistent but Glasner's position doesn't appear to be under threat for now.
	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 and much will likely depend on how far he goes in the Champions League.
	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.
	Alfred Schreuder	Hoffenheim	DEU	Secure
Schreuder has picked up the mantle from Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim's performances have largely been in line with expectations.
	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.
	Roy Hodgson	Crystal Palace	GBR	Secure
Hodgson's attention to detail looks set to have retained Palace's top-flight status for another season.
	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.
	Nigel Pearson	Watford	GBR	Secure
Pearson's defeat of Liverpool injected hope into their bid to stay up and he'll get a good run in the position.
	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.
	Brendan Rodgers	Leicester City	GBR	Secure
Results have regressed of late but it was to be expected and Champions League football still looks nailed on.
	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.
	Thierry Laurey	Strasbourg	FRA	Secure
Strasbourg have had positive momentum in the past few months and Laurey's position isn't under threat.
	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.
	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.
	Christophe Galtier	Lille	FRA	Secure
A few frustrating results aside Lille are very much in the hunt for Champions League football this season.
	Christian Gourcuff	Nantes	FRA	Secure
Nantes have dropped off significantly of late but Gourcuff's job is not 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.
	Neil Harris	Cardiff	GBR	Secure
Has taken over a Cardiff team who were struggling to adapt to Championship life and steadied the ship.
	Alex Neil	Preston NE	GBR	Secure
Preston are competing with teams who have larger budgets and are in with a real shout of the play-offs.
	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.
	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.
	Gary Rowett	Millwall	GBR	Secure
Has transformed Millwall from the Neil Harris era and while the play-offs are probably beyond them he will be there next season.
	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.
	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
Warburton massively frustrated by his team of late but he has still done a superb job with a limited squad.
	Sabri Lamouchi	Notts Forest	GBR	Secure
Appeared an uncertain appointment to begin with but has taken Forest to the edge of automatic promotion.
	Steve Cooper	Swansea	GBR	Secure
Swansea have a good squad but a frustrating team and will likely miss out on the playoffs this year.
	Pep Clotet	Birmingham	GBR	Secure
Well liked and building a competitive team on a small budget, Clotet is also bringing through young players, and they can now build for next season.
	Sergio	Valladolid	ESP	Secure

	Paco López	Levante	ESP	Secure
Lopez is a well respected coach and things have gotten better for the team, notably beating Real Madrid.
	Asier Garitano	Alavés	ESP	Secure
Alaves are on a decent run and are now well clear of the drop. Garitano will be building for next season.
	Gaizka Garitano	Athletic	ESP	Secure

	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.

	Claudio Ranieri	Sampdoria	ITA	Secure
Ranieri has dragged Sampdoria from a doomed position to being clear of relegation and having upward momentum.

Like Liverani at Lecce delivered Parma back to Serie A and his team are enjoying a superb campaign.
	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.
	Luigi Di Biagio	SPAL	ITA	Secure
Just in the door at Spal so time will tell if the former Italy youth boss can save them from relegation.
	Urs Fischer	Union Berlin	DEU	Very Secure
Took Union Berlin up for the first time in their history and signed a contract extension in September. A safe bet.
	Julian Nagelsmann	RB Leipzig	DEU	Very Secure
Nagelsmann and Leipzig seem like a perfect match and this marriage will only end if the coach decides to leave.
	Nuno Espírito Santo	Wolves	GBR	Very Secure
Nuno is an intrinsic part of how Wolves operate, is a world class coach, and they know it. He's in an extremely good position.

Frank has just signed a new contract and is integral to the club's model on how they approach recruitment and playing style.
	Tony Mowbray	Blackburn	GBR	Very Secure
