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
	Luka Elsner	Amiens	FRA	Sacked
Despite an appeal, Amiens were eventually relegated to Ligue 2.
	Vincent Hognon	FC Metz	FRA	Sacked
Sacked.
	Sabri Lamouchi	Notts Forest	GBR	Sacked
The dreadful form of Lamouchi's team meant this was just a matter of time and he has been replaced by Chris Hughton.
	Thierry Laurey	Strasbourg	FRA	Very Insecure
A slow start to the season has him under pressure.
	Phillip Cocu	Derby County	GBR	Very Insecure
Derby are a bit of a mess and Cocu doesn't look like he has answers. Writing appears to be on the wall.
	Uwe Rösler	Düsseldorf	DEU	Insecure
Dusseldorf suffered relegation after finishing 17th in the Bundesliga.
	Lee Bowyer	Charlton	GBR	Insecure
Charlton were relegated but Bowyer is a well-liked manager and there won't be a trigger decision on him.
	Florian Kohfeldt	W. Bremen	DEU	Insecure
Werder Bremen survived and Kohfeldt will be retained but there isn't complete confidence in him.
	Thomas Tuchel	PSG	FRA	Insecure
Although PSG seem to have recovered from their poor start to the season, ongoing disagreements with the board have the German on a tightrope.
	Rudi Garcia	Lyon	FRA	Insecure
Was not a popular appointment in the first place and Garcia's Lyon are performing well below expectations.
	Christian Gourcuff	Nantes	FRA	Insecure
Nantes have made a slow start to the season and with a notoriously trigger-happy board, the finger may be pointed at the coach.
	Stéphane Jobard	Dijon	FRA	Insecure
Jobard has a long and conflicted history with Dijon and it's four defeats from four - he's under pressure.
	Ole G. Solskjaer	Man Utd	GBR	Insecure
An opening day defeat to Crystal Palace has only strengthened the opinion of those that believe he is simply not up to this job.
	David Moyes	West Ham	GBR	Insecure
Two losses in a row at the beginning of the new season. The pressure is on, already.
	Scott Parker	Fulham	GBR	Insecure
Parker could be in trouble before too long. His team don't look cut out for this level.
	Dean Holden	Bristol City	GBR	Insecure
Bristol City look good so far under the new boss.
	Paulo Fonseca	Roma	ITA	Insecure
Roma performed well against Juventus but difficult to see much positivity ahead for them.
	Diego López	Brescia	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Brescia were relegated, but he's still in charge, for now.
	Fabio Liverani	Lecce	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Liverani's double promotion to get them to Serie A has instilled plenty of faith in him despite Lecce's relegation.
	Patrick Vieira	Nice	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Nice have improved of late but are still below where a squad as talented as this should have finished in the table.
	David Guion	Stade de Reims	FRA	Slightly Insecure
A poor start to the season from Reims, who should be performing to a higher standard, despite last season's heroics.
	Slaven Bilić	West Brom	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Promoted last season but his team need points and it's difficult to know where they are going to come from.
	Steve Bruce	Newcastle	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Bruce is likely to be ok as long as Newcastle are sufficiently far enough from the relegation positions.
	Alex Neil	Preston NE	GBR	Slightly Insecure
Preston have struggled at the start of this season and he will need to be careful.
	Garry Monk	Sheffield Wed	GBR	Slightly Insecure
On negative points and up against it, Monk needs time to shape a squad based on what he has to work with.
	Ronald Koeman	Barcelona	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Koeman will be at the very least slightly insecure for pretty much this entire season.
	Pablo Machín	Alavés	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Two losses already for Machin this season and it looks like it might be a tough slog.
	Óscar García	Celta	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Guided Celta to safety by the skin of their teeth, but will the club allow for such a close call again?
	Gaizka Garitano	Athletic	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Picked up a good win but will be hoping for better results than their middling 19/20 season.
	Unai Emery	Villarreal	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Only just arrived but some bizarre team selections and poor results so far.
	Giuseppe Iachini	Fiorentina	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Fiorentina's form has been mixed and it's not clear if Iachini can get the best from a talented squad.
	Marco Giampaolo	Torino	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Two losses out of two for Torino and it doesn't take much to exact change in Italy.
	Rolando Maran	Genoa	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Some early bad results are already putting pressure on Maran's position.
	Eusebio Di Francesco	Cagliari	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Will be important for Cagliari to get off to a good start to the season.
	Luca Gotti	Udinese	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Is currently fighting to keep his best players and it will be interesting to see what he is left with.
	Steffen Baumgart	SC Paderborn	DEU	Secure
Despite being relegated with just 20 points, Baumgart remains a popular figure after getting Paderborn promoted in the first place.
	Luigi Di Biagio	SPAL	ITA	Secure
Spal are down so it's a rebuild in Serie B for Di Biagio.
	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.
	Sebastian Hoeneß	Hoffenheim	DEU	Secure
Was appointed over the summer and has made a very encouraging start.
	Markus Gisdol	1. FC Köln	DEU	Secure
Gisdol has kept Koln in the division which was all that was asked of him.
	Lucien Favre	Dortmund	DEU	Secure
He lost his second game of the season, but luckily for him so did Bayern.
	Pellegrino Matarazzo	Stuttgart	DEU	Secure
A good run at the Bundesliga is what is expected of Stuttgart this year.
	Christian Streich	Freiburg	DEU	Secure
Freiburg's form last season tailed off a little but this is still a team mixing it with clubs whose budget dwarfs theirs, thanks to Streich and his staff.
	Heiko Herrlich	Augsburg	DEU	Secure
Augsburg have successfully survived in the Bundesliga for next season and Herrlich will lead the side into 2020/21.
	Oliver Glasner	Wolfsburg	DEU	Secure
Wolfsburg are hugely inconsistent but Glasner's position doesn't appear to be under threat for now.
	Adi Hütter	Frankfurt	DEU	Secure
Hutter's has built a nice, if slightly flaky, squad at Frankfurt considering the players he lost and he'll get another chance to rebuild in this window.

St Etienne have started the season well and Puel is looking to build a nice team.
	Niko Kovač	Monaco	FRA	Secure
New to the job and Monaco have looked pretty good so far.
	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.
	Franck Haise	RC Lens	FRA	Secure
Will be starting with Lens in Ligue 1 next season.
	André Villas-Boas	Marseille	FRA	Secure
AVB's contract is up in 2021 and he may well leave then, but for now he seems content to work under the conditions imposed on him.
	Jérôme Arpinon	Nimes	FRA	Secure
A battle against relegation awaits for Arpinon and much will depend on how results pan out.
	Christophe Galtier	Lille	FRA	Secure
A few frustrating results aside, Lille had a superb year and Galtier will remain at the helm.
	Christophe Pélissier	Lorient	FRA	Secure
Will have the main target of keeping Lorient in the top flight.
	Olivier Dall’Oglio	Brest	FRA	Secure
Brest performed to, or slightly above, expectations in Ligue 1 and so Dall'Oglio is safe for the time being.
	Jean-Louis Gasset	Bordeaux	FRA	Secure
Only appointed in the summer after Paulo Sousa's exit.
	Dean Smith	Aston Villa	GBR	Secure
A 7-2 win over Liverpool is one of the most famous results in Villa's history. That will earn him plenty of respect.
	Roy Hodgson	Crystal Palace	GBR	Secure
Palace have started positively and Hodgson's tactical set-up is a key part of that.
	Brendan Rodgers	Leicester City	GBR	Secure
Has retained the faith of the board despite missing out on the Champions League last year.
	Frank Lampard	Chelsea	GBR	Secure
Over £200m spent. Every dropped point will add huge pressure on Lampard but he is fine for now, even if the defence continues to leak goals.
	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.
	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. But, a bad start to the new campaign.
	Carlo Ancelotti	Everton	GBR	Secure
James looks to be an inspired signing, and Everton are beginning to look good for the first time in a while.
	Arteta	Arsenal	GBR	Secure
The FA Cup win earned Arteta a lot of support, and they have started the new season well.
	Graham Potter	Brighton	GBR	Secure
Potter recently signed a new deal until 2025 and they have started the season impressively.
	Sean Dyche	Burnley	GBR	Secure
Unlikely to be sacked but may wonder if he has taken the club as far as he can.
	José Mourinho	Tottenham	GBR	Secure
The new Jose has been replaced by the old, surly one. But his likely huge contract and a decent upturn in form for Spurs to take them to the Europa League means he'll be there a while.
	Mark Warburton	QPR	GBR	Secure
Warburton has built a nice squad with good attacking players and they'll be worth watching this season.
	Neil Harris	Cardiff	GBR	Secure
Has taken over a Cardiff team who were struggling to adapt to Championship life and driven them to the playoffs.

Has transformed Millwall from the Neil Harris era and while the play-offs were beyond them he will be there next season.
	Thomas Frank	Brentford	GBR	Secure
Frank signed a new contract and is integral to the club's model on how they approach recruitment and playing style. But, that playoff loss will hurt.
	Steve Cooper	Swansea	GBR	Secure
Swansea have a good squad but a frustrating team, though they did really well to eventually reach the playoffs.
	Carlos Corberán	Huddersfield	GBR	Secure
Will be given plenty of time to establish himself at a club with a reduced budget.
	Neil Warnock	Middlesbrough	GBR	Secure
Kept Middlesbrough up and will make them difficult to beat.

A solid if unspectacular start to life back in the Championship for Ivic's side.
	Nathan Jones	Luton Town	GBR	Secure
Back in at Luton and his team have looked good so far.
	Michael O'Neill	Stoke	GBR	Secure

	Karanka	Birmingham	GBR	Secure
Has made an encouraging start to life at Birmingham with limited resources.
	Paul Warne	Rotherham Utd	GBR	Secure
Rotherham probably surprised to be at this level and it's a long season ahead.

	Jorge Almirón	Elche	ESP	Secure
A very difficult season battling relegation is expected for the promoted club.

	Álvaro Cervera	Cádiz CF	ESP	Secure

	Michel	Huesca	ESP	Secure
Will be interesting to see how Huesca perform this season under Michel.

Seems to be well-liked by his players and is making a largely weak Osasuna squad competitive almost every week.

A very impressive start in his opening match against Sampdoria.

Will get a free hit at the top flight this season with promoted Benevento.
	Stefano Pioli	Milan	ITA	Secure
Pioli performed so well he was handed a new deal, as Milan scrapped the Ralf Rangnick project.

Has turned an inconsistent Inter side into title contenders and they are building an exciting team to challenge again this season.
	Roberto De Zerbi	Sassuolo	ITA	Secure
Sassuolo have become the lite version of Atalanta.

A general feeling that with some excellent wins of late, a corner may have been turned, finally, for Napoli.
	Ivan Juric	Verona	ITA	Secure
Verona are just fine at the moment and Juric seems to be building something nice. His win over Juve has been a season higlight.
	Marco Rose	M'gladbach	DEU	Very Secure
Similarly to Bosz, Rose's exciting Gladbach team are good to watch, and it will be Gladbach's task to try and keep the coach rather than the other way around.

	Uwe Neuhaus	Bielefeld	DEU	Very Secure
Onwards and upwards for the latest Bundesliga addition.
	Bruno Labbadia	Hertha BSC	DEU	Very Secure
Hertha's revival under Labbadia is somewhat unexpected but is building a nice project with some exciting signings.
	Hansi Flick	Bayern	DEU	Very Secure
Treble winners, and a 8-0 victory in their opening game of the 2020/21 season. His position couldn't be more secure.
	Urs Fischer	Union Berlin	DEU	Very Secure
Took Union Berlin up for the first time in their history and kept them there, a brilliant achievement.
	Stéphane Moulin	Angers	FRA	Very Secure
Moulin's men massively exceeded expectations last season and he will likely hang around for another year or more.
	Julien Stéphan	Stade Rennais	FRA	Very Secure
Stephan is a bright young coach with an exciting team who finished behind just Marseille and PSG in the standings.
	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.
