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
	Asier Garitano	Alavés	ESP	Very Insecure
Form isn't great, and players are openly criticising Garitano. This one feels on the brink.
	Florian Kohfeldt	W. Bremen	DEU	Insecure
Their is a real belief in 37-year-old Kohfeldt's ability as a coach but Werder have been awful in 19/20 and a change wouldn't be a huge surprise.
	Sean Dyche	Burnley	GBR	Insecure
Another Smith/Howe project manager who has been around a long time but with Burnley near the foot of the table, a 'Hail Mary' change might be in the offing.
	Ole G. Solskjaer	Man Utd	GBR	Insecure
Ole's position, given his lack of experience, will always been under threat. Things aren't quite at threat level midnight at the moment, however.
	Dean Smith	Aston Villa	GBR	Insecure
Villa's recent poor run and their spot in the relegation positions could be giving Aston Villa cause for concern, and maybe lining up a replacement.
	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?
	Luka Elsner	Amiens	FRA	Insecure
There was massive belief in Elsner's attacking philosophy but a dreadful run of results since November has heightened the pressure.
	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.
	Lucien Favre	Dortmund	DEU	Slightly Insecure
There had been real calls for Favre to be replaced around November but those seemed to have died down. A massive month ahead, though, with the Bundesliga title a legitimate target.
	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.
	Adi Hütter	Frankfurt	DEU	Slightly Insecure
Frankfurt lost some key talent in the summer but they are still underachieving, and with no wins in their last five, Hutter must be careful.
	Friedhelm Funkel	Düsseldorf	DEU	Slightly Insecure
The 66-year-old veteran is considering retirement at the end of the season, and it's unlikely Dusseldorf would remove him before then.
	Markus Gisdol	1. FC Köln	DEU	Slightly Insecure
An excellent run of three wins in a row before the winter break pulled Koln out of the relegation positions.
	Daniel Farke	Norwich	GBR	Slightly 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.
	Ralph Hasenhüttl	Southampton	GBR	Slightly Insecure
From being on the brink after the 9-0 loss to Leicester, Hasenhuttl has turned things around, to his eternal credit.
	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.
	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.
	Rudi Garcia	Lyon	FRA	Slightly Insecure
Was not a popular appointment in the first place and having lost key player Memphis Depay for the season, pressure may begin to mount before too long.
	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.
	Sergio	Valladolid	ESP	Slightly Insecure
January will be a huge month for Sergio - a few wins could secure Valladolid's status for 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.
	Óscar García	Celta	ESP	Slightly Insecure
Garcia was only appointed in November but things haven't improved for Celta and they remain precariously above the bottom three.
	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.
	Gennaro Gattuso	Napoli	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Gattuso has only just arrived but Napoli's form is awful, the club is in turmoil and it already feels like this won't have a happy ending.
	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.
	Fabio Liverani	Lecce	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Lecce's position is dangerously above the relegation zone but Liverani's double promotion to get them to Serie A has instilled plenty of faith in him.
	Maurizio Sarri	Juventus	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Sarri is safe enough, for now, but he was never first choice and a bad run will bring pressure down upon him.
	Stefano Pioli	Milan	ITA	Slightly Insecure
Pioli is a mid-season firefighter for a team going precisely nowhere and it's difficult to see what he can do to lift this dying force.
	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.
	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.
	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.
	Jürgen Klinsmann	Hertha BSC	DEU	Secure
Has not long arrived at Hertha but has been responsible for a real upturn in form for the capital club, dragging them clear of relegation.
	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.
	Alfred Schreuder	Hoffenheim	DEU	Secure
Schreuder has picked up the mantle from Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim's performances have largely been in line with expectations.
	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.
	Hansi Flick	Bayern	DEU	Secure
Flick will be around until the summer at least, but what happens after that is anyone's guess.
	Oliver Glasner	Wolfsburg	DEU	Secure
Wolfsburg are hugely inconsistent but Glasner's position doesn't appear to be under threat for now.
	Frank Lampard	Chelsea	GBR	Secure
The club, players and fans seem to have faith in frank in this transition season.
	Steve Bruce	Newcastle	GBR	Secure
Bruce is a cheap option for the club, but one who has performed a superb job under difficult circumstances.
	Roy Hodgson	Crystal Palace	GBR	Secure
Palace are overperforming xG but that will be good enough for their owners if Roy keeps them up.
	Carlo Ancelotti	Everton	GBR	Secure
Already suffered one harrowing result but Ancelotti is a world-class coach who will be given time to make an impact.
	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.
	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.
	Nigel Pearson	Watford	GBR	Secure
Had performed a superb job to take Watford from rock-bottom into a position where they look favourites to survive.
	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.
	Claude Puel	Saint-Étienne	FRA	Secure
Puel was only appointed in October so will likely be given time to build his own side in St Etienne.
	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.
	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 are enjoying an excellent season and with Champions League football a real option, Gourcuff is working wonders.
	Thomas Tuchel	PSG	FRA	Secure
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.
	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.
	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.
	Paco López	Levante	ESP	Secure
Levante are performing at precisely the level expected of them and on a tight budget, Lopez is doing fine.
	Javier Calleja	Villarreal	ESP	Secure
Villarreal boast an extremely talented squad and Calleja is managing to get a tune from them most weeks.
	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.
	Diego Simeone	Atletico Madrid	ESP	Secure
After everything Simeone has achieved, it is likely he would only leave Atletico on his own terms.
	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.
	Imanol Alguacil	Real Sociedad	ESP	Secure
Real Sociedad display superb attacking football and Alguacil has enjoyed a confident 12 months in charge.
	Albert Celades	Valencia	ESP	Secure
One of the least secure jobs around, Celades has done reasonably well since his appointment, but Champions League football is the priority.
	Javier Aguirre	Leganés	ESP	Secure
The veteran Aguirre only took over in November but recent results have given his team a real chance of staying up.
	Zinedine Zidane	Real Madrid	ESP	Secure
Zidane's perfect cup record and ability to steady the club through a difficult transition year has bought him time - for now.
	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.
	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.
	Paulo Fonseca	Roma	ITA	Secure
Hard to know with Roma but with the team well in the hunt for the Champions League, Fonseca will be given the chance to get them there.
	Roberto D'Aversa	Parma	ITA	Secure
Like Liverani at Lecce delivered Parma back to Serie A and his team are enjoying a superb campaign.
	Claudio Ranieri	Sampdoria	ITA	Secure
Ranieri has dragged Sampdoria from a doomed position to being clear of relegation and having upward momentum.
	Leonardo Semplici	SPAL	ITA	Secure
The long-time figurehead of the small club, Semplici has masterminded their improbably rise and despite them sitting bottom of the table, is unlikely to be under threat.
	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.
	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.
	David Wagner	Schalke	DEU	Very Secure
Has transformed Schalke from relegation candidates to European challengers and has spent very little doing so.
	Jürgen Klopp	Liverpool	GBR	Very Secure
Probably the most secure job in world football.
	Arteta	Arsenal	GBR	Very Secure
Arteta has only just arrived and will be given as much time as he needs to create some kind of pattern in Arsenal's play.
	Graham Potter	Brighton	GBR	Very Secure
Potter has just recently signed a new deal until 2025. He's going nowhere.
	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.
	Brendan Rodgers	Leicester City	GBR	Very Secure
Leicester are in love with Rodgers and the young team he is building. The only way he will leave is if he chooses to.
	Chris Wilder	Sheffield Utd	GBR	Very Secure
A project manager who is watching the fruits of his labour develop beautifully. Going nowhere.
	Julien Stéphan	Stade Rennais	FRA	Very Secure
Stephan is a bright young coach with an exciting team who are just behind Marseille and PSG in the standings.
	Stéphane Moulin	Angers	FRA	Very Secure
Moulin's men are massively exceeding expectations this season and are in the hunt for Europa League football.
	André Villas-Boas	Marseille	FRA	Very Secure
Performing an outstanding job at l'OM to even try to keep pace with PSG, AVB has breathed new life into this huge club.
	Pepe Bordalás	Getafe	ESP	Very Secure
Bordalas and Getafe continue to confound budget and stature to ride high among La Liga's established forces.
	Gian Piero Gasperini	Atalanta	ITA	Very Secure
An unsung hero taking a flamboyant, attacking Atalanta side to new levels every week.
	Simone Inzaghi	Lazio	ITA	Very Secure
Performing a fantastic job domestically and giving Lazio an outside chance of a title tilt.
	Antonio Conte	Inter	ITA	Very Secure
Has turned an inconsistent Inter side into unquestionable title contenders.
	David Moyes	West Ham	GBR	Unknown
He won't be sacked this season, given his recent appointment, but impossible to know what West Ham have planned for Moyes long-term.
