Next Premier League Manager to Leave Odds

The Premier League season is soon upon us, as the top 20 teams in this country are set to renew rivalries and battle once again to become the best team in English football. Every season, managerial casualties become a customary occurrence, and sometimes managerial departures can occur at any moment.

Frank de Boer endured a terrible time in charge of Crystal Palace in the early stages of the 2017/18 campaign, as the Dutchman was sacked after four games in charge of the Eagles. Scott Parker is another example, where a manager's tenure can be cut short after he was dismissed early doors into the season as Bournemouth manager, when they suffered a 9-0 loss at Anfield in the 2022/23 campaign.

With the new campaign just around the corner, we take a look at the top six managers who are highly tipped to either leave or be removed from their posts during this campaign.

Daniel Farke had guided Leeds United back to the Premier League at the second time of asking, after the Peacocks were denied promotion in the playoff final at Wembley against Southampton in 2024. Leeds United secured their route back to the Premier League last season, with an emphatic league campaign that saw them accumulate 100 points, tied with runners-up Burnley.

The team from Yorkshire will be under pressure to perform, considering the substantial backing behind the scenes, which will elevate the pressure on Daniel Farke. Farke was rumoured to be leaving his post at Elland Road, considering the change in ownership, but the former Norwich City manager retained his post.

Farke has had experience in the Premier League, but his time with the Canaries was marked by two relegations and an unwanted streak of 15 consecutive losses across two Premier League seasons.

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris enjoyed a wonderful debut campaign in charge of the Black Cats, as during his first year in charge of the club, he managed to achieve promotion with the Wearside club. Sunderland's dramatic victory at Wembley against Sunderland back in May saw the side promoted to the Premier League after an eight-year spell in which they spent four of those seasons in League One.

This summer, the Black Cats have showcased their ambitions in the transfer market by signing the likes of Habib Diarra (RC Strasbourg), Simon Adingra (Brighton & Hove Albion) and Atletico Madrid left-back Reinildo Mandava. The club continues to be in reported talks with Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen.

The outlay in the transfer market will add increased pressure to Regis Le Bris, although a favourable run of West Ham (H), Burnley (A), Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (A) and Aston Villa (H) could be beneficial for the former FC Lorient manager.

Thomas Frank's departure from Brentford, following a long and successful tenure with the Bees, is likely to create some stability issues for the club, and the man they have turned to is set-piece coach Keith Andrews. Andrews enjoyed a distinguished playing career in the Premier League, featuring for clubs such as Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City, but this is his first senior managerial role.

Brentford's issues off the pitch on the managerial front have been accompanied by departures of their star players over the last two years. Ivan Toney departed for Al-Hilal in the summer of 2024, and this summer talisman Bryan Mbeumo has left for Old Trafford in a club record deal worth £71million. Yoane Wissa is likely bound for St.James' Park as Newcastle United seek a replacement for Alexander Isak.

Brentford's Premier League campaign begins with a trip to Nottingham Forest and an away trip to Sunderland, which will be seen as winnable games. Still, questions will be asked as to whether Keith Andrews can make a smooth transition into senior management.

Scott Parker's reputation in English football has been relatively mixed, as his performances in the Championship with Fulham, AFC Bournemouth, and currently with Burnley show that he is capable at that level. The main concern for Scott Parker is his performances as a manager in the Premier League, having suffered two relegations in charge of the Cottagers and the Cherries, respectively.

During his time at Fulham in the top flight, Parker's decision not to utilise Alexander Mitrovic brought much criticism from the outside world, and he ultimately could not save the club from relegation. At AFC Bournemouth, he guided the south coast side back to the Premier League in 2021/22 but departed acrimoniously following a record-equalling 9-0 defeat at Anfield.

This summer, Burnley has been outspent by their fellow promoted sides in the transfer market, and reportedly could be set to lose goalkeeper James Trafford, with Manchester City vying for his signature. The Clarets have sought to bring Premier League experience into their squad this season, with Kyle Walker joining from Manchester City.

Nuno Espirito Santo's Nottingham Forest side flirted with the prospect of UEFA Champions League football last season, but ultimately settled for a UEFA Europa League spot, taking Crystal Palace's place, which was vacated after the Eagles were demoted to the UEFA Europa Conference League.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager joined Nottingham Forest in December 2023 following the dismissal of Steve Cooper, and the 51-year-old has guided Nottingham Forest on a meteoric rise up the Premier League table. There will be added pressure this year, as the Reds will have to manage the multiple competitions, which could see the club slip down the Premier League table.

Nuno Espirito Santo could find himself under scrutiny from controversial owner Evangelos Marinakis, who confronted the former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager after a late draw against Leicester City towards the end of last season.

Manchester United suffered their worst-ever Premier League campaign last season under two managers, Erik ten Hag and current manager Ruben Amorim. The former Sporting Lisbon and Sporting Braga manager joined the Red Devils in November 2023, and the signs were optimistic early on. However, performances and the struggles of the Manchester United squad to adapt to Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 formation culminated in a 15th-place finish.

Manchester United's season relied on securing a UEFA Europa League triumph against Tottenham Hotspur. For the Reds, their 1-0 defeat to the North London side was the final nail in what was a disastrous season.

INEOS has strengthened Ruben Amorim's side, despite the club's perilous financial situation, by signing Premier League-quality players in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha from Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively.

The positive for Manchester United is that, the club will have no European football to concern themselves with, so their primary focus remains on the league and domestic cup competitions. Although with only the Premier League as the primary focus, pressure could mount if Manchester United suffer similar results, which led to their calamitous campaign last time out.
