Who is next on the chopping block?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019ve put together a list of the five Premier League managers who are most likely to leave their position next, according to the bookmakers\u2019 odds. <\/p>\n<p>All odds and betting statisics for this list have been taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betvictor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BetVictor<\/a> \u2013 as always, betting odds are subject to change.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arne Slot<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074682796\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot has been a recurring inclusion in our Sack Race lists this season. Despite largely underperforming throughout the campaign, the <a href=\"https:\/\/walkon.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> boss has managed to cling onto his position.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Slot\u2019s spot has become even more precarious than it was beforehand \u2013 a 4-0 defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup only added fuel to the fire. <\/p>\n<p>Slot is rated at 4\/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave their post. As things stand, the Reds are fifth in the league table, five points away from the Champions League spots.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eddie Howe<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074766518\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Eddie Howe has committed a cardinal sin at St. James\u2019 Park \u2013 he led Newcastle United to not one, but two defeats against bitter rivals Sunderland this season.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing in the top four last season, the Toon now find themselves 12th in the league table \u2013 due to this, Howe has found himself as a lightning rod for criticism. Currently, Howe is 4\/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave their respective club. <\/p>\n<p>The former Bournemouth coach has had a lengthy run at Newcastle, joining the club back in 2021. Is it time for a change?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scott Parker<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074700798\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Scott Parker has cut a isolated figure for well over six months at this point. Burnley\u2019s relegation has looked to be on the cards for a while now \u2013 the board have given Parker every chance to turn the ship around, but he has failed to do so.<\/p>\n<p>What worked for Burnley last season has not translated into the Premier League \u2013 furthermore, they have failed to adapt and have looked tactically directionless as a result. Parker is rated at 4\/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave. <\/p>\n<p>Will the Clarets hang onto Parker in hopes that he can lead another promotion campaign in the 2026\/27 Championship season? Whatever they might choose to do next, this has been a very disappointing year for Parker and Burnley.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liam Rosenior<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074449792\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>After a fairly promising start to life at Chelsea, the Blues\u2019 form has fallen off a cliff under the stewardship of Liam Rosenior.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have won just one of their last six Premier League games \u2013 furthermore, they\u2019re no longer in the Champions League after they were trounced by PSG over two legs.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues ran rampant over Port Vale in the FA Cup, but this did little to ease Chelsea fans\u2019 concerns \u2013 Rosenior is 4\/1 to be the next manager to leave.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oliver Glasner<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1073957249\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Oliver Glasner announced that he would leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season a few months ago. His stance is known, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean he will be the next Premier League manager to leave their position.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Glasner has odds of 7\/4 to be the next head coach to leave \u2013 indicating that the bookmakers think it is unlikely that there will be anymore manager departures before the conclusion of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a season of peaks and valleys for the Eagles \u2013 despite picking up some famous wins, they stand 14th in the league table. <\/p>\n<p>      <!-- Article End -->\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even at this late stage of the 2025\/26 Premier League season, we\u2019re still seeing managers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
