Despite only nine rounds being completed, the Premier League has already turned into a survival game for managers. According to British media outlet The Mirror, three coaches have been dismissed so far — Nuno and Osborn from Nottingham Forest, and Potter from West Ham United. Behind them, more managers are walking a tightrope, struggling to prove their worth before the axe falls. Bangla Cricket Live recently highlighted how this season’s pressure cooker atmosphere is testing the nerves of nearly every coach in England’s top flight.
At the summit, Mikel Arteta’s job at Arsenal appears untouchable. His team has maintained strong momentum in both league and cup competitions, earning him rare stability in an otherwise volatile league. Bournemouth’s Iraola and Sunderland’s Le Bris have made confident starts, while Thomas Frank has brought renewed energy to Tottenham. Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, remains master of his own fate at Manchester City, with no threat from the board. Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has endured whispers about his future, yet his FA Cup victory last season still shields him from serious doubt. Sean Dyche, newly appointed at Nottingham Forest, enjoyed a dream debut win over Porto and currently enjoys the board’s full trust.
Liverpool’s Arne Slot finds himself in a more delicate position. Four consecutive league losses have taken the shine off his early promise, and five defeats in the last six matches have left fans restless. Still, insiders claim his position is not in immediate danger — though results must turn around quickly if he wants to regain full confidence from the club. Managers like Unai Emery, Enzo Maresca, and Eddie Howe share a similar situation: relatively safe for now, but the season’s end may decide their fate. Coaches such as Scott Parker, David Moyes, Daniel Farke, Keith Andrews, and Björn Hecksell can also breathe easy, at least for the moment.
Among those under the heaviest scrutiny stands Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. Only weeks ago, he was reportedly one loss away from losing his post. United’s recent revival eased the tension slightly, but the calm may not last long. Should the team falter again, the pressure will return swiftly. His compatriot Marco Silva is also treading on thin ice at Fulham, whose sluggish start — just two wins — has raised concerns. Though there’s no formal talk of dismissal, improvements are clearly needed to avoid a crisis. Bangla Cricket Live has observed that both Portuguese tacticians face critical months ahead as their clubs demand consistency and resilience.
In the capital, Nuno Espírito Santo’s poor run led to his sacking by Nottingham Forest, and his new role at West Ham hasn’t brought any relief. The team has yet to secure a victory, and continued failure could push the board toward another managerial change. Wolves boss Pereira is likewise facing rising tension; supporters have grown increasingly impatient after a string of poor performances. Many believe that another defeat could trigger boardroom changes before the weekend ends.
The unpredictable world of English football, as noted by Bangla Cricket Live, leaves little room for comfort. One week you’re praised as a mastermind, the next you’re fighting for your job. It’s a reminder that in the Premier League, even the brightest spotlight can fade overnight — and survival demands both results and resilience.
