Five managers under pressure 🥶 | OneFootball

Overview of coaches in danger for the month of October.

Some clubs are experiencing a turbulent start to the season with poor results in the league or in Europe. So much so that some coaches are already on the hot seat.

This Thursday, we take stock of the coaches whose future is currently uncertain and who have a lot at stake in the coming weeks.

Rúben Amorim (Manchester United)

How long can the Portuguese coach of Manchester United withstand the pressure? Amorim has the worst win percentage at MU since World War II, and each poor performance brings him closer to the ejection seat.

The victory against Chelsea last weekend gives him a significant breather, but if Manchester loses again on Saturday at Brentford, the Portuguese could once again find himself in danger...

If there's one who is on the ejection seat, it's him! 18th in the Premier League with only one win in four matches, Graham Potter is far from his golden years at Brighton.

With two losses in five matches across all competitions, including an improbable defeat to Juventus (4-3) while Inter was leading in the 81st minute, the former defender is experiencing a complicated and contested start to his tenure.

Unaï Emery (Aston Villa)

It's not yet an emergency, but almost. After a difficult season saved by a good run in the Champions League, Unaï Emery's Aston Villa is struggling to restart.

Hampered by a difficult transfer market, the Villans have three points after five games and have yet to win a single match. The Spanish coach still enjoys some credit with the supporters and management, but as we know, in the Premier League, things can change very quickly...
