Ahead of the Boxing Day period, four Premier League managers are announced in the hot seat. Among them, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, from Chelsea, have every interest in recording positive results during the next days of the championship.
The month of December got off to a bad start for Premier League managers. Two weeks ago, Sheffield United parted ways with Paul Heckingbottom. And this Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, currently 17th and first non-relegation, pushed Steve Cooper towards the exit. So, who’s next ? Before the Boxing Day period, during which the sequence of matches can push teams into difficulty, the Daily Mirror sees four technicians in the hot seat.

Our colleagues obviously cite Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. The Red Devils are finishing a very complicated first part of the season. After 17 days, the Mancuniens only occupy seventh place in the Premier League, after finishing last in their group in the Champions League behind Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
And to make matters worse, Erik ten Hag, obviously criticized for the poor results and the poor quality of the game offered, is also singled out for his management. The man who pushed Cristiano Ronaldo towards the exit wants to impose a certain discipline internally. He who refuses to reinstate attacking midfielder Jadon Sancho into the group without an apology from the England international, who had accused the technician of having dismissed him for extra-sporting reasons.
Pochettino in danger at Chelsea
Note that the arrival of Jim Ratcliffe, future boss of the sports sector, will weigh on its future. Mauricio Pochettino was chosen by the current management at Chelsea. But the Blues manager can only be threatened to the extent that his results are not in line with the enormous expenditure made on recruitment. Finally, the English press also cites the names of Vincent Kompany, 19th with Burnley, and Roy Hodgson, whose Crystal Palace team currently occupies 15th position. The bets have been made.
