In the past few days, there have been reports of EPL managers being sacked. First, it was Enzo Maresca of Chelsea then a few days later, it was Ruben Amorim of Manchester United. The reason for the sack is due to the fact that the second part of the season is about to start and the EPL managers have shown a slow start to the season.
Well, other managers have also had a slow start to the EPL 2025/2026 season. As a result, they lead the line of getting sacked in the next few days. In this post, you’ll be reading about four EPL managers that could get sacked before the end of the 2025/2026 EPL season. You’ll get to see statistics of their performance and why they could be sacked.
EPL Managers That Could Get Sacked Before The End Of 2025/2026 Season
These are the EPL managers that could get sacked before the end of the 2025/2026 season:
1. Arne Slot (Liverpool)
There’s no doubt that Arne Slot’s first season at Liverpool was nothing short of success. He helped Liverpool win their 20th EPL title in his first season.
In fact, with this win, he became the seventh EPL manager in Premier League history to win the EPL title in his first season. However, his second season has been short of his first season. In the 2025/2026 alone, Liverpool have had a reduced winning rate of only 51%.
Even in the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool have experienced a drop of points in important games too. The final nail on the coffin was the match against Leeds United which further reduced his team’s chances of winning the EPL.
With all of this happening, it is hard to see Arne Slot being Liverpool’s manager beyond this season. This is because Liverpool’s board and supporters are used to sustained excellence.
So, you’ll agree with the poor league campaign and underperformance in Europe, the Liverpool board might be looking at somebody else to take over. Along with this, recent headlines have also noted that a lack of intensity from the team could even lead to his sack sooner than later.

2. Rob Edwards (Wolves)
It is true that Rob Edwards inherited a team that was already struggling in the Premier League. However, for the Wolves board, that may not be an excuse anymore for him if he fails to show results in the next matches.
According to statistics, Wolves have really struggled badly since Rob Edwards took over. In fact, in his last five EPL matches, he has only won once while conceding over 9 goals across those matches. To the Wolves board, this figure shows that Rob Edwards might not be the man that can deliver them out of the relegation zone.
Furthermore, Rob Edwards previous Premier League experience with Luton Town was one where he led them to relegation. In his tenure, his team conceded 85 goals and only had six wins from 38 matches.
With all of this evidence, it seems that Rob Edwards has not learnt from his previous experience and is looking to led Wolves in that same path.
When Wolves hired Rob Edwards, they must have thought that he would be able to lead them out of the relegation zone due to his experience with Luton Town. Well, it seems that they might have been mistaken. All indicators prove that if Rob Edwards continue in this path, he may be shown the exit door at Wolves.
3. Nuno Espírito Santo (WestHam)
Nuno Espirito Santo was employed as West Ham manager to take over from Graham Potter. But, it seems that he is taking the same path that Graham Potter took that led to his path. In Nuno Espirito Santo first 15 games with West Ham this season, he has managed to win twice in these matches. As a result, the team is stuck in the relegation zone with little hopes of making it out.
This poor form showed by Nuno Espirito Santo has left fans of West Ham clamouring for his resignation. In their defense, they have said that it is better for Nuno Espirito Santo to resign now that there is still time than wait when it is too late.
The fans are indeed frustrated and reports have suggested that the West Ham board have given Nuno Espirito Santo a period of some matches to win games. According to the reports, failure to win these games could result in his sack.
4. Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
Daniel Farke has earned his place as one of Leeds United most reputable managers. He was responsible for leading Leeds United from the English Championship league back to the Premier League.
So, the respect that has been attached to his name is worth it. Despite earning the respect of his fans, Daniel Farke job might still be in danger if he doesn’t perform soon.
The reason for this is because Leeds United have only been able to secure one win in the last five Premier League matches. With this record, Daniel Farke have found himself in a pressured situation.
It has been reported that his style of play is quite slower than the approach of several EPL teams. As a result, he has been unable to live up to the expectations that was set for him. It is safe to say that if Leeds United get the needed points to stay above relegation in the next few games, the Daniel Farke might just he on his way out of Leeds United.
Conclusion
Football can be very brutal. Yes, without being able to lead your team to victory could come with some disastrous effect. One of those effects is being sacked. The post above have given a thorough analysis of EPL managers that could be sacked before the end of the EPL 2025/2026 season.
