Top 5: Premier League managers to be out of a job next season

Slaven Bilic

Slaven Bilic has recently received the backing of the West Ham United board in his ability to lead the club, but will not yet be offered a new contract because of the worrying run of form.

The Croatian has one year to run on his current deal and remains popular amongst fans. The Hammers find themselves just five points above the relegation zone and have lost their five previous Premier League games.

The game against Swansea on Saturday will now be a crucial indicator as to whether his side will be dragged into the relegation battle and could mean that his side have picked up just two points in their last eight games.

Arguably, Bilic is not entirely to blame as he has had a lot of problematic things to deal with during his time at the club, including moving to the new stadium and new signings not quite living up to their expectations.

Should he wish to continue at the club and receive an extension to his current deal, there needs to be a real significant improvement in results going forward.
