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

Craig Shakespeare

Until recently, Leicester City have been brought back down to earth with a sizeable bump and found themselves battling for safety down the lower end of the table.

However, under new boss Craig Shakespeare, the team looks revitalised and are starting to show glimpses of the pure class that they oozed last season.

The new manager quickly made an impact by becoming the first English boss to win his first four Premier League games, which is a feat that has only been matched by Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink, Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola.

The 53-year-old made this five back-to-back victories after beating bottom of the table Sunderland on Tuesday evening and has also guided the club to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Despite this, Leicester have shown with the sacking of Ranieri – the man who led them to Premier League glory last season – that they can be ruthless in their decision making.

His contract ends at the close of the season and there are no current plans to extend this. Shakespeare should be careful about what his future could hold.
