Just four days ago, two of the Premier League team managers got sacked from their respective clubs following poor performances. Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers remained the two bottom clubs of premier league this season so far with really weak results from 16 matches.
Wolves could manage 9 points from their first 16 matches with 2 victories, 3 draws, and 11 defeats. Southampton’s record is even worse with only 5 points registered from 16 matches with only 1 win, 2 draws, and 13 defeats. Both of the managers got sacked from their clubs and new managers have been appointed.
Shaun Wright-Phillips Shares Shocking View On Who May Win The Next “Sack Race” of Premier League
These two may be the worst performing teams of the Premier League so far, but there are other teams which are not performing up to the mark either. English Football Legend Shaun Wright-Phillips recently spoke about the recent sacks made by the clubs and which manager may get sacked next. Speaking with Sports Casting UK, the former English International Shaun Wright-Phillips said;
“For clubs, it’s easy to sack a manager and get a new one. The Wolves case, I kind of get it, but I don’t think that Gary O’Neil was to blame.
“Wolves were quite good to watch when Cunha gets on the ball and the other players start playing around him. I think they’ve been unfortunate in terms of results, but in football that happens, and they are a team that can get out of that situation. A new manager can bring something fresh to the table and they have the quality to climb out of trouble.

“In terms of Southampton, you sack the manager with what game plan in mind? Because the chances are with the position they’re in, the Saints are nailed on to get relegated. So, you’re signing a manager with the view to go to the Championship? If you are, why didn’t you wait till the summer? Because inevitably you know you’re going down.
“Why don’t you take more time in that process to find the right manager? Of course, when the fans start saying they want him out, they want to change the atmosphere, they want to pick up a win, your position becomes untenable. I get that.

“There’ll be a few managers looking over their shoulder. If West Ham keep going the way they’re going, because I think Lopetegui got a little bit lucky when they won the other weekend, otherwise he would have been in the same position as O’Neill and Russell Martin. He would have been gone.” concluded Shaun Wright-Phillips
Ipswich Town is another club that is struggling right now, and they are also endangered for being in the relegation zone. But their manager Kieran McKenna is managing the club since 2021 and he also helped the club to get their first Premier League promotion in 21 years. This is also his first Premier League campaign, and he needs more experience. Hopefully, he doesn’t get sacked anytime soon.
