Premier League sack race: The managers who have lost their jobs this season as pressure mounts on Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea

The pressure is mounting on Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea

Maurizio Sarri is feeling the pressure at Chelsea following Monday’s drab FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

The Italian only took over from Antonio Conte last summer but a string of poor results and question marks over his tactics have seen him come into the firing line.

Chelsea are notorious for being cut-throat with their managerial position and Sarri could only have a few games left to convince the club’s bigwigs that he is the right man.

The Blues face Malmo in the Europa League tomorrow before Sunday’s Carabao Cup final clash with Manchester City, the team they lost 6-0 to just a couple of weeks ago.

As well as Sarri, Marco Silva’s underwhelming start to life at Everton has seen his future be called into question while Leicester boss Claude Puel has also been feeling the heat.

There were a total of 13 managerial changes throughout last season with the likes of West Ham, Southampton and Crystal Palace all opting to start afresh mid-campaign.

Here’s who has lost their jobs so far in the 2018/19 season.
