A Some big-name managers could lose their jobs this season if their situations refuse to change

#3 Marco Silva (Everton)

Everton has failed to meet expectations this season.

With over €100 million spent in the summer to reinforce the team, it's disappointing that Everton do not look to be any better than before. The Toffees are currently in the relegation zone of the Premier League following their extremely slow start in the English top-flight - where they've earned a paltry seven points from eight games so far.

Losing five and drawing one out of their opening eight games is not a good start for a team that spent so much in the transfer market to begin the season. With the acquisition of Alex Iwobi, Moise Kean, Djibril Sidibe, Andre Gomes, and a host of other decent players during the summer, much was expected of this team.

But at this rate, Everton seem to be going way below par their expectations. As such, Marco Silva should be ready to spend some time out of job very soon if the results fail to turn up.

#2 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United)

The Norwegian continues to struggle at Old Trafford

This is a man whose first few games in charge of the club had people singing to the high heavens that the much-awaited replacement for the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson has finally landed at Old Trafford. But since then, everything has gone the other way.

Occupying the1 2th position in the Premier League table right now with nine points from eight games, the situation isn't satisfactory for the Red Devils faithful, who continue to pray for a miracle to save their season.

United began the term with a 4-0 victory over Chelsea that raised their expectations for the campaign. But, after seven games in the English top flight, the team does not seem to have any direction and a lot of people are already calling for Solkjaer's head.

Everyone knows that a club of United's stature won't tolerate mediocrity for long. If things continue as they are, it won’t be long before the 46-year-old finds himself packing his bags.
