ESPN Ranks Premier League Managers by Job Security in New "Hot Seat Index"
The sports outlet has published a ranking of all 20 Premier League clubs assessing which head coaches face the greatest risk of dismissal this season.
ESPN has published a feature titled "Hot Seat Index: Which Premier League managers will be fired first?" in which it ranks all 20 Premier League clubs based on the perceived job security of their head coaches, according to the outlet.
The article, published on ESPN's website, frames the Premier League as "a constant carousel of coaches being fired and hired," and sets out to identify which managers are considered safe in their positions and which are viewed as most vulnerable to being dismissed, per ESPN.
Managerial turnover has long been a feature of English top-flight football, with clubs frequently changing head coaches in response to poor results, boardroom pressure or shifts in ownership. ESPN's ranking exercise reflects ongoing public and media interest in tracking which managers might lose their jobs as the season progresses.
Further specifics of ESPN's rankings, including the criteria used to assess each club and the order in which teams were placed, were not detailed beyond the outlet's introductory framing of the piece.
The full rankings and analysis for each of the 20 Premier League clubs are available via ESPN's original report.
