Open season on coaches: Third EPL manager sacked in 12 days
"... Watford have announced they have sacked ... Quique Sanchez Flores following a poor run of results.
Flores, who was reappointed in September for a second spell in charge, is the second manager to be sacked by the club this season after they let go of Javi Gracia four games into the campaign.
...
Watford have not named a replacement but said an announcement was imminent with British media reporting that former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton was the leading candidate."

Flores was appointed as Watford manager for a second stint in early September (after the season began) and only lasted 12 matches.
Managerial sackings are coming in thick and fast now. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Their salaries are so high, I'd be totally fine with getting sacked within half a season. |

Arsenal 1-2 Brighton
" Not since 1977 have things been this bad at Arsenal.
The struggling Gunners slumped to a 2-1 home loss to Brighton in the Premier League on Thursday, taking the team's winless streak to nine games in all competitions — its worst run in 42 years."

Everton sack Marco Silva
BBC:
"One of the early candidates to succeed Silva is reported to be his compatriot, Shanghai SIPG's Vitor Pereira.
Former striker Duncan Ferguson has been put in temporary charge and will manage the side against Chelsea on Saturday.
The club said they aim to appoint a new manager "as swiftly as possible"."
Manager Games Wins Draws Losses Win percentage
David Moyes 427 173 123 131 40.5%
Roberto Martinez 113 43 34 36 38.1%
Ronald Koeman 47 19 12 16 40.4%
Sam Allardyce 24 9 7 8 37.5%
Marco Silva 53 19 11 23 35.9%
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47195701
Reuters:
"British media reported former Everton boss David Moyes is favourite to replace Silva.
Moyes, who had a successful 11-year stint in charge at Goodison Park from 2002-13, is expected to be joined by former Socceroos midfielder Tim Cahill as part of his coaching staff."
Telegraph:
"Vitor Pereira has emerged as Everton’s first-choice to become their new manager ... The highly-regarded 51-year-old is keen to move to the Premier League and is believed to also be on Arsenal’s radar having previously been considered by Chelsea.
...
Pereira is currently one of the highest-paid managers in world football earning €23million a year but clearly will not receive anywhere near that salary at Everton. He is also a serial winner having won league titles in Portugal, back-to-back titles with Porto, in Greece with Olympiakos and in China where he guided Shanghai SIPG to their first ever league title. Pereira has also coached in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Pereira was interviewed by Everton before the appointment of Roberto Martinez in 2013 but did not get the job at that time partly because he did not have a grasp of English. But he now speaks the language fluently."

Four managers sacked in 16 days.
Just our luck that we play Everton after they sacked their manager. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

"Asked about the job vacancies at both Bayern Munich and Arsenal, Pochettino responded by saying: ‘It’s important to have a moment of calm to lower the decibels and find the energy to take on a new project, and we’ll see where that is.’ "

It's never been so hard to find the right manager - an 'unknown' like Arsene Wenger would never get the Arsenal job now
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/12/06/never-hard-find-right-manager-unknown-like-arsene-wenger-would/
"We seem to be in the midst of a managerial crisis in European soccer. In the Premier League, three clubs are searching for a new coach, none of them appearing to be certain who or what they are looking for.
...
At the top of La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid’s head coaches were once the most coveted and established in the world. Now Ernesto Valverde and Zinedine Zidane always appear to be a European defeat from the sack.
In Germany, Bayern Munich are persisting with an interim coach as they continue headhunting after dismissing Niko Kovac, while Borussia Dortmund’s manager, Lucien Favre, is reportedly on the brink.
In Italy, the managers competing for the title – Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri – were sacked by Chelsea amid harsh, personal criticism.
Even the most recognised international managers – Didier Deschamps and Joachim Low – are rarely touted for Champions League clubs.
...
Excellence is out there. There are more qualified coaches than before. But the number of big clubs now outnumbers the number of big-name managers.
Who are the truly big-name managers in 2019? Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and former Juventus coach Max Allegri are the most desirable. Beyond them, you have those who were considered at the top of their game a few years ago – such as Napoli’s Carlo Ancelotti – or an emerging talent such as RB Leipzig’s Julian Nagelsmann.
...
[Rodgers] was a very good coach at Liverpool, losing his job after a deterioration following Luis Suarez’s sale, allied to Klopp’s availability. Rather than judge him against those mitigating circumstances, too many owners – and supporters – stick to negative perspectives because of a poor season, ignoring the impressive work that earned him one of the biggest jobs in the world at such a young age. Every manager will go through a tough period – even the very best. It does not mean they will not succeed elsewhere.
...
The qualities admired when a manager is winning become the stick to beat him with when he is losing. The much-needed disciplinarian in victory swiftly becomes the joyless, cold figure in defeat; the once inventive training-ground drills are reported as repetitive and lacking tactical variation after a few losses. And managers hailed for their motivational speeches upon arrival are informed that their players ‘‘need to hear a new voice’’ after a couple of seasons." |

M. Lynch (in article on Ange P.):
"Still, history suggests that he would be wise to think seriously about his next career move; all that glitters, especially in Europe, may not be gold.
Trigger-happy chairmen, entitled supporter groups and players who are quick to make their displeasure known about their coach if things are not going their way abound.
And there is a chauvinism in the European game that does not exist elsewhere as far as coaches are concerned, particularly in England.
While Arsene Wenger was plucked from the J-League to manage Arsenal in 1996, the game was very different.
Bob Bradley, an American coach who had had great success with the US national team and in club football in the MLS was hired by Swansea City, then in the Premier League, in October 2016 – and sacked less than three months later." |

"Napoli joined Liverpool in advancing from Group E with a 4-0 win over Genk but fired its manager, Carlo Ancelotti, after the match. Ancelotti’s job had been in jeopardy for weeks; Tuesday’s result ended a winless run of nine matches over all for Napoli, but Italian news media reports suggested the former A.C. Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso would replace Ancelotti."

"New Watford manager Nigel Pearson says they will need a "collective buy-in from everybody" to stay in the Premier League.
...
"This strikes me as a club with an identity that maybe we need to redefine on the pitch."
...
Pearson has got previous form in pulling clubs out of trouble having done so with Leicester in 2014-15. The Foxes spent between late November and early April at the foot of the Premier League before eventually finishing 14th after a remarkable late run.
They went on to win the league the following season under Claudio Ranieri."
