    • Arsene Wenger

    With Jurgen Klopp leaving Dortmund this Summer, very few managers in the upper echelon of English Soccer can consider themselves completely safe. While Wenger has been in charge at Arsenal since 1996, he could find himself out at the Emirates this summer.

    With Klopp having been linked to the Arsenal job for the last two seasons, his availability could force Arsenal to show their hand. If the Gunners really want Klopp, they will have no choice but to sack Wenger. Something that would be a shock if the club can win back-to-back FA Cup titles.

    Arsenal are also on track to finish second in the Premier League for the first time in a decade. With Wenger enjoying the most success he has had in years, his sacking could cause quite a stir around all of Europe.

    Brendan Rodgers

    Though the club was hampered by an awful start to the Premier League season, Brendan Rodgers has found a way to get his side back on track. Now sitting fifth in the table, Liverpool are likely to finish top five and qualify for the Europa League.

    However, no matter how strong the finish, Jurgen Klopp’s availability could tempt Liverpool into a change at the managerial position. Failing to qualify for the Champions League will also put a dent into Rodger’s chances of remaining at Anfield.

    Should Klopp sign with another club, I have no doubt Rodgers will return next season. However, as long as Klopp’s shadow lies over the Premier League, Rodgers job at Liverpool will hang in the balance.

    Tim Sherwood

    The Aston Villa manager has surely placed himself in the hearts of the club’s supporters. Defeating Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi-final has set up a face off against Arsenal in the final. While Arsenal will have the crowd at Wembley on their side, Aston Villa will be playing for their pride.

    The club is still in a relegation battle, sitting only four points ahead of eighteenth spot. Should Aston Villa suffer relegation, Sherwood’s tenure could be a short one.

    However, thanks to the side’s appearance in the FA Cup final, Sherwood may receive a reprieve. His future at Aston Villa still remains a toss up. Should Villa win the FA Cup, Sherwood will remain at the club for sure.

    Nigel Pearson

    Though Nigel Pearson was reportedly fired earlier in the season only for the club to come out and back Pearson as manager, his time with the club could be over soon.

    The club is off the bottom of the table for the first time since the 13th match day of the season, Leicester City will need a strong run to escape relegation this season. With remaining matches against Chelsea and Southampton, Leicester will need a strong run against it’s fellow bottom dwellers.

    With matches against fellow relegation threatened sides Burnley, Sunderland and QPR, their is a chance Leicester may survive with Pearson possibly remaining on as the club’s manager.

    Sean Dyche

    Though the club sits bottom of the table in the Premier League, Burnley’s chances of survival were never really that high. The fact that Sean Dyche managed to get the side into the Premier League is something that should help him survive.

    With very little money to spend, Dyche has done the best job he can with his current squad. Should Burnley manage to finish the season with a respectable run and get off the bottom of the table, Dyche will most likely return as manager.
