In the Premier League, the pressure to succeed is intense for all involved. However, it is perhaps the managers who experience the greatest level of pressure. They are responsible for leading their teams to victory, managing player egos, and dealing with media scrutiny.
Every season, several managers lose their jobs due to poor results or perceived failures in achieving their team’s objectives. This has become an accepted part of the game, but it doesn’t make it any less brutal for those on the receiving end. The constant threat of being fired hangs over every manager’s head like a dark cloud, particularly those at struggling clubs that are fighting relegation or trying to break into Europe.
The last head that has rolled in the Premier is Patrick Vieira since Crystal Palace decided to part ways with the Frenchman.
“We are extremely sorry to have had to make this difficult decision, but the results of recent months have placed us in a precarious situation in the League. We feel a change is necessary to maintain our Premiership status,” said chairman Steve Parish.
Palace has fallen into a series of poor results with a run of 12 games without a win that puts it on the brink of the relegation zone.
When closely analyzing the team’s performance, worrying data is found; for example, it has three consecutive defeats and four games without scoring. In the games against City, Villa, and Liverpool, he did not even shoot on goal. On the other hand, it is the team that has scored the fewest goals in a play of the entire Premier, with only 9, while the remaining 12 have been from set pieces.
