The hottest seat at the moment is probably his.
Just above the relegation zone in the league, Leeds is struggling to convince this season and the German coach could pay the price.
Many English media outlets, including the highly reputable Guardian, report that the manager’s job is on the line in the coming matches, especially the one against Liverpool this weekend.
Although Daniel Farke has restored some credit by beating Chelsea (3-1), Brendan Rodgers is already being mentioned as a possible successor.
Luis Castro - Nantes

After another heavy defeat against Lyon (3-0), Luis Castro’s future at Nantes is in question.
The Canaries are currently 16th in Ligue 1, level on points with Metz, the first team in the relegation zone.
However, according to L'Équipe, the Nantes management is not expected to make any decisions about their coach before the holidays.
Arne Slot - Liverpool

Although he bought himself some time with the win at West Ham (0-2), the Dutch coach remains under pressure.
The draw his team scraped against Sunderland (1-1) is a reminder that his foundation remains fragile and could collapse at any moment.
Liverpool has lost nine of its last 13 matches in all competitions (three wins, one draw).
Carlos Corberan - Valencia

After a solid first season with Valencia, Carlos Corberan is struggling more this season and is only two points above the relegation zone.
The club from Spain’s eastern coast can take some comfort in a more manageable schedule ahead. Valencia has already faced many of the league’s heavyweights this season (Real, Barça, Villarreal, Bilbao, Betis...)
However, the coming weeks will be crucial for a club that managed to stabilize around the Top 10 in the previous two seasons. The Copa del Rey match against Cartagena (third division) will be watched very closely.
Christophe Pélissier - Auxerre

Already under pressure a month ago, the Auxerre coach has probably not achieved the results he wanted since then.
Beaten at Angers, held to draws by Lyon and Paris FC, AJ Auxerre is not making progress and remains stuck at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table.
Despite often playing attractive football, Auxerre struggles to convert their chances and pays a heavy price for it. With just one goal in their last six matches, AJA is still searching for a win since September 21.
