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 very reputable Guardian, report that the manager's future will be at stake in the upcoming matches, especially the one against Liverpool this weekend.

Although Daniel Farke has regained some credit by beating Chelsea (3-1), Brendan Rodgers is already being mentioned as a possible successor.

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 a decision about their coach before the holidays.

Arne Slot - Liverpool

Although he has gained some respite with the victory at West Ham (0-2), the Dutch coach remains under pressure.

The draw his team secured against Sunderland (1-1) is a reminder that his structure remains fragile and threatens to collapse at any moment.

To recall, Liverpool has lost nine of its last 13 matches in all competitions (three wins, one draw).

Carlos Corberan - Valencia

After a strong first season with Valencia, Carlos Corberan is facing more difficulties this season and is two points away from the relegation zone.

The club from the eastern coast can still find some reassurance with a more manageable schedule ahead. The Valencians have already faced many of the league's big teams this season (Real, Barça, Villarreal, Bilbao, Betis...)

However, the upcoming weeks will be crucial for a club that has managed to stabilize around the Top 10 in the past two seasons. The Copa del Rey match against Cartagena (third division) will be closely watched.

Christophe Pélissier - Auxerre

Already under pressure a month ago, the Auxerre coach probably hasn't achieved the results he wanted since then.

Defeated by Angers, held to a draw by Lyon and Paris FC, AJ Auxerre is not progressing and remains stuck at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings.

Despite often interesting performances, the Auxerrois struggle to convert their scoring opportunities and pay dearly for it. With one goal in the last six matches, AJA is still searching for a victory since September 21.
