Premier League 2019-20: 4 managers who need quick results to keep their job safe

#2. Nuno Espirito Santo (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Nuno Espirito Santo

This is a long shot and I could probably be way off with this, but Nuno Espirito Santo and Wolves do have a long and tough season ahead of them - particularly because they have to play in the Europa League as well.

After finishing an impressive 7th in their first season back in the Premier League, Wolves have set a very high benchmark for this season. And Nuno is going to have a tough time matching that or probably even doing better than last season.

The start of this season has certainly not gone the way they wanted, with Wolves the only other team apart from Watford not to register a win so far. Part of the reason for their disappointing start to the season could be that their players had to go through three rounds of qualifying to get to the group stage of the Europa League. And I feel that playing in the Europa League could be the cause of their downfall this season.

Wolves did spend a lot of money over the summer and they have a huge squad. But with the players not accustomed to playing Thursday night football followed by a match over the weekend, they could struggle this season.

It happened to Burnley last season and could very well happen to Wolves as well. And if their Premier League form does not improve soon, Nuno could get the sack by January.
