The Premier League manager tipped to be sacked first in the 23/24 season has been revealed.
In the 22/23 season, a new record was set after 14 managers were sacked during what was a truly unforgettable campaign.
Scott Parker was the first to be axed after Bournemouth lost 9-0 against Liverpool at Anfield.

Whilst Chelsea, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur sacked two managers each during their dismal campaigns.
Ahead of the 23/24 season, Sky Bet have released odds for the next Premier League manager to go. Here are the top five candidates to be axed first. Odds are correct on the day of writing.
Julen Lopetegui - Wolverhampton Wanderers - 4/1
Advert
Wolves manager Lopetegui is the 4/1 favourite to lose his job despite taking the team from 20th to a respectable 13th place.
Wolves are yet to bring in any big signings after losing Ruben Neves to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Paul Heckingbottom - Sheffield United - 5/1
Narrowly missing out as the favourite is Sheffield’s Heckingbottom, who did well to bring the club back to the Premier League.

Without big investment, it will be a tough job to keep the Blades in the top flight beyond next season.
Steve Cooper - Nottingham Forest- 9/1
During the 22/23 season, Cooper was reportedly close to being sacked but managed to hang on.

In the end, the decision to stick by the Welshman was correct as Forest finished in 16th place.
Andoni Iraola - Bournemouth - 10/1
Last month, Bournemouth sent shockwaves across the Premier League by sacking manager Gary O’Neil.
In his place is Iraola, who previously managed Spanish side Rayo Vallecano, the pressure will be on the Spaniard from the moment the season gets underway.
David Moyes - West Ham United - 10/1
Advert
Despite winning the Europa Conference League for West Ham last season, Moyes is still amongst the favourites to be sacked first in the 23/24 season.
Moyes will be hoping the Declan Rice transfer is completed as soon as possible in order to bring in reinforcements ahead of the new season.
