Roberto De Zerbi has seen his odds of being dismissed next in the Premier League suddenly slashed.

The Tottenham Hotspur manager has overseen a dreadful start to the 2026-27 campaign, with the club yet to score, let alone win a match in the Premier League.

As a result, the 47-year-old is already under heavy pressure at the North London club, despite spending over £300million on transfers this summer.

Now, one UK bookmaker has placed the odds on De Zerbi being sacked next down to 11/4.

Therefore, the manager is now the second-favourite to leave next in the Premier League, with only Alvaro Arbeloa above him.

This comes after former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider that De Zerbi could be sacked in November if results do not turn around.

Given the money that De Zerbi has spent this summer, he has no excuse not to get results at Spurs.

While he did take over a poor side, he has been given the funds to dramatically improve all areas of the pitch.

However, after three games, Spurs appear no better, despite having a solid opening few fixtures.

Now, with Everton on the horizon, a result is more important than ever.

If Tottenham go into the international break without a victory in the Premier League, De Zerbi may not be at the club for much longer.

Who is currently in the Premier League sack race?

As it stands, Fulham boss Arbeloa is the clear favourite to leave his job next, at 6/4.

Like De Zerbi, the former Real Madrid manager has had a woeful start to the season and is already under massive pressure.

Unai Emery is the third-favourite to leave next at 11/2. The Aston Villa boss has struggled in the Premier League this season after many of his stars from the last campaign were sold in the summer transfer window.

Potential outsiders to depart are Gary O’Neill at Ipswich Town and Oliver Glasner at Nottingham Forest, who are both 9/1.

The chances of no manager leaving his post in the Premier League this season are seen as incredibly slim at 100/1.
