The first international break of the season is upon us , as players head off around the globe to represent their national teams.

Premier League action will not resume until October 10th.

Not all top-flight managers will be able to rest and relax during this period because of the fear of an early sacking.

Below we have listed a few names who could be dismissed before club football returns next month.

It would not be a surprise if De Zerbi’s reign ends during the international break.

Tottenham Hotspur sit bottom of the Premier League table after losing three and drawing two of their opening five fixtures.

The Lilywhites were supposed to be competing at the top end of the league after spending over £300 million to bring Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Savio and Jan Paul van Hecke.

The only thing keeping De Zerbi in the role might be the funds it would take to terminate the five-year contract he signed in April.
