Top of the Premier League and with the Capital One Cup already in the bag, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is surely the safest manager in the country right now.

19) Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool)

Despite a top four place not looking certain, Brendan Rodgers’ fine work at Liverpool surely means he is another manager in a very comfortable position going into this summer.

18) Arsene Wenger (Arsenal)

With another safe top four finish and possible FA Cup on the way, one would think Arsene Wenger’s position at Arsenal is even safer than usual, with the Frenchman often shown the utmost confidence by his board, even if not always by his fans.

17) Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham Hotspur)

A strong first season at White Hart Lane even if Champions League football is not secured, it’s hard to imagine Mauricio Pochettino won’t get more time at Tottenham.

16) Ronald Koeman (Southampton)

Despite a recent dip in form, Ronald Koeman’s work in his first season at Southampton has been exceptional and he should have little to worry about in terms of his job security this summer.

15) Mark Hughes (Stoke City)

A manager who has massively improved things since taking over at Stoke City, Mark Hughes is in a fairly comfortable position in his job this summer.

14) Alan Pardew (Crystal Palace)

Only recent appointed at Crystal Palace and doing a good job, Alan Pardew should continue as manager at Selhurst Park barring a disastrous end to this season.

13) Tony Pulis (West Bromwich Albion)

Another new manager who has turned things around for his club, West Brom’s Tony Pulis is surely in no danger of the sack anytime soon.

12) Garry Monk (Swansea City)

A promising young manager who has put Swansea in a comfortable mid-table position this season, Garry Monk probably has little to worry about at the Liberty Stadium.

11) John Carver (Newcastle United)

Only recently appointed, John Carver will probably see out this season as manager of Newcastle, though he is in line to be replaced in the summer.

10) Tim Sherwood (Aston Villa)

Recently appointed and doing a good job, Tim Sherwood should be fairly safe at Aston Villa, though relegation would surely throw his future into doubt.

9) Sean Dyche (Burnley)

Despite being highly regarded at Burnley, Sean Dyche must surely have something to think about with his side in the relegation zone.

8) Sam Allardyce (West Ham United)

Despite a great start this season, Sam Allardyce’s position at West Ham is not so secure after a recent dip and never quite endearing himself to the Upton Park faithful.

7) Louis van Gaal (Manchester United)

With a top four place not certain and another season without silverware confirmed, Louis van Gaal is under growing pressure at Manchester United after spending so much money.

6) Roberto Martinez (Everton)

Everton are known for being patient with their managers, but Roberto Martinez’s side have been surprisingly poor this season and are in danger of being dragged into a relegation fight.

5) Steve Bruce (Hull City)

Another side who have not really kicked on this season, Steve Bruce is probably not the most comfortable manager right now as he looks to steer Hull to safety.

4) Chris Ramsey (Queens Park Rangers)

Although he will possibly see out the season, Chris Ramsey is fighting a losing battle at QPR as relegation looks almost certain this season, meaning he is unlikely to last long.

3) Manuel Pellegrini (Manchester City)

After a shock defeat at Burnley to follow on from some incredibly poor form, Manuel Pellegrini is edging ever closer to the sack after a poor defence of the title from his Manchester City side.

2) Nigel Pearson (Leicester City)

Bottom of the table and looking like a man under pressure, Nigel Pearson could well be the next manager to go after an awful season with Leicester City.

1) Gus Poyet (Sunderland)

A 4-0 home defeat to Aston Villa may be the final nail in the coffin of the unpopular Gus Poyet, who has had a difficult time despite a promising start at Sunderland last season.
