Will Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth departure speed up the managerial merry-go-round?

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Old Trafford side must decide whether to hand Michael Carrick the manager’s job on a permanent basis or look elsewhere.

Carrick impressively guided United to Champions League qualification but suffered his first home defeat of his time in charge against Leeds United on Monday.

Ratcliffe recently praised Carrick’s work as he replaced Ruben Amorim, another victim of January’s managerial cull, but when pressed on the prospect of him taking full-time control he said: “I’m not going there.”

The World Cup may still play a role in some clubs’ thinking.

Would the highly-rated Julian Nagelsmann, currently Germany manager, be tempted by United if they were put on the market after the World Cup?

It looks like Thomas Tuchel, who has already held talks with United, will be out of contention after extending his contract as England head coach – but good results at the World Cup could change things.

Liam Rosenior graduated from Chelsea’s multi-club ownership model when he replaced Maresca from Stasbourg.

The 41-year-old driver may still be like that in the future, but he increasingly looks like someone being asked to take his driving test behind the wheel of a Ferrari.

Rosenior faced widespread disdain when he said Chelsea players had gathered before the match against Newcastle United, absurdly surrounding referee Paul Tierney in the process to “respect the ball”.

Chelsea went on to lose the match and things have not improved since; He was eliminated from the Champions League by Paris St-Germain and lost 3-0 against Everton and Manchester City in his next Premier League matches.

The Stamford Bridge hierarchy has faith in Rosenior but given the poor results and performances as well as the discontent among the fans, Rosenior must hope that the club does not lose heart and maintains faith in him.

On Tyneside, Eddie Howe is coming under increasing scrutiny despite having guided Newcastle United to their first domestic trophy in 70 years and their first silverware in 56 years after beating Liverpool to win the Carabao Cup last season.

He also led Newcastle back to the Champions League but things are looking bad this season and Howe is another manager whose fate may depend on what happens in the rest of the season.

It’s clear that the £125m sale of striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool has huge knock-on effects; especially as the £69m transfer of German striker Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart and the £55m paid to Brentford for Yoane Wissa are money badly spent so far.

A sign of a panicked summer overshadowed by the Isak saga can be seen in the fact that Newcastle’s initial offer was just £25 million before paying £55 million for Wissa.

Howe has previously come under criticism from adoring fans for the Magpies’ 8-3 aggregate defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, followed by a home league derby loss to Sunderland and a double against the Black Cats’ fierce rivals.

This meant that despite his superb work, talking about Howe’s future was a lively conversation.

Howe has always been well attuned to fans’ emotions and insisted he would not overstay his welcome, with Newcastle currently sitting 14th in the Premier League.

Chief executive David Hopkinson did not take kindly to the speculation in an interview in March when he said Newcastle were “not considering making any changes at the moment”.

Howe still has the support of the club and will also have a key role to play when decisions are made later this season.

But whatever happens at Newcastle, it looks set to be a wild summer in the management market.
