Who's Getting Fired First?

Title says it all really. Which manager is going to be the first to lose his job (Donadoni doesn't count).

I'm going with the safe pick for now, Stefano Pioli. Zamp won't have the patience to allow Pioli to implement his new system, out by the beginning of November.

Stefano Pioli
Gasperini

I think there is a number of possible canidates.

The most obvious one is indeed Pioli given Zamp's track record...but I think he will surprise.

If Fiorentina stumbles out of the gate this year, I'm thinking Mihajlovic will be gone quick.

Conte could be gone also if Juve are mid table by Christmas, same goes with Luis Enrique...

Genoa had a disappointing year last year, esp after all the cash they splashed on (Toni, Rafina etc), I'm thinking they are looking for a better year, and if Malesani doesn't deliver he could be gone just like Ballardini..

No coach in Serie A has been at the helm for more than 2 years at the current location

Honestly it could legitimately be anyone

Whichever half dont get fired after this year will surely get fired after next at this rate

Pioli definitely will be the first manager to be sacked...Put money on it ..lol

Pioli, already knocked out of a competition and said in a press conference: "I will make my own choices and not take into account what others tell me".

Wrong words to say when Zamparini is your owner.

Should have made a poll for this

/facepalm

I was also thinking Mihajlovic, but Fiorentina are going through a number of changes so he may be given a little more time and patience than normal. As for Malesani, I actually think he's a very good coach. But Preziosi is another one who could go apeshit if he isn't happy.

Edit: Just put in a poll, had to leave half the coaches out though. I considered the rest to be reasonably safe: Bisoli, Di Carlo, Di Francesco, Reja, Allegri, Mazzarri, Tesser, Colomba, Sannino and Guidolin.

I'm going to say Luis Enrique-

He wont be given the time to develop Roma in his way- the fans and management wont be happy without instant results after the money they've spent and sheer class they've brought in this year.

Enrique is trying to bring in some very important ideas and I applaud him for it- higher fitness levels which will lead to Roma scoring crucial goals in the last few minutes of the game when the opponents are too tired, but I am not convinced by the style he's trying to bring.

It's hard to win in Serie A with that style- I think a combination style like that of Udinese would be great and hope if Enrique does not succeed that Roma can get Guidolin next season- he'd do really well at Roma.

Gasperini without a doubt.
