Thomas Tuchel could be in with the chance of a quick return to Premier League management as pressure ramps up on managers throughout the league.
With eight matches before the winter World Cup break for teams in European competition, there is a lot that could still happen to the table. And with momentum during these weeks key, plenty could change in the next month.
Teams that are struggling also have the incentive to make managerial decisions during the six weeks away from domestic football with extra time to get started for any new candidates. Although it would not be perfect, it is perhaps a better time to make changes than the winter schedule would usually permit.
