The axe fell on Sunday evening in Valencia<\/a>. Bottom of La Liga<\/a> with four defeats and one draw, Los Che became the first La Liga club to sack their manager, Carlos Corber\u00e1n. Sporting director Ron Gourlay was also shown the door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This swift dismissal gives us a chance to take an initial look at the managers already sacked across Europe\u2019s five major leagues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Number of sackings so far:<\/strong> 1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On Sunday afternoon, Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/a> sacked Eugen Polanski after three defeats in their first three Bundesliga matches. Die Fohlen are second from bottom in the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Number of sackings so far:<\/strong> 1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On September 6, Fiorentina<\/a> dismissed their new head coach, Fabio Grosso, after three defeats in the opening three Serie A matchdays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Number of sackings so far:<\/strong> 1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rock bottom of the Spanish top flight with four defeats and one draw from five matches, Valencia CF parted ways with Carlos Corber\u00e1n on Sunday evening. Oscar S\u00e1nchez will take charge on an interim basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Number of sackings so far:<\/strong> 0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n No manager in the English top flight has been sacked so far, but Fulham\u2019s new manager \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa (three defeats in four matches) and Frank Lampard (four defeats in four matches with Coventry) are the frontrunners in the \u201csack race\u201d, meaning the coaches most likely to be shown the door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Given that English clubs tend to make these decisions during the international break, it would not be surprising if one of those two managers were relieved of his duties in late September or early October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Number of sackings so far:<\/strong> 0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Zero movement in Ligue 1 dugouts after four matchdays. Olivier Pantaloni is the manager seen as most likely to be sacked. Appointed by Nice<\/a> this summer after two strong seasons at Lorient, the Riviera coach was put under even more pressure by the defeat at Auxerre, which left his side winless at the start of the season (two defeats and two draws).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
