The Scariest Jobs Chart In Sports Comes From English Soccer

Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League fired their manager, Andre Villas-Boas after the club's embarrassing 5-0 loss to Liverpool this past weekend. This move continues a trend that shows just how little job security there is in English soccer.

Since the start of the season, 25% of Premier League clubs (5 of 20) have changed managers and the season is not yet to the mid-way point. Overall, more than half of the managers (11) have been at the helm of their current club less than a year and only one (Arsene Wegner of Arsenal) has been with his current club for more than three years (data via SportingIntelligence.com).
