Dead man walking

This refers to a manager who everyone knows will soon be sacked; will soon be fired. He will soon lose his job.

  • Example: Steve MacClaren was a dead man walking as soon as England lost to Croatia
  • Example: Jose Mourinho appears to be a dead man walking at Real Madrid after dropping Spanish captain Iker Casillas
