Stoke City is facing disappointment with their recent performance, putting pressure on manager Narcis Pelach.
Pelach had his first permanent managerial role in English football with Stoke City, after being brought in from Norwich City as a first-team coach. However, the team has been struggling in the Championship, failing to secure a win since November.
Their latest defeat against Sheffield Wednesday has only added to the disappointment amongst the club hierarchy. Journalist Fraser Fletcher reports growing pressure on Pelach to turn things around quickly.
With tough matches against Leeds United, Sunderland, and Burnley coming up, Pelach’s job is not going to get any easier. The next three games are all against top-four teams in the Championship.
If Pelach can hold on until January 4th, Stoke City will have a chance to bounce back against Plymouth Argyle. Until then, the manager will have to work hard to improve their performance and earn some much-needed respite.
