Managerial pressure dominated the week in soccer. Celtic's Martin O'Neill faced mounting scrutiny after a second consecutive heavy defeat, this time to Ferencvaros, following a loss to Rangers, where Derek McInnes secured back-to-back Old Firm wins for the first time since 1986. Elsewhere, Manchester United's Michael Carrick shrugged off pressure after a historic EFL Cup collapse to Brighton, while Hibernian dismissed David Gray after six straight home league defeats. In contrast, stability was highlighted by Luis de la Fuente's contract extension with Spain through 2032, and Thomas Tuchel prepared to name his first England squad. Swansea's Vitor Matos also downplayed his team's strong start.
