Several prominent European football clubs are facing mounting pressure as poor recent form threatens their league positions and sparks management changes.

Fortuna Düsseldorf has dismissed their coach with five matchdays remaining in the season, following a fourth consecutive defeat that has placed the German second-tier club directly in the relegation battle. The coaching change comes as the club attempts to salvage their campaign and avoid dropping to a lower division.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's relegation concerns have intensified following Roberto De Zerbi's debut match at Sunderland, where the team's struggles continued. The Premier League club's poor form has raised questions about their ability to maintain their top-flight status.

In Serie A, AC Milan is experiencing a crisis of form that threatens their Champions League qualification hopes. The Rossoneri suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Udinese on Saturday, marking their second consecutive loss and fourth defeat in their last seven league matches. This poor run has left Milan dangerously close to slipping to fifth place in the table.

The struggles across these clubs highlight the intense pressure facing teams in Europe's major leagues as they approach crucial phases of their respective seasons. With limited time remaining to address their form, each club faces critical decisions regarding their tactical approach and personnel in the coming weeks.
