Premier League sack race: The favourite to follow Dyche & Lopetegui
Published:
*** On April 7, Southampton announced that Ivan Juric had left his post as manager, with Danny Rohl the heavy favourite to take over at the end of the season ***
Everton and West Ham sacked Sean Dyche and Julen Lopetegui respectively, so Ladbrokes looks at the Premier League managers in the running to lose their job next
Six Premier League clubs have decided to sack their managers so far this season, and the latest odds suggest that Ruud van Nistelrooy of Leicester could be next on the chopping block.
Following a loss to Manchester City on April 2, Ruud has been installed as the favourite to be the next manager sacked this season.
Premier League sack race odds
Below are the odds for the managers to be the next Premier League boss sacked this season, with Ruud van Nistelrooy leading the way.
As noted, the bookies Leicester could be the next club to sack their manager, with the Foxes having picked up just 17 points from their opening 29 games. The side are in a real relegation fight, and could be on the lookout soon for a new manager to complete the 'great escape'.
Leicester have already sacked Steve Cooper this season, and the bookies think another managerial change could be on the cards at the King Power before this campaign concludes.
Interestingly, the bookies have Man City's Pep Guardiola at just 25/1 to lose his job next, given that the managerial legend is fighting for a top four place this season, rather than sitting at the top of the table as he has become used to.
With Southampton having sacked their manager not even half-way through the Premier League season, it's no surprise that the Saints are front-runners to get relegated to the Championship come May with one of the lowest points tallies in the competition's history as well.
