New Fulham boss Mark Hughes has been tipped by the bookmakers to keep the club up next season after being appointed as the successor to Roy Hodgson.
* Official: Fulham Appoint Mark Hughes As Manager on Two-Year Contract
Hughes, who was trading as low as 1.04 (1/25) yesterday on betting exchanges, has penned a two-year deal after the long-running saga was finally brought to an end. Many punters were stung badly by backing Martin Jol at a short price only for the Dutchman to do a last-minute U-turn and remain at Ajax.
Anyone who placed a stake on Hughes a week ago at odds of 5.0 (4/1) will be counting the profits as Fulham prepare to unveil their new man to the media later today.
The Cottagers are a short price to maintain their Premier League status at 1.05 (1/20), with 9.0 (8/1) on the Londoners getting relegated. Fulham are a long shot right now at 41.0 (40/1) to finish rock bottom and 26.0 (25/1) to be propping up the table at Christmas.
Goal.com's betting and odds expert David Mole says Hughes has a job on his hands to repeat his exploits with Blackburn Rovers.
"It will be interesting to assess the odds on him to repeat his top-six finish with Blackburn, but it will be a very different experience to his last days at Eastlands. Al Fayed is notoriously unwilling to splash his cash and Hughes to be managing Fulham in the Championship next season could be worth a punt at the right price!"
You'll get odds of 3.25 (9/4) on Hughes leading his new side to a top-10 finish in his debut season in charge. He's 15.0 (14/1) to win the manager of the month award for August with his new side rank outsiders at 101.0 (100/1) to be the top club from the capital and 1001.0 (1000/1) to win the league.
A decent stint at Fulham would see Hughes back in contention for the job at his old club Manchester United. 'Sparky' is 34.0 (33/1) to take over from his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
