Next Manager Sacked Odds: Martin odds-on following Cooper sacking

Steve Cooper became the second managerial casualty of the 2024/25 Premier League season on Sunday after Leicester cut ties with the Welshman following their 2-1 loss to Chelsea on Saturday.

However, the cut-and-thrust nature of the Premier League means that few names are safe from the sack and there are a host of candidates at single-figure odds who could follow Cooper out the door.

Next Manager Sacked Odds: Favourites Analysed

Russell Martin @ 5/6

The pressure has been on Russell Martin almost from the get-go and the Southampton gaffer tops the Next Manager to Leave market with the Saints rock-bottom of the table after 12 games.

Martin masterminded Southampton's promotion from the Championship last season but his team needed 10 games to get off the mark in the top flight this season, eventually gaining a first win when they beat Everton 1-0 at the beginning of the month.

However, a subsequent 2-0 loss at Wolves, in which his team failed to post a shot on target, as well as a 3-2 loss to Liverpool, saw Martin shorten in the betting once again with many questioning whether his tactics are suitable for a relegation scrap.

Julen Lopetegui @ 13/8

West Ham supporters had high hopes for Julen Lopetegui following the Spaniard's summer appointment but an inconsistent run of results has left the London outfit in 14th place after 11 matches.

While the Hammers will not be looking over their shoulders just yet, recent performances do not inspire confidence and a 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest, followed by a dreary goalless home draw with Everton, could prompt their owners to start looking elsewhere.

He saved himself slightly right after the international break after his side won 2-0 away at St James' Park in what was a great win for the Hammers.

Oliver Glasner @ 10/1

After a superb start to life at Crystal Palace which culminated in six wins from the final seven matches of the 2023/24 season, the honeymoon period appears to be well and truly over for Oliver Glasner.

The Selhurst Park outfit are currently second bottom following their 2-2 draw with Villa on the weekend, with Palace the second-lowest scorers in the division up until this point.

Gary O'Neil @ 10/1

Wolves are on a four-match unbeaten run, including a first Premier League victory of the campaign over Southampton in their last outing, which has helped to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Gary O'Neil.

The Molineux men finally escaped the relegation zone after a big 4-1 win over Fulham at the weekend, with their next five fixtures - against Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham, Ipswich and Leicester - offer a chance for O'Neil's men to haul themselves up the table even more.

Sean Dyche @ 10/1

Dyche has done well since joining the Toffees in 2023, with former Burnley boss keeping them up in both 2022/23 and 2023/24, with Dyche doing so in the latter despite seeing his side docked eight points.

They've not been bad this term, as they sit 15th in the league after 12 played, with the Toffees proving hard to beat, especially at home, with their recent form of just one loss in their last eight giving Dyche a lot of breathing room.

Ange Postecoglou @ 25/1

A shock 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich saw Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou contract in the betting ahead of their post-international break clash with Manchester City.

However, they quashed any rumours regarding his future after a very impressive 4-0 win over Man City at the Etihad as they inflicted Guardiola's biggest home defeat of his managerial career, a result that moved them, just three points off the top for in the process.

How Does Next Manager Sacked Betting Work:

Betting on this market means you are betting on the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

This only applies to the first manager who will have left their current position at a club before kick-off on the final day of the league, 19th of May 2024.

If a manager leaves his club after 15:00 on the final day of the season then this won't count.

If no manager has been sacked then the ‘No Manager to Leave’ selection will have won, whilst if the manager you have bet on is the first to have left his post before then this will count as a win.
