Next England Manager Betting Odds Have Roy Hodgson And Harry Redknapp Favourites Monday 21 June 2010 at 10:14 The Next England Manager Betting Odds make Roy Hodgson and Harry Redknapp the favourites to replace Fabio Capello, he looks increasingly likely to leave England once the World Cup 2010 is over.
Roy Hodgson Favourite To Replace Fabio Capello
Fabio Capello seems to have lost the dressing room, especially in John Terry's case, and if England fail to get out of the group stage it looks pretty certain Capello will quit despite only just having signed a new two year contract extension. Roy Hodgson is the current favourite to get the job as a reward for what a great job he has done at Fulham, he is rated at 5/1 with VC Bet and has already been backed into 5/2 with William Hill, the fact that he guided Switzerland to the last 16 of the World Cup in 1994 means people clearly think he is qualified for the job. His main threat could be Harry Redknapp, who may be slightly reluctant to leave Spurs having guided them to Champions League football next season, but this is England we are talking about and he would surely take the job if offered it, he is 6/1 with SkyBet to be the Next England manager and just 2/1 favourite with VC Bet.
Stuart Pearce Could Be The Best Bet From The Outsiders
Martin O'Neill is also one of the favourites for the England job but he has been passed over twice before, first when Steve McLaren got the job and then again when Fabio Capello was appointed. He might miss out again for a third time but he is rated at 10/1 with VC Bet, just ahead of Stuart Pearce who looks a better bet. Pearce seems to have been groomed for the job after being given the U21 job and a place on Fabio Capello's coaching staff and he could be a good bet at 12/1 with VC Bet, SkyBet are only willing to offer 9/2. Other interesting options at bigger prices could be Arsene Wenger at 20/1 with SkyBet, Alan Shearer at 33/1 with VC Bet and David Beckham at 66/1 with VC Bet.

Harry Redknapp Proven at club level and undoubtedly a top manager. Some doubts about his suitability as a candidate and recent legal problems won't have helped his cause but he would be the England fans choice. Harry Redknapp has said he wouldnt turn England down if they came calling. FA England Managing Director Adrian Bevington pronounced that "the next manager would be English" and Redknapp looks one of very few homegrown candidates.
Stuart Pearce England need Stuart Pearce passion and no doubt the FA rate him as he is Under 21 manager. This vacancy may come round a bit too soon, although he is likely to manage England in his career it may not be straight after Fabio Cappello.
Guus Hiddink Likely to be very high on the FA's wish list and has a good track record in international football, but Trevor Brooking the FA Director Of Football indicated that an English manager would be sought.
Martin O'Neill Would be a popular choice as the next England manager for many fans and has a proven track record. If the FA want him they should be able to get him but there are question marks over why he wasn't appointed instead of Steve McClaren in 2006. Some reports in the media say he is not interested in the job havng settled in very well at Sunderland.
Sam Allardyce Overlooked when he was doing well with Bolton and the general impression was that he was found out at Newcastle. Sam Allarydyce still has his supporters but now at West Ham the Engand job may have passed him by.
Glenn Hoddle England manager between 1996 and 1999 but has been out of management since 2006 when he was in charge at Wolves. Possibility he could hold the fort through Euro 2012
Steve Bruce Sunderland boss Steve Bruce never played for England, however football fans think he is one of the best English players never to play for his country at full international level. Bruce is a good bet for the FA who surely must appoint a manager born in England.
Alan Shearer Appointing legendary players with little or no managerial experience has become a bit of a trend over the last few years, but after such shambolic displays in the World Cup England will be looking for more stability and a proven track record.
Mark Hughes Has managed Blackburn, Man City, Fulham and QPR in the Premiership as well as five years managing Wales so knows all about international football.
Terry Venables Managed his country between 1994 and 1996 and made return to the international limelight when assistant manager to Steve McLaren in 2006/7.
