Next England Manager Betting Odds Make Roy Hodgson The Favourite To Replace Fabio Capello If Sacked Sunday 20 June 2010 at 16:33 The Next England Manager Betting Odds have been made available ahead of England's game with Slovenia as if England fail to qualify for the knockout stages Fabio Capello is likely to be sacked. No one could have imagined we would be talking about the Next England Manager two games into the World Cup 2010 but so poor have England been that Capello might be taking charge of his last game on Wednesday.
Roy Hodgson Has Done Wonders At Fulham And Now England Could Call
The early favourite to replace Capello is Roy Hodgson. The Fulham manager has also been strongly linked with becoming the Next Liverpool Manager but the Next England Manager would surely be a much more attractive job for a man who already has experience of managing at international level, he took Switzerland to the last 16 at World Cup 1994. Hodgson is currently 9/2 with SkyBet and looks a decent bet. The bookies can't agree about Stuart Pearce, SkyBet make the England U21 boss a 9/2 joint favourite but at William Hill he is 10/1, might be worth taking that 10/1 before William Hill see the odds SkyBet are offering, especially as it seems Pearce is being groomed for the position.
Harry Redknapp And Martin O'Neill May Deserve A Go But Bookies Also Give Beckham A Chance
Harry Redknapp and Martin O'Neill have both been passed over a few times to become the Next England Manager but Redknapp in particular now looks as though he would be a popular choice having guided Spurs to the Champions League, Redknapp is just 3/1 with William Hill but 6/1 with SkyBet. SkyBet also offer 6/1 for O'Neill to get the job. Alan Shearer has very little management experience and David Beckham has none but you can get odds on either of them becoming manager at William Hill, simply visit the William Hill website for those odds. SkyBet have loads more names in their Next England Manager Betting Odds, to find out the odds on Arsene Wenger, David Moyes, Sir Alex Ferguson or any of the other top managers, visit the SkyBet website.
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.
