Slaven Bilic New Favourite In Next Sunderland Manager Betting Odds
Friday 19 December 2008 at 14:27
There is a new favourite in the Next Sunderland Manager betting following Sam Allardyce's appointment at Blackburn and it is not current caretaker manager Ricky Sbragia as many expected it would be.
Bilic Getting Shorter For Return To England
The new favourite is Croatia manager Slaven Bilic. He is a 3/1 shot with Stan James but he is as short as 11/8 with one bookie. Bilic has been linked with many high profile jobs over the last year or so but it seems he could finally make his return to the Premiership, this time as a manager.
Sbragia Still Has Chance To Prove Himself
Ricky Sbragia is the second favourite still and he can be backed at 5/1 with Bet365, Paddy Power and Coral. Sbragia is doing a decent job and is set to keep the job until after Christmas. The busy festive programme will tell the Sunderland board more about his management skills and he could still prove he is the best man for the job.
Curbs Is Top English Manager
Alan Curbishley is still being linked with the job and his price varies significantly between the bookies. The best price he can be backed at is 8/1 with Bet365 and Ladbrokes and he is now the leading English contender now that Sam Allardyce has joined Blackburn.
Mancini And Grant Available At Big Prices
Roberto Mancini is another manager who has been linked with plenty of jobs since leaving Inter Milan and he is 16/1 with SkyBet. Antoher manager who has been linked with loads of jobs is Avram Grant and he is as short as 13/2 with Paddy Power and William Hill but SkyBet seem confident enough to offer 20/1 about the former Chelsea manager.
