In the latest development from the Next Bradford City Manager Betting front, the League Two club has confirmed the appointment of former MK Dons manager, Graham Alexander. The 52-year-old moves into the role on a contract bound until the summer of 2026.
Having only been made redundant three weeks prior to his new appointment, following his dismissal from the Dons on 16 October, Alexander steps in to fill the void left by ex-Wales chief, Mark Hughes, who parted ways with Bradford early in the previous month.
With previous managerial tenures at Fleetwood, Scunthorpe, Salford, and Scottish outfit Motherwell, Alexander boasts a strong pedigree. Notably, he led Motherwell to a Europa Conference League spot in the 2021-22 season.
Speaking to the club's website, an excited Alexander shared, "It is really good to be here. I am excited about the role, the potential of the team and club"

Who Could Be The Next Bradford City Manager
This list of possible contenders were in the betting the last time Bradford City were looking for a new manager,
Leam Richardson
Richardson was 4/1 in the betting for the Bradford Managers job last time it was vacant in November 2023. After starting his managerial career at Accrington Stanley, Leam Richardson joined Wigan Athletic to work under Paul Cook. When Cook left for another position, Richardson stayed on as Caretaker boss before being appointed permanently in April 2021. In the 2021/22 season, Wigan flourished under his management style, and they won the League One Championship by two points from Rotherham United. Richardson was named Manager of the Season for League One. The following year, in the Championship, the club struggled, and Richardson was sacked with the club in the relegation zone.
Dean Holden

Danny Cowley
Image: rex features
The ex Pompey boss was 6/1 in the betting for the Bradford Managers job last time it was vacant in November 2023. Danny Cowley features in nearly every League 1 and League 2 betting market. After impressing at Lincoln City, where his side won the National League, League 2 and the EFL Trophy in three seasons, Cowley has not fared as well in his subsequent roles at Huddersfield and Portsmouth.
Neil Redfearn
Most recently Redfearn was assistant manager at Oldham Athletic. Yorkshire born Redfearn had a short spell as a player for the Bantams. Redfearn was 6/1 in the betting for the Bradford Managers job last time it was vacant in November 2023
Neil Lennon

Lennon was an outsider at 25/1 the last time the Bantams job was up for grabs. was 4/1 in the betting for the Bradford Managers job last time it was vacant in November 2023Can be a controversial figure, but his record as a manager is notable. He won the Scottish Premiership on five occasions and the Scottish FA Cup four times when in charge at Celtic.
Karl Robinson
Image: rex features
The former MK Dons, Charlton Athletic and Oxford United manager Karl Robinson has built a solid reputation from all the clubs that he has managed. So far, the pinnacle of his achievements was getting Milton Keynes Dons promoted into the Championship in 2015. Playing in the Championship was a big step for MKD, and they soon returned to League 1. In October 2016, Robinson was sacked. A month later, he was back in football at Charlton Athletic, where he stayed for 18 months before moving to Oxford United. Robinson spent nearly five years at the U's, achieved two playoff appearances and managed 274 games before being sacked in February 2023. When out of work, he is a go-to candidate in English football; he was 1/1 to be appointed at QPR in 2023 before Gareth Ainsworth.
Pete Wild

Pete Wild previously managed Oldham Athletic and Halifax Town before being appointed to his current position at Barrow.
Neil Warnock
The 74-year-old has been added to the next Bradford City manager betting. It is not clear whether he still wants to manage yet another club (19 previous appointments!), but the Bantams could certainly do with a manager of his pedigree.

Jone was a 25/1 outsider in the betting for the Bradford Managers job last time it was vacant in November 2023The former Luton, Stoke and Southampton manager did very well at Kenilworth Road and then poorly at the Bet 365 stadium and St Marys.
David Artell
Image: skysports
Artell said that he was very interested in the Swindon Town job before Jody Morris was appointed in January 2023. The best betting sites had the former Crewe Alexandra manager at odds of 5/2, and it seems he was being considered. David Artell, who was in his first job, spent five years with the Railwaymen and won promotion from League 2 in 2020 as well as Manager of the Year. He has been out of football management since he left Crewe in April 2022.
Lee Bowyer

The Canning Town-born midfielder moved into management with his former team, Charlton Athletic, in 2018. He spent three years there and secured promotion to the Championship in 2019. Unfortunately, the club only lasted one season in the higher tier, and they were relegated back down to League One. Bowyer left the club in March 2021. He moved to Birmingham City, but the results could have been better, and with the club seemingly going nowhere and with no definable style, he was sacked in July 2022. In a real left-field move, Bowyer was appointed to manage the Montserrat National team in September 2023. The Caribbean side plays in the CONCACAF federation.
