Current Cheltenham Town Manager

Manager Darrell Clarke has left Cheltenham Town after agreeing on contract terms with League One side Barnsley; his replacement is Michael Flynn, the former Newport County, Swindon Town and Walsall manager. With Cheltenham being relegated into League Two in  2024, it is hoped that this appointment can galvanize the Robins to bounce straight back. Flynn becomes the thirteenth permanent manager since they achieved football league status in 1999. However, if another change comes at Whaddon Road, the best betting sites will have all the next Cheltenham Town manager odds.

Who Could Be The Next Cheltenham Town Manager

These managers were in the betting market ahead of the last two appointments and could be potential future contenders for the Cheltenham Manager position when it becomes available again. 

Lee Johnson

Image: Hibernian-FC

Despite his relatively young age of 42, Johnson brings a wealth of experience to the table, having managed six clubs Charlton, Barnsley, Bristol City, Sunderland, Hibernian, and Fleetwood. While he has yet to achieve promotion with any club, his tenure at Sunderland saw his Black Cats clinch the EFL Trophy in 2021. 

Gareth Ainsworth

After spending 11 years in charge at Wycombe Wanderers, Ainsworth moved to QPR. That appointment could have gone much better, with a record of only five wins from twenty-eight games before the West London club let him go in October 2023. Since that date, Ainsworth has featured in a host of EFL next-manager betting markets.


Graham Coughlan

The current Newport County manager had been installed as the favourite on 21st September 2023 for the new Cheltenham manager's job. A Plymouth old boy who played over 170 games between 2001 and 2005. He was Vice Captain for some time and helped the club win Division Two and Division Three titles. Once Coughlan retired, he moved into management.

Steve Cotterill 

Image: skysports

Currently not in a position the former Shrewsbury Town manager is the second favourite, according to BetVictor, to get the Cheltenham Town manager job. And, of course, Steve Cotterill built his managerial reputation at Cheltenham Town, guiding the club from the Southern League into the Conference and then the Football League proper. His best period was at cash-strapped Notts County, where he took over in February 2010 and saw the club crowned Champions in April 2010. In 2024 he was appointed manager of Forest Green Rovers at the beginning of 2024. 

Martin Devaney

The former Tykes midfielder was the Barnsley caretaker manager when Michael Duff left for Swansea. Devaney was not given the full-time job this time around but looks to be part of the consideration for Cheltenham Town

Leam Richardson 

Image: skysports

Leam Richardson could be in with a shout for the Cheltenham Town manager job after he left Wigan Athletic in November 2022 after winning League One in the previous season. At the time of writing, he seems to be available and would be a suitable fit.

Danny Cowley

Danny Cowley built his reputation at Lincoln City between 2016 and 2019, winning promotion to the Football League in his first season with the Imps. The 2018-19 season saw a further promotion for Cowley and Lincoln into the dizzying heights of League 1. This success naturally attracted more prominent suitors, but his other teams have been unable to replicate that success. In 2024, he was appointed manager of League Two club Colchester United.

Chris Beech

Image: ITVX

After two spells as caretaker boss and assistant manager at Rochdale, Chris Beech was appointed to his first managerial job at Carlisle United in 2019. The 2021/22 season started badly for Carlisle, and he was let go; his total win rate at the club was 31.25%. He is currently the manager of the National League side of AFC Fylde. Before Wade Elliott was appointed at Cheltenham, Beech was strongly touted for the job.  

Paul Tisdale

Image: skysports

After spending five years at Team Bath and 12 years at Exeter City, Paul Tisdale's most recent jobs have been much shorter in length; he lasted 73 games at Milton Keynes Dons and a truncated 19 and 21 matches at Bristol Rovers and Stevenage. The sheen of his managerial talents has slightly faded due to those recent disappointing performances. Still, we suspect a club will be willing to appoint the man who was League 2 Manager of the Year in 2009 and has achieved promotion for 3 of the five clubs where he has been the boss. 

David Artell

Image: skysports

David Artell, who started his managerial career with Crewe Alexandra, spent five years with the Railwaymen and won promotion from League 2 in 2020 and the Divisions Manager of the Year. Artell became Grimsby Town manager in September 2023.

Cheltenham Town are looking for a new manager after the departure of Michael Duff earlier this week. Wade Elliott is the bookmaker's favourite to take over at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium and it would make perfect sense as he is already a member of the coaching staff there.
