| Steve Cotterill | 25 Jan, 2024 | 06/10/2024 | 255 |
Steve Cotterill was appointed as the new Forest Green Rovers manager at the end of January 2024. FGR becomes the eleventh club Cotterill has managed, with owner Dale Vince saying he was looking for an experienced manager after the failure of the Troy Deeney Project. Forest Green Rovers are now on their sixth manager since 2022, so it is evident that a period of stability is needed. If yet another change does take place, the best betting sites will have all the next Forest Green Rovers manager odds.

Who Could Be The Next Forest Green Rovers Manager
A list of the potential candidates should the job become available today based on previous people appearing in the betting odds when the position was vacant last time, to others who have a profile that would fit the club in terms of the last few managers they have had.
Gary Bowyer

Having left Dundee in 2023, we presume Bowyer will be looking for new opportunities. He has featured in many next-manager markets, and his track record, which includes Scottish Championship Manager of the Year in 2022/23, signifies he can get results from underperforming teams. If he were appointed at FGR, it would be his sixth permanent managerial position.

The South Wales-born football manager had previously managed both Newport County and Walsall. His last appointment in 2023 came at Swindon Town, but Flynn only managed the Robins for thirty-three games before being sacked in January 2024.
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. 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.
Mark Bonner

After three years in his first managerial position at Cambridge United Mark Bonner was sacked in November 2023. He had guided the U's into League One in his first season (2020-21) but found the higher League naturally much tougher. He in 2024 will be expected to feature in a host of next manager markets.
Michael Duff

The former Cheltenham, Barnsley and Swansea manager was considered ahead of Cotterill being appointed. The Northern Ireland born boss we suspect will be looking to get back into football management as soon as possible.
Matt Gray

Grey had been at Sutton United since 2019 before being dismissed in December 2023. His achievements in guiding Sutton United to the Football League for the first time ever put him on the radar of League 1 and 2 clubs chairman.
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 he was let go by the West London club.
Ainsworth was available at 14/1 with the bookmakers after FGR manager Troy Deeney was sacked in January 2024.
Luke Gerrard

Garrard has been in charge at Boreham Wood since 2015 and is another manager who could be looking for a club in the Football League. The 2021-22 FA Cup run when Boreham Wood beat AFC Wimbledon and Bournemouth will have done his future managerial chances no harm.
Jody Morris
Image: skysports
In his first permanent managerial position, Jody Morris was sacked by "nearish" neighbours Swindon Town in May 2023. The Robins let Morris go after only winning four of his eighteen games in charge. We suspect he will be looking for another lower-league team to show he has what it takes to manage at this level.

The former FGR academy manager took over at Cheltenham Town in 2022 but was sacked fourteen months later. His connection to Rovers is likely to mean he will feature in the betting should a vacancy arise.
