- Dean Smith heads the betting to be the next England manager after Gareth Southgate
- Former England midfield duo Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard both sit at 12/1 to be the next manager
- Pep Guardiola a 25/1 chance for the job after admitting he would like a job in international management next
Aston Villa's Dean Smith one of the the favourites to be the next England manager
The England manager's job is arguably one of the toughest in the business, dubbed as somewhat of a poisoned chalice by pundits and fans alike. It's managers with English nationality who are heading the betting for this market, with Dean Smith and Burnley's Sean Dyche at the top of the odds with betting sites at 5/1.
Eddie Howe and Graham Potter are just behind Smith and Dyche at odds of 7/1 and 12/1 respectively in the Next England Manager Betting
Next England Manager Betting Odds
| Candidate | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Dean Smith | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Sean Dyche | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Eddie Howe | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Graham Potter | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Steven Gerrard | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Frank Lampard | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are both 12/1 shots for the role, with both representing their country on the big stage in their playing careers
Two candidates in the next England manager market are Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, both of which played for their country in the last decade and retired in 2014 from international football. Steven Gerrard is the current manager of Rangers and has been a success at the club, winning their first SPL title since the 2010-11 season.
Frank Lampard's last role was as Chelsea manager, being dismissed from the club in January 2021 after 18 months in charge. Chelsea replaced Lampard with Thomas Tuchel and went on to win the Champions League in 6 months which will have been tough viewing for Lampard.
Pep Guardiola 25/1 outsider despite hinting at an international role next up for him
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola recently revealed that he is expecting to leave the club once his contract runs out in 2023. Guardiola himself said "the next step will be an international team, if the opportunity presents itself." How better could an opportunity present itself than after England play in the 2022 Qatar World Cup in December next year?
At odds of 25/1, betting sites are giving Guardiola the same odds as Gary Neville, Rafa Benitez and Chris Wilder to become the next manager of the England national team. Being one of the most successful managers of all time, Guardiola would become one of, if not THE, most successful manager to have taken control of England.
