Julen Lopetegui is now the 4/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave this season
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has now moved into 4/1 favourite with UK Betting Sites to be the first Premier League manager to leave his role this season.
Lopetegui had been linked with a move away from Wolves at the end of last season according to reports in the Daily Mail due to fears around the club's FFP issues.
Fast forward to July though and Lopetegui is still at the club, but Wolves are yet to bring any big signings in and the Spanish manager may have those worries again ahead of the new season.
The latest betting odds now say that there's a 20% chance that Lopetegui is the first manager to leave this season with the first Premier League games kicking off in August.
