Gunner Be Gone?
After the humiliation of losing to newly-promoted Brentford in the opening game of the EPL season Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been backed from 10/1 into 11/4 favourite to be the first manager to leave his post, ahead of Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace and Ralph Hassenhuttl at Southampton.
- Bookmaker Odds
- Arteta 11/4
- Vieira 6/1
- Hasenhuttl 15/2
Arteta apologized for the defeat, but bookies are smelling blood from the beleaguered boss.
The 39-year-old former player is in his first managerial role and many Gunners fans are unhappy with both the results and the style of play.
Leading bookmakers took immediate action after the Friday night defeat catapulting the Spanish-born manager to the head of the sack race.
The match at the Brentford Community Stadium saw Arsenal strikers Aubeyemang and Lacazette unavailable amidst unsubstantiated rumours that all was not well between the players and the manager.
The North London side's next two EPL matches are at home to European Champions Chelsea and away to title holders Manchester City defeats in those games and Arsenal could be sitting at the foot of the table with no points.
Mikel Arteta Emirates Replacement
The odds of Arteta being the first Premier League manager to be sacked first have crashed but there are sure to be other shock results that will fluctuate the market. Massimiliano is the current favourite to be the next Arsenal boss after Arteta
