Next Accrington Stanley Manager Betting Odds: John Doolan is the heavy favourite at 1/4 to become the next Accrington manager after John Coleman's sacking

John Doolan is the heavy favourite at 1/4 to become the next Accrington Stanley manager

John Doolan is the 1/4 favourite to take over as next Accrington Stanley manager with bookmakers now offering odds on who will replace John Coleman in charge of the club.

Doolan has been a First Team Coach at Accrington since 2017 and it may well be that he moves into the managerial role following Coleman's departure.

The betting market has already put him well clear in the odds list with the current odds suggesting an 80% chance he becomes the next Accrington manager.

BetVictor have Doolan at 1/4 in the market ahead of Derek Adams and David Dunn who are 8/1 and 10/1 respectively.

John Coleman was sacked after long-standing time in charge of the club

Long-serving manager John Coleman was dismissed by the Accrington Stanley board at the weekend following the club's 4-0 thumping by Wrexham.

Coleman and assistant Jimmy Bell were both sacked by the club with a short two-sentence statement given for one of their longest serving managers.

The Liverpudlian took over at Accrington back in 1999 when the club was in non-league and got them into the Football League in 2006 before leaving in 2012.

Coleman took over at Rochdale and lasted just a year there before returning to Accrington in 2014 for a second spell in charge of the club.

Accrington's season is basically over now according to the betting odds with the club now out to 250/1 to be promoted as they sit 8 points off the play-offs.

Stanley are also 19 points off the relegation zone with no real chance of being relegated now this season.

Whoever takes over at the club next will be hoping that they can put a late run of wins together to bring the club up to the play-off spots.
