Carlos Carvalhal is the bookmakers favourite to become the next Blackburn manager
Carlos Carvalhal has quickly become the betting favourite to become the next Blackburn manager after leaving his managerial role at Braga.
Carvalhal has stated he is leaving Braga for 'new projects', which was confirmed by the club in a statement yesterday evening.
At odds of 7/4, Carvalhal is the clear favourite with bookmakers to take over at Ewood Park following Tony Mowbray's exit.
| Next Blackburn Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Carlos Carvalhal | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Michael Carrick | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Duncan Ferguson | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Gareth Ainsworth | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Simon Grayson | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Duncan Ferguson also features in the betting market to take over at Blackburn, with the former footballer still a coach at Everton.
Ferguson hasn't had his own managerial role yet, with two caretaker roles as Everton manager potentially giving him the manager bug.
Michael Carrick is the second favourite in the betting odds
Former Manchester United player Michael Carrick is the second favourite in the betting market to take over at Blackburn.
Carrick took over at Man Utd temporarily after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed earlier on in the season, before leaving the club when Ralf Rangnick came in.
The former midfielder has been linked with several jobs in recent months, with his first proper managerial role on the horizon sooner rather than later.
Carrick has been linked with the Lincoln job in the past week, but a role like Blackburn would be too big to turn down if there was interest from both parties.

Blackburn are 20/1 to win the Championship next season
Whoever does come into Blackburn has a big club on their hands and they are 20/1 to win the league next year.
It's now been 10 years since Blackburn were in the Premier League and they're 6/1 to make it this year that they finally get promoted back to the top division.
