Kjetil Knutsen is the 5/1 favourite to take over at Brighton with Graham Potter's departure imminent
FK Bodø/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen is 5/1 favourite at betting sites to become the next Brighton manager with Graham Potter set to go to Chelsea.
Knusten has been linked with a number of roles in English football in recent months, including the vacant Bournemouth manager job.
Paddy Power though make him favourite to become the next Brighton manager at 5/1 at the top of an admittedly wide open market.
| Next Brighton Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Kjetil Knutsen
|
5/1 | 16.7% |
| Steve Cooper | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Brendan Rodgers | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Felice Mazzu | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Thomas Frank | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Graham Potter is expected to join Chelsea in the next 24 hours leaving a vacant position in a big job in the Premier League.
The transition between Brighton and Chelsea will be tough for Potter but the way he's had his team playing should transfer over well to Chelsea.
Steve Cooper is 6/1 in the betting market but may take a lot for him to leave Forest
Steve Cooper is the second favourite in the betting market to take over at Brighton but he'll likely want to continue life in the Premier League at Forest.
Nottingham Forest have famously made 22 signings this transfer window and Cooper will have been important behind such a big change in the squad.
According to the betting odds, Cooper has a 14% chance of joining Brighton next taking over from fellow British manager Potter.

Brighton sit 4th in the Premier League after great start to season
After an impressive start to the season, Brighton currently sit 4th in the Premier League table.
Whoever comes into the AMEX to replace Potter obviously has massive shoes to fill with pundits and fans raving about Potter's style of play.
Tony Bloom though is known to be one of the best owners in English football so it'll be clear that whoever he gets as replacement will be the right man.
