Graham Potter is the 3/1 favourite to be the next Leicester manager
Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter is now the 3/1 favourite to be the next Leicester manager despite reports on Tuesday distancing him with the job.
Reports from TalkSPORT on Tuesday say that Potter has rejected an approach from Leicester after not wanting a swift return to the Premier League.
Potter was sacked by Chelsea on Sunday after a disastrous spell in charge at Stamford Bridge and his dismissal came just hours after Brendan Rodgers left Leicester.
The latest betting odds from BetVictor say there's a 25% chance that Potter is the next Leicester manager despite the latest news this morning.
| Next Leicester Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Potter | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Rafa Benitez | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Patrick Vieira | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Jon Dahl Thomason | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Ange Postecoglou | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Rafa Benitez just behind Potter in the betting market
Rafa Benitez is the second favourite in the betting market to take over at the King Power Stadium and the Spaniard has been out of work since leaving Everton in January last year.
Reports in Spanish paper Marca on Monday linked Benitez with a move to Leicester and even mention that an 'offer' has been made to him to become their next manager.
With odds of 4/1 to take over at Leicester, bookies say there's a 20% chance of Benitez taking over from the departing Brendan Rodgers.
