Kjetil Knutsen one of the favourites in the market to take over at Norwich
Relatively unknown manager Kjetil Knutsen is one of the favourites with bookmakers to take over at Norwich City, following the Canaries sacking of Daniel Farke after their first victory of the season against Brentford on Saturday.
Next Norwich Manager | Odds | Implied Probability |
---|---|---|
Frank Lampard | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Kjetil Knutsen
|
5/2 | 28.6% |
Roy Hodgson | 4/1 | 20% |
Mark Robins | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Steve Bruce | 10/1 | 9.1% |
In an intriguing looking betting market, it's Frank Lampard that leads the way according to the bookies at odds of 2/1. Roy Hodgson is 4/1 to make a shock return to football with Norwich.
Kjetil Knutsen is currently the manager of Bodø/Glimt in the Norwegian league and led them to their first ever league title win in 2020.
With only one loss that season and breaking many records, eyes around Norway focussed on Knutsen, who has shown how good he is as a manager.
It may be time for Knutsen to leave Norway and try and manage in another country.
Frank Lampard is included in the betting market to manage the Canaries
Frank Lampard has been without a role in football since he was sacked by Chelsea at the start of this year.
His Chelsea side weren't performing anywhere near to the best of their abilities and Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea board decided to dismiss the manager.
Thomas Tuchel coming into Chelsea and winning the Champions League with Lampard's side will have hurt him and he may be looking to prove his managerial worth again.
With odds of 2/1, it's clear that bookmakers feel that Lampard is the one to take over at Norwich.
Norwich given a 90.1% chance of being relegated by bookmakers
After such a tough start to the season, bookmakers have given Norwich just a 9% chance of staying up in the league this season.
Daniel Farke was dismissed as manager at Norwich following the team's first victory of the season, away at fellow promoted team Brentford.
Such timing of the sacking has been deemed to be confusing by many fans and pundits alike, but the Canaries board clearly feel that it's time for a fresh start at the club.
