Ruben Amorim is the 5/4 favourite to take over as Wolves manager after Bruno Lage was sacked
Wolves are looking for a new manager after the dismissal of Bruno Lage on Sunday and it's Ruben Amorim who is the 5/4 bookmakers favourite.
Ruben Amorim is the current manager of Sporting Lisbon and according to the betting odds he has a 44% chance of being the next Wolves manager.
Paddy Power make Amorim the favourite but it would take a decent effort to prise him away from Champions League side Sporting.
| Next Wolves Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ruben Amorim
|
5/4 | 44.4% |
| Julen Lopetegui
|
11/4 | 26.7% |
| Pedro Martins | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Andre Villas-Boas | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Sean Dyche | 10/1 | 9.1% |
It's no surprise that Portuguese candidates dominate the market with 3 of the top 5 favourites coming from Portugal.
With 'super agent' Jorge Mendes reportedly pulling the strings in the background at the club, we may well see another Portuguese manager taking over.
Julen Lopetegui is second favourite in the market at 11/4
Current Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui is 11/4 in the betting market to take over from Bruno Lage next at Molineux.
Lopetegui is on the brink of being sacked himself according to reports with Sevilla just one point above the La Liga relegation zone.
Saturday evening's 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid added to a dreadful start to the campaign for Sevilla.
Wolves currently sit 18th in table and are 11/4 to go down this year
Whoever does take over at Wolves has a tough job on their hands with the Wanderers currently sitting in the relegation zone in the Premier League.
With odds of just 11/4 to go down, bookies make them the fifth favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season.
Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Leicester and Southampton all sit above Wolves when it comes to relegation odds this campaign.
