Many people bet based on headlines or hunches. I dig into research and market moves behind political odds & manager markets, so you can back decisions, not guesses.
- Sean Dyche is the 4/1 favourite to be the first manager sacked in the Premier League this season
- Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca drifts in market after their 6-2 win away at Wolves
- Everton are now 15/8 to be relegated after back-to-back defeats
Sean Dyche is the 4/1 favourite to be the first manager sacked in the Premier League this season
Betting odds remain available on who will be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season and we have a new favourite in the market with UK Betting Sites changing things around.
Everton boss Sean Dyche is now 4/1 to be the first to leave his role after opening the season with back-to-back defeats in the league to Brighton and Tottenham respectively.
That 4-0 defeat away at Tottenham saw Everton fans arguing with the players after the match with videos going viral of the squad at London's Euston Station having words with fans.
Such a toxic atmosphere could end up costing Dyche his job early on at Goodison Park this season with BetVictor's latest odds suggesting a 20% chance that the Everton boss is the first to leave.
Steve Cooper, Enzo Maresca and Erik ten Hag are the joint second favourites in the market with a number of managers having a tricky opening start to the season for different reasons.
| Next Premier League Manager to Leave | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sean Dyche | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Steve Cooper | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Enzo Maresca | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Erik ten Hag | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Nuno Espirito Santo | 8/1 | 11.1% |
What the expert says...
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca drifts in market after their 6-2 win away at Wolves
Enzo Maresca had moved into favourite to be the first manager to leave last week after Chelsea's opening day home defeat to Manchester City.
Boos rang around Stamford Bridge at half-time in their Europa Conference League game against Servette but the Blues eventually ran out 2-0 winners.
Chelsea then won 6-2 away at Wolves on Sunday which surely eased any early pressure on Maresca and saw his odds drift out to 6/1 to leave first.
The Sack Race: Betting on the Next Manager to be Sacked
Everton are now 15/8 to be relegated after back-to-back defeats
Relegation odds are also offered this season with Everton now 15/8 to go down after back-to-back defeats to kick off the season sees them sit rock bottom of the league.
The Toffees have conceded 7 goals already this season but games against Bournemouth and Leicester on the horizon means that they could kick off their season.
Leicester remain the clear favourites to be relegated with bookies placing them at 2/5 in the betting odds to go down.
| Premier League Relegation 24/25 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Leicester | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Southampton | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Ipswich | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Everton | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Wolves | 5/2 | 28.6% |
