Erik Ten Hag is the 11/8 favourite to be the next Premier League manager to go this season
The Sack Race continues this Monday with Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag remaining the favourite with bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to leave.
Next Premier League Manager to Leave | Odds | Probability |
---|---|---|
Erik Ten Hag | 11/8 | 42.1% |
Paul Heckingbottom | 7/4 | 36.4% |
Andoni Iraola | 4/1 | 20.0% |
Vincent Kompany | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Mauricio Pochettino | 20/1 | 4.8% |
United's 1-0 win away to Fulham in the Saturday lunchtime kick off wasn't enough to see Ten Hag move from favourite in the betting market to be sacked next.
This midweek sees the return of the Champions League once again with Ten Hag's side facing an important away tie against Copenhagen where 3 points is a must.
BetVictor's latest betting odds suggest there's a 36% chance that the United boss is the next manager sacked with his odds shortening from 12/1 this time last week.
Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom is just behind Ten Hag in the betting market at 7/4 with the managerial merry-go-round close to getting underway.
What the expert says...
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom 7/4 in the market with the Blades winning their first game this campaign
Paul Heckingbottom and his Sheffield United side got their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday with a controversial injury time penalty giving them the three points.
Oliver Norwood stepped up to convert the 100th minute penalty against Wolves to see the Blades win 2-1 and get a precious three points to see them get a total of 4 so far this season.
Heckingbottom has previously been favourite to be sacked next but the Blades board have stuck by him and this weekend could well be where the tide has started to turn.
The Blades will now have that much needed confidence going into an important part of the season where they could have been left stranded at the bottom of the league.

Man Utd out to 150/1 to win the Premier League
Manchester United are 150/1 to win the Premier League after that Fulham win on Saturday saw their odds shorten slightly from the 200/1 they had drifted out to.
Their cross-city rivals Manchester City remain odds on to win the league for the fourth year in a row after an impressive 6-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
City winger Jeremy Doku grabbed a goal and 4 assists in the game which saw him become the youngest Premier League player to have 5 goal contributions in a game.
