Next Republic of Ireland Manager Betting Odds: Neil Lennon is the 6/4 FAVOURITE to take over as next Republic of Ireland boss ahead of last outing for Stephen Kenny

Neil Lennon sits at the top of the betting market at 6/4 to be the next Republic of Ireland Manager

Betting is open on the next Republic of Ireland manager with OLBG taking a closer look at the latest odds from UK Betting Sites on who will take over from Stephen Kenny next.

Neil Lennon is currently the outright betting favourite at 6/4 to take over as the man who leads Republic of Ireland into their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.

Ireland bosses will be looking to make sure that they make the right appointment and it may not be an immediate decision that is made.

Northern Irishman Lennon has a 40% chance of becoming the next manager of the Republic of Ireland according to the latest odds from Paddy Power.

Stephen Kenny is set to leave his role as manager when his contract expires

Stephen Kenny's contract is set to officially expire on Tuesday evening as soon as their end-of-season friendly against New Zealand finishes.

Kenny's contract would have continued until March if Ireland had managed to secure a play-off place through the Nations League to try and qualify for the Euros next summer.

Instead though Ireland have failed under Kenny and now have a wait until September next year to have another meaningful game with the return of the Nations League.

The Kenny era ends with a near full house at the Aviva and he will be hoping to end his spell in charge with a win to at least end on somewhat of a high.
