Next Rotherham United Manager Betting Odds: Gary Rowett the early favourite to take over at Rotherham following Matt Taylor's departure on Monday morning!

Gary Rowett is the early favourite with bookies at 5/1 to take over as next Rotherham United manager

Betting is now available on the next Rotherham United manager following Matt Taylor's sacking on Monday morning and bookmakers already have an early favourite in the market.

Former Millwall manager Gary Rowett is the early favourite at 5/1 with BetVictor to take over at the Millers after leaving Millwall last month by mutual consent.

The Millers will be looking to get someone in to replace Taylor who can steer them away from the relegation zone and keep them up in the Championship at the end of the season.

Some big names feature in the betting market with former Rotherham United player Chris Wilder the second favourite in the odds to take over at the New York Stadium.

Neil Warnock also features in the odds to make a return to Rotherham, with a short spell at the club back in 2016 seeing him manage the side to safety in the Championship.

Matt Taylor was sacked on Monday following 5-0 defeat to Watford at the weekend

Rotherham United decided to part ways with Matt Taylor on Monday morning after a 5-0 loss to Watford at the weekend saw the club left in 22nd in the Championship.

Taylor had been at the club as manager for 13 months after leaving Exeter City but just 2 wins from their opening 16 league game this season has seen them slump in the table.

Millers chairman Tony Stewart said in the club's statement that he "felt by myself and the board that we had to act now by making a managerial change in order to give ourselves the best possible chance of retaining our Championship status this season."
