Mark Hughes is the 4/1 favourite to take over at Salford City next
Former Manchester United player Mark Hughes is the 4/1 favourite to take over as the next Salford City manager with bookmakers now offering odds following the departure of Neil Wood.
| Next Salford City manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Mark Hughes | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Paul Hurst | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Gary Rowett | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Mark Bonner | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Steve Cotterill | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Salford are owned by a consortium led by the Class of 92 from Manchester United including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes and this could pave the way for Hughes to take charge next.
Hughes has been without a job after parting company with Bradford City back at the start of October and nearly 3 months later he could make a return to management with Salford City.
The early betting market puts Hughes as the 4/1 favourite in the market ahead of Paul Hurst and Gary Rowett who follow in the odds at 6/1 and 8/1 respectively.
BetVictor's latest odds say there's a 20% chance that Hughes takes over at Salford with the implied probability given by the latest betting odds in the next Salford manager market.
What the expert says...
Neil Wood was sacked by Salford after eight games without a win in League Two
Neil Wood was sacked by Salford City on Wednesday following their 5-1 home loss on Boxing Day to Tranmere Rovers which saw them slide down to 21st in the League Two table.
Wood took Salford to the play-off Semi's last season, losing in a penalty shoot-out against Stockport County, but this season has been completely different with their form struggling.
Six wins from the Ammies 23 league games so far this season has seen them struggle in the league and ultimately led to the board deciding to make a change.
