John Eustace is the evens favourite to be the next Stoke City manager

John Eustace is the betting favourite at evens to become the next Stoke City manager after Alex Neil was sacked on Sunday after 16 months in charge.

Eustace heads the betting with Bookies to take over at Stoke with the former player given a 50% chance of taking over at the Bet365 Stadium according to the latest odds.

Birmingham City controversially sacked Eustace back in October due to a misalignment with the management according to Brum CEO Garry Cook and they've seen slid down the table.

BetVictor have Eustace at the top of the market to make a return to Stoke after he made 74 appearances for the club between 2003 and 2008.

Graham Potter and Steven Schumacher both sit just behind Eustace in the market at second and third favourite respectively.

Alex Neil sacked on Sunday after home defeat to bottom side Sheffield Wednesday

Stoke City sacked Alex Neil as their manager on Sunday evening after Saturday's loss to the Championship's bottom club Sheffield Wednesday at home.

Neil had been in charge of the Potters for 16 months after he left Sunderland to join them back in August 2022 but now he's out of a job after failing at Stoke.

The Potters form hasn't been the best this season to say the least with just six wins in their 20 league matches seeing the Stoke board decide to pull the plug on Neil's reign.
