Mark Robins shortens into 2/5 to be the next Stoke City manager
Betting odds continue to be offered on the next Stoke City manager with former Coventry City boss Mark Robins now as short as 2/5 with bookies to take over at the bet365 Stadium next.
Robins has been without a job since he was shockingly sacked by Coventry back in November after nearly 8 years in charge of the Sky Blues.
During his reign in charge he took Coventry to the FA Cup Semi-Final last season and the 2023 Championship play-off final and his stock is high in the Football League.
BetVictor's latest betting odds now give an implied probability of 71.4% that Robins takes over at Stoke next with some massive names also featuring in the market.
| Next Stoke City Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Mark Robins | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| David Wagner | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Ryan Lowe | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Tony Mowbray | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Steve Cooper | 16/1 | 5.9% |

Narcis Pelach was sacked as the Potters manager after just three months in charge
Stoke City sacked head coach Narcis Pelach after just 19 games in charge after the club's 2-0 home defeat to Leeds United on Boxing Day.
Sporting Director Jon Walters told fans in an official statement, "he has proved not to be the right fit for this club at this time."
Former Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross has become caretaker manager of the club and oversaw their 1-0 win against Sunderland on Sunday.
