Troy Deeney is now odds-on favourite to become next Walsall manager
Troy Deeney is the shock favourite to be the next Walsall manager with his current odds now making him 4/5 to take over with UK Betting Sites.
Deeney currently plays up front for Birmingham City after moving there in 2021 following an 11-year spell at Watford and his previous connection with Walsall will be a big reason he's linked to the job.
The striker played at Walsall for four seasons between 2006 and 2010 and despite this he would be a massive shock appointment at the Bescot Stadium.
The latest odds from BetVictor though say there's a 55% chance that Deeney becomes the next Walsall manager.
| Next Walsall Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Troy Deeney | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Mat Sadler | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Danny Cowley | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Kevin Phillips | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| David Artell | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Current interim boss Mat Sadler is 5/2 second favourite in the betting market
Current Walsall interim boss Mat Sadler is the 5/2 second favourite to get the Walsall job on a permanent basis and he has hinted at wanting the job.
Sadler told the Express & Star “I have really enjoyed the last month working as caretaker coach and everything that surrounds that and I am confident in my own ability.”
The latest betting odds give him a 28% chance of becoming the Walsall manager permanently and he'll likely be a popular choice with the fans.
