Wigan are looking for a new manager and Duncan Ferguson is the 6/4 favourite to take over
Wigan Athletic are looking for a new manager after the dismissal of Leam Richardson last week following an eight game winless run.
Despite only signing a new contract a fortnight before, Richardson was sacked by Wigan's owners despite a truly remarkable job.
Bookies now make Duncan Ferguson the 6/4 favourite to take over at the DW Stadium with the market looking wide open.
| Next Wigan Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Duncan Ferguson | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Steven Gerrard | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Shaun Maloney | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Neil Critchley | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Rob Edwards | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Steven Gerrard is the surprise second favourite in the betting market at 3/1
A surprise runner in the next Wigan manager market is Steven Gerrard, who currently sits as second favourite in the odds at 3/1.
Gerrard was dismissed as Aston Villa manager last month and has been linked with a move back to Rangers in recent weeks.
The Liverpool legend may well want a new role fast to keep in management but a move to Wigan would be a shock.
