Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the early favourite to be the next Wolves manager
Betting odds are now available on the next Wolves manager with bookmakers instantly placing former Manchester United player and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as favourite.
Solskjaer was seen in the stands at Molineux on Saturday to watch Wolves 2-1 defeat to Ipswich with his former assistant coach Kieran McKenna in charge of the winners.
That instantly added rumours that the Norwegian boss was watching over a potential new team with the 51-year-old now leading the way at 2/1 to replace the departing Gary O'Neil.
BetVictor's early betting market gives Solskjaer an implied probability of 33.3% that he will replace O'Neil with other massive names featuring in the odds list.
| Next Wolves Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| David Moyes | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Carlos Corberan | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Sergio Conceicao | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Steve Cooper | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says...
Gary O'Neil sacked on Sunday after latest defeat
After four losses in a row and the club sitting in 19th in the Premier League table, Gary O'Neil was dismissed as Wolves boss on Sunday.
O'Neil instantly blamed the players for the failure after Saturday's 2-1 loss to Ipswich which raised question marks on an already tricky position he was in as Wolves manager.
It seemed inevitable after yesterday's defeat that O'Neil would be departing the club and the sacking was confirmed by the Daily Telegraph's Midlands football reporter John Percy.
