Ange Postecoglou shortens into 5/2 to be the next manager to go
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is now the 5/2 second favourite with UK Betting Sites to be the next manager to leave in the dreaded Sack Race after another tough week for his side.
Spurs were beaten 1-0 away to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday before drawing 2-2 at home to Bournemouth on Super Sunday.
Some fans will take positives from Sunday's game though with Spurs coming from two goals down against the Cherries to earn a point in a spirited display.
BetVictor though have now slashed Postecoglou's odds from 6/1 into just 5/2 to be the next manager to leave after those tricky two games with a big second leg performance against Alkmaar needed this Thursday.
| Next Premier League Manager To Leave | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ruud van Nistelrooy | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Ange Postecoglou | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Ivan Juric | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Enzo Maresca | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Ruben Amorim | 14/1 | 6.7% |
What the expert says...
Ruud van Nistelrooy remains bookies favourite
Ruud van Nistelrooy still tops the betting market to be the next manager to go after yet another loss for his Leicester side against Chelsea on Sunday.
Bookies have placed the Dutch manager as the favourite for the last couple of months and he stays that way with the Foxes form not turning around.
Leicester are now 1/33 to be relegated from the Premier League this season and it's unclear how long Van Nistelrooy will stick around for.
The Sack Race: Betting on the Next Manager to be Sacked
Last year's promoted teams now heavily odds-on to go straight back down
Betting odds also remain available on the relegation battle this season and it looks increasingly likely that it'll be last season's promoted teams who go back down.
Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich are the three frontrunners in this market with all three of them odds-on to be relegated.
Wolves follow them in the market at 8/1 with Manchester City 14/1 with a potential points deduction looming over them from the 115 charges case.
| Premier League Relegation 24/25 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Southampton | 1/1000 | 99.9% |
| Leicester | 1/33 | 97.1% |
| Ipswich | 1/12 | 92.3% |
| Wolverhampton | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Man City | 14/1 | 6.7% |
