No more managerial changes now 4/1 in the Sack Race market with 9 games left of the season
Betting odds continue to be offered on the dreaded Premier League Sack Race with the betting market now suggesting a 20% chance that we will see no more managerial changes this season.
No Manager to Leave now sits as the third favourite in the betting market with 9 games left of the Premier League season with clubs potentially feeling like a change in manager wouldn't help things now.
This season has seen six managers lose their jobs throughout the campaign with Sean Dyche the latest to leave after Everton sacked him and brought in David Moyes back at the start of January.
UK Betting Sites though now go 4/1 that we will not see another change happen this season with just two months and nine games left of the current campaign.
| Next Premier League Manager To Leave | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ruud van Nistelrooy | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Ange Postecoglou | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| No Manager to Leave | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Ivan Juric | 6/1 | 14.3% |
What the expert says...
Ruud van Nistelrooy remains the favourite to leave with Leicester's struggles continuing
Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy still sits as the odds-on favourite to leave his role this season as his team's struggles continued at the weekend.
Van Nistelrooy oversaw a 3-0 defeat to his former club Manchester United on Super Sunday with the Foxes not looking like they could get near the Reds throughout the match.
Leicester have won just 7 points in his 16 games in charge and are now 9 points off 17th place Wolves in the Premier League table with a big swing needed in goal difference too.
The Sack Race: Betting on the Next Manager to be Sacked
Relegation battle looks all but done with three promoted teams going straight back down
Realistically the relegation battle is all but over this season with last year's promoted teams all looking like going straight back down with Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton filling the bottom three spots respectively.
Leicester are now 1/80 to be relegated with Ipswich also odds-on at 1/25 to go down with bookmakers stopping offering odds on Southampton's relegation with the Saints on 9 points.
Wolves sit in that 17th position just a place outside of the relegation zone but are 14/1 to go down with bookies suggesting that there's just a 6.7% chance of a big swing happening.
