West Ham manager Julen Loptegui drifts in the betting market to be the next manager to go
Betting odds continue to be offered on the dreaded Sack Race with West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui now drifting after his side's impressive 2-0 away win to Newcastle on Monday night.
West Ham went into the match as the betting outsiders with bookmakers and pundits giving them next-to-no chance of getting a result but they ran out winners at St James Park.
BetVictor have now drifted the odds on Lopetegui to be the next Premier League manager to leave with the Hammers boss favourite 6/4 favourite on Monday morning to leave next.
Now he's 2/1 second favourite with Russell Martin replacing him at the top of the betting odds to be the next manager to go in the Premier League.
| Next Premier League Manager to Leave | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Russell Martin | 5/6 | 54.5% |
| Julen Lopetegui | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Gary O'Neil | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Oliver Glasner | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Sean Dyche | 14/1 | 6.7% |
What the expert says...
Southampton boss Russell Martin is the odds-on favourite to leave next
Russell Martin has been in and around the top of the betting market for the past month with his Southampton side sitting bottom of the Premier League table.
Martin now shortens into favourite following that massive win for West Ham and yet another loss for the Saints at the weekend against league leaders Liverpool.
That performance was a good one by Southampton though with a Mo Salah penalty needed to help the Reds win 3-2 and it looks unlikely that Southampton will relieve Martin of his duties any time soon.
The Sack Race: Betting on the Next Manager to be Sacked
Steve Cooper was the latest manager sacked this season
Leicester were the latest team to sack their manager this season after deciding that Steve Cooper was not the right man for the job on Sunday.
The sacking came from nowhere with the Welsh manager just a few months into his three-year contract and now the Foxes are looking for his replacement.
David Moyes and Graham Potter are the joint favourites in the market to be next Leicester City manager with bookmakers unable to settle the pair in the market.
