Ange Postecoglou remains top of the betting odds to win the dreaded Sack Race
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou remains the favourite with betting sites to win the Premier League Sack Race after another miserable week for his side as they were knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup.
Postecoglou has had the season to forget so far this campaign with his Tottenham side plagued with injuries and languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table.
All focus was on the domestic cups to take their mind off their poor Premier League season but a 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in their Carabao Cup second leg on Thursday was followed by a 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup fourth round to Aston Villa on Sunday.
BetVictor have kept Postecoglou at the top of the betting market after those two cup exits in the past week and it's unsurprising to see his odds shorten into 4/7 to leave next with the pressure mounting on the Australian.
| Next Premier League Manager To Leave | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ange Postecoglou | 4/7 | 63.6% |
| Ruud van Nistelrooy | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Ivan Juric | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Enzo Maresca | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Vitor Pereira | 25/1 | 3.8% |
What the expert says...
Tottenham's only chance of silverware now comes in Europa League
Any hopes of Tottenham winning a trophy this season now solely come down to the Europa League with the latest betting odds putting them as 5/1 second favourites for the competition.
Only Manchester United sit above them in the early market with Ruben Amorim's side 9/2 favourites to win the competition but we could well see both English sides go far.
Postecoglou has openly said that he wins a trophy in his second season and we will find out if that is the case in Europe with the manager becoming a hero for Spurs fans if he wins them the Europa League.

Plymouth cause biggest upset with win against Liverpool on Sunday
This weekend's FA Cup action saw the bottom team in the Championship Plymouth Argyle beat Premier League leaders Liverpool in one of the biggest shocks in recent history of the competition.
Plymouth headed into the match as 16/1 underdogs but a poor team selection from Arne Slot, with a weak bench, saw his Liverpool side get overran by the Greens.
Now the FA Cup Outright market sees Man City as the 2/1 favourites for the competition with Newcastle and Man Utd following behind the in the market respectively.
| FA Cup Winner 2024/25 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Newcastle | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Man Utd | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Aston Villa | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Bournemouth | 10/1 | 9.1% |
