Bookies offer odds of 8/1 that a woman will be appointed as a manager in the EPL or EFL in 2024
Betting specials continue to be offered for potential outcomes in 2024 and one of those specials that are currently up with UK Betting Sites looks at the impact women could have in football this year.
Bookmakers give odds of 8/1 that a woman will be appointed as a manager in the EPL or EFL in 2024 with various clubs looking to break down barriers when it comes to women in football.
The Women's game has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years with viewing figures increasing and that gap in quality between that and the mans game closing more and more.
We could now see the first permanent woman manager in the EFL or EPL at some point this year with betting markets consistently having the odd woman here and there when new manager betting markets are released.
Bet365's latest betting odds suggest there's an 11% chance that we see a woman manager in the EFL or EPL in 2024 with manager's such as Emma Hayes linked with a crossover into the men's game.
What the expert says...
Hannah Dingley became the first woman to lead an elite English men's team when she became interim of Forest Green last summer
Last summer saw Hannah Dingley make history by becoming the first woman manager to take charge in English men's professional football with Forest Green Rovers.
Dingley led Forest Green for 13 days as Interim manager while the club looked for a new person to take over on a permanent basis.
Despite Dingley not getting the job permanently, her Interim role was a massive step in Women's management in the men's professional game.
