Next Premier League Manager To Leave Odds: Postecoglou Sack Leads To Shake-Up

Ange Postecoglou became the third Premier League manager to be given his marching orders this season, but whose head will be the next to roll?

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelis Marinakis first sacked Nuno Espirito Santo in September and 39 days later it was the turn of Postecoglou to be shown the door.

In between, Graham Potter was dismissed by West Ham, although he has since returned to Sweden to help resurrect the country’s disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign.

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is now the new frontrunner in the Premier League sack race odds, although there is a clear second favourite on football betting sites.

Here, Gambling.com looks at the main contenders on the next top-flight manager to leave his job, using the latest available odds.

Next Premier League Manager To Be Sacked Odds: Heat On Pereira

Pereira signed a new three-year contract in September, having steered Wolves to Premier League safety last season, but his position at Molineux is already under scrutiny.

Winless Wolves remain rooted to the foot of the table with just two points from eight games, a dire run which has resulted in Pereira being priced at 6/4 on betting sites to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position.

The sale of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United in the summer has had a big impact on their attack which has yielded just five goals, although the loss of Rayan Ait-Nouri, who scored four times and provided seven assists, has not helped their cause either.

Wolves have a crucial home game against relegation rivals Burnley this weekend and defeat would see them at least six points adrift of safety.

Pereira needs to get a tune out of the players he has at his disposal, otherwise his odds could shorten further.

Premier League Sack Race Odds

Premier League Sack Race Odds: Farke Under Pressure

Daniel Farke twice failed to keep Norwich in the Premier League and the same fate could befall Leeds unless results start to improve.

Leeds went up as champions last season, but a 2-0 defeat at Burnley over the weekend saw them drop to 16th in the table and the fans are starting to grow restless.

The Whites have problems up front, with Wilfried Gnonto and Noah Okafor out injured, but Dan James made his return from a one-month lay-off at Turf Moor where Dominic Calvert-Lewin failed to have a shot on target, despite taking four attempts.

Leeds now have a horrible run of fixtures, including Brighton, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in their next seven games, so beating fellow strugglers West Ham on Friday night is imperative.

Lose that game at Elland Road and 4/1 on Farke becoming the next Premier League manger to be sacked will look like a great price.

Premier League Sack Race Betting: Amorim Buys Some Time

Ruben Amorim was 7/2 to be the next managerial casualty at the time of our previous preview, but a stunning 2-1 win at arch rivals Liverpool has resulted in his odds drifting to 8/1.

Harry Maguire’s late winner at Anfield moved United into the top half of the table, just two points behind the Premier League champions.

Remarkably, that was the first time since the end of the 2023/24 season and the start of the 2024/5 campaign that the Red Devils had won back-to-back games, so could this be a turning point under the Portuguese?

The jury remains out on Amorim, but he has the backing of part-owner Jim Ratcliffe and a reasonable run of games in which to gain some momentum.

Sack Race Odds: Nuno Fails To Deliver

Nuno Espirito Santo admits West Ham have a “problem” following a miserable 2-0 home defeat by Brentford which he described as “not good enough. Poor”.

The Portuguese’s first game at home was not helped by some fans staying away in protest at the club’s ownership and the stadium became even emptier as the match progressed.

The Hammers have taken just one point from Nuno’s first three games in charge and remain in the relegation zone with just one win from eight games. 

Nuno is “concerned” by the plight of the team and says the players must work hard to get the supporters back on side, but a defeat at Leeds this week would crank up the pressure even more.

The ex-Tottenham and Wolves boss is 8/1 to become the next Premier League manager to go.

Parker Boosts Survival Hopes

Elsewhere, Scott Parker helped his chances of keeping his job with a deserved 2-0 win against Leeds which lifted Burnley out of the bottom three.

Parker is 12/1 to be the next Premier League manager to be axed.

Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glaser, Brentford’s Keith Andrews and Fulham’s Marco Silva are all 16/1 on betting apps, the same price as Arne Slot, whose Liverpool team have lost their last four matches in all competitions.
