Next Premier League Manager To Leave Odds: Farke's Future In Doubt
Vitor Pereira was the latest manager to lose his job this season, paying the price for Wolves' winless start to the campaign.
He was sacked following the club's 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, the 11th game they have failed to win this season.
Ange Postecoglou, Graham Potter and Nuno Espirito Santo - now in charge of West Ham - had already been shown the door, but who will be next to go?
Betting sites have compiled a market for the Premier League sack race, and Leeds boss Daniel Farke currently heads the market, closely followed by Fulham's Marco Silva.
Here, Gambling.com looks at the main contenders to be the next top-flight manager to leave his job, using the latest available odds.
Farke Favourite For Chop
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 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest before the international break saw them drop to 16th in the table, and the fans are starting to grow restless.
The Whites have problems at both ends of the pitch, but the lack of goals is the biggest worry for Farke's side.
Leeds have the second-worst goal-scoring record so far this season, while they also have one of the worst goal-conceded totals in the division.
They now have a horrible run of fixtures, including Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in their next four games, so picking up points is going to be very difficult.
Farke's future will hinge on those results, and his price of 6/5 to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked could shorten considerably.
Silva Era Coming To An End?
Marco Silva’s stock at Fulham has dipped sharply this term, and betting apps now make him the 15/8 second favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked, after his odds tumbled dramatically after recent results.
A year on from delivering a club-record 54-point, mid-table finish, the Cottagers have slumped to 15th in the table, with just 11 points from 11 games.
That leaves them only a point above the relegation places, with five defeats in their last six league outings.
Injuries have exposed what is still one of the smallest squads in the division, and Silva’s frustration has been compounded by stalled contract talks.
The Portuguese's current deal is up at the end of the season, and the board is weighing up their options amid growing relegation fears.
Premier League Sack Race Odds:
Manager | Club | Odds | Betting Site |
Daniel Farke | Leeds | 6/5 | |
Marco Silva | Fulham | 15/8 | |
Eddie Howe | Newcastle | 9/1 | |
Scott Parker | Burnley | 11/1 | |
Arne Slot | Liverpool | 16/1 | |
David Moyes | Everton | 16/1 | |
Nuno Espirito Santo | West Ham | 20/1 | |
Thomas Frank | Tottenham | 25/1 | |
Sean Dyche | Nottingham Forest | 25/1 |
Howe Enduring Tough Times
Eddie Howe is no longer viewed as bullet-proof at St James’ Park, with most football betting sites putting him into sack-race contention at around 9/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave.
It’s a stark contrast to earlier in 2025, when he ended Newcastle’s 56-year wait for a major trophy with the League Cup and secured another crack at the Champions League.
This season, the league form has sagged badly, with Newcastle winless away from home and just two points above the relegation zone.
Champions League wins over Union Saint-Gilloise, Benfica and Athletic Club have been impressive, but back-to-back 3–1 defeats at West Ham and Brentford, along with growing rumbles of discontent from some areas of the supporters, could put Howe under increasing pressure if results don't improve.
Pressure On Parker
Scott Parker is another boss in the sack race betting odds, priced at 11/1 with William Hill, despite a start that should fit with expectations for Burnley.
The former Fulham and Bournemouth manager arrived at Turf Moor in July 2024 and promptly delivered a third promotion of his career, guiding the Clarets back to the Premier League, but survival is already looking like a slog.
Burnley have 10 points from 11 games, sitting 17th and only outside the drop zone on goal difference, with Parker’s side heavily reliant on results at Turf Moor.
Home wins over Sunderland and Leeds have helped, but bruising defeats to Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City have left them in the mire.
If results don’t pick up soon, the market will only shorten further on Parker, becoming the latest Premier League manager to pay the price.
Merseyside Managers In Trouble?
David Moyes and Arne Slot, both priced at 16/1, are the surprise names in the next manager to leave market with some bookmakers.
Everton are 13th with 15 points from 11 games and have often underperformed, despite showing some signs of encouragement.
A bruising 3–0 home defeat to Tottenham underlined how fragile Moyes' team is, particularly against the so-called big teams.
On the red half of Merseyside, Slot’s situation is different but no less tense.
Liverpool burst out of the blocks this season, but a 3–0 loss at Manchester City made it five league defeats already, and performances from the summer's big-money arrivals have been hugely disappointing.
Questions have also been raised about Mohamed Salah’s struggles, but the board has insisted that there have been no talks about changing the manager, and Slot continues to have the backing of supporters.
Other Managers At Risk
Also included in the sack-race betting are a trio of managers who have had mixed seasons.
Nuno (20/1) has steadied the ship with West Ham after a choppy spell, going back to basics and registering enough home wins to keep serious pressure at bay.
Thomas Frank (25/1) retains plenty of support thanks to Tottenham’s front-foot style, but inconsistency and defensive lapses mean his name remains in the sack race betting.
Sean Dyche (25/1), meanwhile, has improved work-rate and set-piece threat at Nottingham Forest, and his side have picked up a valuable four points in the last two games.
Being the third manager of the season at the City Ground, he is likely to be given time unless results collapse dramatically.
