Next Leicester Manager Odds: Dyche And Martin Neck And Neck For Foxes Job
Leicester's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed after their 1-0 home defeat to champions-elect Liverpool.
Dropping into a different league may not be the only change we see at the King Power Stadium in the coming days or weeks.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is under immense pressure to keep his job as the club plan for life back in the Championship and one report suggests he will eventually be sacked.
The best betting sites will continue to update their market on who might succeed the Dutchman.
The defeat to Arne Slot's side was the ninth successive home league game in which the Foxes had failed to score since a 2-2 draw with Brighton on December 8.
Van Nistelrooy, who has two years left to run on his contract, met with the City hierarchy this week, but is still waiting to hear about his future at the club.
The Foxes have little room for error when it comes to the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.
The former PSV Eindhoven manager will probably see the season out, but who will be in charge for the start of the new campaign in the Championship?
We take a closer look at some of the leading candidates and the latest next Leicester manager odds which suggest it is a two-horse race.
Martin Back In Front Again
How much damage did Russell Martin do to his reputation at Southampton?
Martin came across as a stubborn manager, who refused to change his style of play even though it left the Saints bottom of the Premier League.
Their relegation in a disastrous season was confirmed with seven matches left to play.
Martin's level might be the Championship and he may be the man to lead the Foxes back to the top flight.
The former Norwich defender was 3/1 at the start of the week, but despite falling behind Sean Dyche a couple of days later, he is once again the favourite at 11/10.
Dyche In Frame For Foxes Job
Sean Dyche was the overwhelming favourite to replace Van Nistelrooy following a report that the club were planning a move for the former Everton boss, but he has now been leapfrogged by Martin.
Football Insider claims in an exclusive that Van Nistelrooy will be sacked on the back of a "disastrous short reign" and that Dyche is viewed as the right man to replace the Dutchman.
Dyche twice won promotion to the Premier League with Burnley, but is out of work after being axed by the Toffees in January, almost two years into his reign.
Furthermore, Dyche lives in nearby Northampton, so he is within commuting distance of Leicester's training ground.
Dyche was 8/1 at the start of the week, but his odds were slashed to 4/6 before settling at 5/4 on Friday.
Rohl To Swap Owls For Foxes?
Danny Rohl was regarded as one of the brightest young coaches in the game last summer.
His Sheffield Wednesday side have missed out on the play-offs, but his work at Hillsborough under difficult circumstances shouldn't be ignored.
Reports of unpaid wages and unrest between supporters and the owner Dejphon Chansiri has made life difficult for Rohl.
Staying at Wednesday may do more harm than good and the time might be right to make a switch.
Rohl is 8/1 on football betting sites to be Leicester's next permanent manager.
Next Leicester Manager Odds
Manager | Odds | Probability |
Russell Martin | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Sean Dyche | 5/4 | 44.4% |
Danny Rohl | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Lee Carsley | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Gary O'Neil | 14/1 | 6.7% |
David Wagner | 16/1 | 5.9% |
John Terry | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Edin Terzic | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Steven Gerrard | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Gareth Southgate | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Erik ten Hag | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Carsley May Be Looking For Role In Club Game
Lee Carsley was thrust into the spotlight as England’s interim manager last year.
He is now back with the U21s, but the ex-midfielder may be angling for a move into the club game sooner rather than later.
Leicester will be one of the favourites for promotion back to the Premier League next season, and Carsley might feel comfortable in that role.
Carsley is renowned as a talented coach and a price of 10/1 suggests he is a possible contender to be Van Nistelrooy’s replacement.
O'Neil Would Be A Solid Choice
Leicester could do a lot worse than make a call to Gary O'Neil.
O'Neil has been out of work since Wolves sacked him in December, but his knowledge of the game would be ideal for a club like Leicester.
The former Bournemouth boss has plenty of experience of managing in the top flight and he might fancy the task of leading the Foxes back there.
O'Neil is 14/1 on betting apps to be van Nistelrooy's replacement.
Wagner A Dark Horse For Foxes Role
Other managers in the conversation include David Wagner (16/1), who was most recently in charge of Norwich.
The German secured promotion to the Premier League with Huddersfield in 2017 and knows the Championship well.
There are also a handful of high-profile names bubbling under such as former England manager Gareth Southgate, Steven Gerrard, ex-Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and John Terry, who are all 20/1.
Ex-Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic, the favourite to replace Daniel Farke should Leeds decide to part company with the German, is also 20/1.
