Next Norwich Manager Odds: Gary O'Neil Tipped For Canaries Role
Liam Manning is under increasing pressure to keep his job as Norwich City manager, with a 3-1 derby defeat to Ipswich being the Canaries' fifth loss in nine league games.
Manning only joined the club in the summer after leaving Bristol City, but there is unrest among some supporters with the club lying 19th in the table.
If the axe were to fall on the 39-year-old, betting sites have installed Gary O'Neil as the favourite to take over at Carrow Road.
Here, Gambling.com looks at the contenders to be the next Norwich manager.
O'Neil Waiting Patiently
O'Neil made 51 appearances for Norwich between 2014 and 2016, and now finds himself at the head of the market to replace Manning.
His ability to manage is unquestionable, and he could be the man to guide Norwich back to the Premier League.
The 42-year-old has plenty of experience coaching in the top flight, having managed at Bournemouth and, most recently, Wolves.
O'Neil has been waiting patiently to make the step back into management, and is the 10/11 favourite with betting apps for the Carrow Road vacancy.
Next Norwich City Manager Odds:
Manager | Odds | Probability |
Gary O'Neil | 10/11 | 52.4% |
Russell Martin | 5/4 | 44.4% |
Michael Carrick | 11/4 | 26.7% |
Danny Rohl | 7/2 | 22.2% |
Sean Dyche | 4/1 | 20% |
Ralph Hasenhuttl | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Michael Beale | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Jack Wilshere | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Kevin Muscat | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Wayne Rooney | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Martin Looking To Bounce Back
Russell Martin endured a torrid time in charge of Rangers this season, eventually getting the sack after a poor run of results and amid supporter unrest.
In addition, he also disappointed in charge of Southampton, meaning his reputation has taken a knock after a good start to his managerial career.

The 39-year-old is likely to want a break from the craziness of the job, but he could be tempted to return to a club he represented over 280 times as a player.
Martin is priced at 5/4 to get the job should Manning leave.
Carrick Could Shine At Carrow Road
Despite having been sacked by Middlesbrough in the summer, Michael Carrick is still considered to be one of the brightest young managers in England.
The former Manchester United midfielder did an impressive job at the Riverside during his three-year tenure, leading them into the play-offs and to an EFL Cup semi-final.
He could be the ideal match for a club such as Norwich, and fans would likely be happy if he was the next boss to take the hotseat at Carrow Road.
Carrick is priced at 11/4 with football betting sites.
Rohl A Wanted Man
Danny Rohl is still without a job despite being linked with several clubs.
The German did an impressive job at Sheffield Wednesday last season under challenging circumstances, and has shown enough to suggest he could make the step up to a bigger club with ease.
His achievement with the Owls will not have gone unnoticed by the Norwich hierarchy, and he is likely to be among the top candidates to replace Manning.
Rohl is 7/2 in the next Norwich City manager odds.
Dyche Experience Could Be Key
If the Norwich board would prefer to have experience over excitement, Sean Dyche could be the man for the job.
Out of work since leaving Everton in January, the 54-year-old knows what it takes to get a team promoted to the Premier League.
His defensive style is not for everyone, but it could be just what Norwich need right now.
Dyche would not be the most exciting appointment, but he is just 4/1 in the betting market.
Hasenhuttl Highly Regarded
Ralph Hasenhuttl has experience of English football after his spell with Southampton between 2018 and 2022.
Although his tenure at the Saints ended in disappointment, he does fit the type of manager Norwich have hired in the past.
Hasenhuttl was linked to the job before Manning was appointed, and he is 5/1 to replace him.
Elsewhere, Michael Beale (6/1) is thought to be in the running, while Jack Wilshere (8/1) and Kevin Muscat (10/1) are also considered to be contenders for the role.
Wayne Rooney is the 12/1 outsider to take over from Manning if he gets the sack.
