Next Swansea Manager Odds: Sheehan Favourite For Permanent Swans Role

Swansea's search for a permanent manager continues after Luke Williams was sacked following a poor run of results.

The Liberty Stadium club have won just two of their last 10 Championship games and they travel to Preston 16th in the table, 11 points off a place in the play-offs. 

Here, we look at the names being mentioned as possible replacements at the Welsh club along with the next Swansea manager odds.

We also have the latest odds offered by the best betting sites.

Sheehan Off To Great Start As Interim Boss

A 3-0 win at home to a side currently in the play-off places was the perfect way for Alan Sheehan to start his audition to be Swansea's next permanent manager. 

Sheehan was put in temporary charge of the Swans, but if he continues to pick up wins, then the club will have no choice but to end their search and keep the former Republic of Ireland defender in their dugout. 

The 38-year-old was an assistant to Williams, so he'll know the players well. The club have been keen to promote from within in the past.

At 1/3, it's Sheehan's job to lose.  

Next Swansea Manager Odds

Time Right For Lowe Return

The time might be right for Ryan Lowe to return to management and Swansea might be the perfect fit. 

Lowe has been out of work since his departure as Preston manager after losing their season opener 2-0 to Sheffield United at Deep Dale. 

Swansea need a manager who can steady the club and move them towards a top-half finish and Lowe's expertise in the league would help.

Lowe is 8/1 for a place in the Deep Dale dugout. 

Buckingham Fits Profile

Former Oxford United boss Des Buckingham is next in the betting to take the reigns at Swansea after Williams' sacking.

At just 40 years old, he fits the profile of what the club's decision-makers look for in a manager.

Many Oxford fans were upset to see him leave in December, having enjoyed promotion to the Championship during his tenure.

He is currently priced at 10/1 with betting apps to return to management at Swansea.

Ramsay In The Running

Eric Ramsay is another in contention to be named Swansea's next manager. 

Ramsay was player development coach at Manchester United when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag were in charge.

The 33-year-old also has experience of working with the Welsh national team and as head coach, he guided Minnesota United to the MLS play-offs. 

Fluent in Spanish and French, Ramsay is 12/1 to be named as Williams' replacement.  

Gerrard Heading To Wales?

He has already managed in Scotland and England, and now Steven Gerrard might be moving to Wales to take the job at Swansea.

The Liverpool legend has been linked with a number of managerial positions since leaving Al-Ettifaq in January.

Having had a hugely successful time at Rangers, his spell with Aston Villa ended in disappointment.

He is said to be eager to return to the game, and Swansea could be a good fit. 

He is currently priced at 20/1 with BetVictor to get the job.

Carsley A Creditable Candidate

Lee Carsley returned to his role as manager of England's Under 21s having taken on a caretaker role for the Three Lions team after Gareth Southgate stepped down following Euro 2024 and the start of Thomas Tuchel's reign began. 

Generally regarded as a very intelligent coach, Carsley might fancy a return to club management and this job could provide him with the platform he needs to make a name for himself as a coach in his own right.

Having recently been linked with the Blackburn Rovers role, the 50-year-old is currently 16/1 to be the next Swansea manager.

Edwards Among Chasing Pack 

Luton parted ways with Rob Edwards at the turn of the year after they failed to pull clear of the relegation zone. 

Things did not go well for the 42-year-old this season, but he previously led the Hatters to promotion to the Premier League, and he is now 25/1 for the Swansea job.

Raphael Wicky was linked with the Sunderland vacancy last summer and is also 25/1 along with former Leeds boss Jesse Marsch.
