The favourites to be next Premier League manager to leave | OneFootball

Premier League boardrooms have been busy of late, with Wolves and Southampton among the clubs to have brought down the axe.

Gary O’Neil and Russell Martin were fired from their positions after poor starts to the season, as both teams languished in the Premier League’s relegation places.

The managerial duo paid the price for shortcomings this season, but look unlikely to be the last as change is considered at several clubs. We’ve decided to look at which managers are most under fire right now. For those interested in the latest football odds and betting sites not on gamstop, we’ve ranked the favourites to be the next Premier League manager to leave their role.

The favourites to be the next Premier League manager to leave

Ruud van Nistelrooy (33/1)

Leicester looked to Ruud van Nistelrooy to salvage their season after Steve Cooper’s dismissal in November. Cooper had only arrived in the summer but was shown the door after a poor start to the campaign. Just seven league games into his reign, Van Nistelrooy is already under pressure. The new manager bounce that brought four points from his first two games has subsided, with a run of five straight defeats leaving the Foxes in a perilous position.

Ivan Juric (33/1)

Another managerial change that is yet to have had the desired impact. Ivan Juric was appointed as Southampton manager less than three weeks ago but the change of coach has done little to improve results. It’s three consecutive losses for Juric, whose side are rooted to the bottom of the table with just six points. Southampton’s start is the worst in Premier League history after 20 games.

Ange Postecoglou (25/1)

Ange Postecoglou is another manager whose team have frustrated him this season. Spurs have fluctuated between the sublime and ridiculous in a season that has included a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City, alongside defeats to previously winless Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town. Postecoglou’s adventurous football has also split opinion, after Spurs blew two-goal leads to lose to Brighton and Chelsea. A refusal to compromise on his principles could see the Australian fall on his sword, unless results improve.

Sean Dyche – Everton (10/1)

Could new owners spell trouble for Sean Dyche at Everton?

A deal has been signed and the Friedkin Group have now taken charge of the Merseysiders after lengthy ownership uncertainty. First thing on the agenda will be deciding if Dyche is the man to lead the new era. The 53-year-old has kept Everton in the division in recent campaigns, but concerns over the club’s playing style and recruitment are prominent. Everton are the second-lowest scorers in the Premier League this season, while several of Dyche’s more expensive signings have barely featured since arriving. Beto (£26m), Jake O’Brien (£16m) and Youssef Chermiti (£12.5m) have struggled to make an impact.

Julen Lopetegui – West Ham (1/25)

West Ham’s change of coach has not worked out as hoped with Julen Lopetegui enduring a tough start at the London Stadium.

An exit appears likely for the Spaniard, who is the odds-on favourite to be the next manager to leave his role. West Ham have reportedly held talks with Graham Potter, as the Irons consider a change in the dugout.

Pre-season expectations of a challenge for European football are fading, with West Ham marooned in 14th.
