Next Manager Summer Betting Odds PT 1

While many football observers are already starting to eye up the summer transfer markets as some extremely high-profile players look to be targeting moves in the next couple of months, there is also plenty of excitement still to come in regards to who actually winds up managing some of these sides. A couple very big teams have already parted with their managers and there are a couple who appear to be a little bit on the fence and may opt to make a move now that some higher-profile individuals are available.

Real Madrid are probably the biggest side currently in search of a new manager and this one appears to be already done and dusted after the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti. A familiar face to Real Madrid fans, Rafa Benitez looks to be returning for another spell at this massive club so you can expect things to get very interesting there next year. 

While the deal isn’t 100% confirmed - hence why there is still a betting market up right now - he is backed all the way down to a very slim 1/5 price tag with some books even listing him as low as 1/10. If you are looking to try to beat him or maybe you know something that the rest of us don’t, Jurgen Klopp is the next best priced contender at an 8/1 margin while living legend Zinedine Zidane trades at a anywhere from 6/1 all the up to a 12/1 listing right now with most major bookmakers. 

Derby County are also in the market for a new manager and this one looks to be done and dusted as well with Paul Clement trading at a very slim 1/19 to be appointed as their next permanent manager. You can back Gary Rowett and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink at a 12/1 margin if you think this one goes in another direction. 

Things are still up in the air for Steve Bruce at Hull City and it remains to be seen whether he will actually remain at the relegated club who will be competing in the league championship next season. It looks like Mike Phelan is likely to be named their next permanent manager and he’s a 7/2 margin in what looks to be a very open market. Steve McClaren is also in the mix here as the second choice with a 4/1 margin right now. Karl Robinson is also very much in the mix with a price of 5/1.
