Next Premier League Manager Bonus Bets
- By A.J. Ryder on May 22, 2012 16:53 GMT
There's a lot of post-season excitement brewing in the English Premier League right now with two prominent clubs (and Villa) all in search of new management. After Chelsea's dramatic capture of the Champions League Trophy, Roberto Di Matteo is now trading as the odds-on favourite to secure the Chelsea managerial helm.

What has become quite interesting is the fact that several bookmakers including Top UK Bookie William Hill have taken Spurs manager Harry Redknapp into 8/1 from 10/1 as a substantial sum of money has come in on the veteran gaffer.
Fabio Capello remains firmly in the mix for the Blues post as well with a listing of 5/2. Other contenders are Pep Guardiola at 11/1 and Rafa Benitez at a 16/1 price. Jose Mourinho had been in consideration but has just signed a long-term agreement with Real Madrid which will keep him there, presumably, until 2016 or whenever Fergie retires.
Wigan boss Roberto martinez was clipped significantly for the Liverpool gig with a 4/5 price that was once trading at 7/2 just a day or two ago. Andre Villas Boas continues to be floated at a 3/1 price tag while Rafa Benitez has been clipped from 10/1 to 8/1 for a dramatic, and rather controversial, return to Anfield.
Fabio Capello is also prominent in this market as well with a 25/1 price taken into 10/1 just today. Frank Rijkaard is an interesting outside option at 14/1 and it is going to be a very thorough vetting process at Liverpool so this one might still have a few swings in it.
The next permanent Aston Villa manager looks quite likely to be former Manchester United super sub Ole Gunnar Solksjaer who has just seen his price halved to 4/11 from a previous price of 4/5. The only other genuine contender for this one is Paul Lambert and he can be backed at 4/1.
