Paul Hurst remains the favourite in the betting to become the next Salford City manager, with Parimatch and BetVictor both offering odds of 2/1 for the former Grimsby boss to return to the League Two dugout.
Hurst has managed across the EFL at the likes of Ipswich, Shrewsbury, Scunthorpe, and Grimsby; twice leading the Mariners into League Two, before his departure in late October.
Behind Hurst, you'll find Ryan Giggs (3/1), Karl Robinson (5/1), Paul Ince (8/1), and Dean Holden (12/1).
Ince was most recently in charge of Reading, a post he held from February 2022 - initially as caretaker - through to April 2023. This job came eight years after his previous stint at Blackpool, while he counts MK Dons (twice), Blackburn, Notts County, and Macclesfield as former clubs.
It's been nearly a year since Karl Robinson left Oxford back in February 2023, former Bristol City and Charlton boss Holden once again finds himself in the mix for another EFL opening, while Giggs is of course a co-owner of the club alongside Gary Neville and co.
Fellow Welshman Mark Hughes is next in the mix at 16/1. The experienced boss has previously had six spells in the Premier League, plus a five-year tenure at the helm of Wolves, while earlier this season he departed League Two Bradford City after nearly 20 months in charge, during which his side lost out to Carlisle in last season's play-offs.
Former Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley, who previously led Lincoln from non-league to League One, is also available at 16/1, alongside ex-Burton boss Dino Maamria.
If you're after some big prices, there's a whole host of managers hovering around the 25/1 and 33/1 region, including former League Two promotion winner Mark Bonner, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Scott Brown, Jonathan Woodgate, Steve Bruce, and current caretaker boss Simon Wiles.
