Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Vitor Pereira the new favourite
Vitor Pereira has been installed as the new favourite to become the fourth casualty of the 2025/26 Premier League Sack Race following the depature of Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest.
Ange Postecoglou became the third victim of this season's Sack Race after he was axed in the immediate aftermath of Forest's 3-0 defeat at home to Chelsea.
Now, attention has swiftly moved over to Pereira, who has yet to win a game this season at struggling Wolves.
Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites
We've run through the top contenders to be the third exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.
Vitor Pereira (Wolves): 3/1
Wolves are rock-bottom of the Premier League table and the only club yet to pick up a win after eight games.
They've lost six of those games, most recently a 2-0 defeat at Sunderland, which leaves the club five points from safety.
Yet, their boss, Vitor Pereira, has only just been handed a brand new contract through to the end of the 2028 season.
However, he now finds imself under real pressure as the 3/1 favourite to be sacked next.
Ruben Amorim (Man Utd): 4/1
Ruben Amorim has eased the pressure on his shoulders following back-to-back wins against Sunderland and Liverpool.
Initially touted as the man to revitalise the club, Amorim's debut 2024/25 campaign fell far short of expectations - managing just seven wins from 27 Premier League matches, with 14 defeats, as United slumped to 15th, their worst finish since 1974/75.
United endured a poor start to the current campaign but have since shown signs of improvement and will now hope to build on that brilliant win at Anfield.
Marco Silva (Fulham): 6/1
Next up we have Marco Silva at 6/1.
Fulham are 14th in the table with eight points from eight games. They've lost half of these and are currently on a three game losing run.
Silva doesn't appear to be under any imeddiate pressure, but will be worth keeping an eye on in the upcoming weeks.
Daniel Farke (Leeds): 8/1
Daniel Farke is available at 8/1 to be the fourth Premier League manager sacked.
Despite guiding Leeds to the Championship title in dramatic fashion on the final day, speculation earlier this summer suggested the club were considering a change at the top. While those rumours ultimately came to nothing, questions remain over Farke’s Premier League record.
Leeds have made a steady start to the new campaign, but supporters will be hoping for a more dynamic attacking approach in the coming weeks.
Keith Andrews (Brentford): 10/1
Keith Andrews completes the top five at 10/1.
Having taken over from long-time manager Thomas Frank in the summer, Andrews faced an uphill task following the departures of key figures such as Bryan Mbeumo, captain Christian Nørgaard, Yoane Wissa, and goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
Brentford's start to the season has been mixed, but they can take confidence from victories over Man United and Aston Villa, along with a hard-fought draw against Chelsea.
