Next Premier League Manager To Leave 2024/25 Odds
Nuno Espirito Santo: 5/1
The new pre-season favourite in this market is Nottingham Forest's Nuno Espirito Santo. The Tricky Trees enter their third season in the top flight since winning promotion under Steve Cooper, with their current Portuguese boss coming up to his eighth month in charge.
All signs point to Forest having managed their summer well, making six smart signings without losing any key players. The fact that a newly-promoted manager doesn't occupy favouritism here suggests that bookmakers expect Nuno and his side to start slow, which again comes as a surprise considering their opening schedule looks like: Bournemouth (H), Southampton (A), Wolves (H), Liverpool (A) and Brighton (A).
Eddie Howe: 8/1
Before a single ball has been kicked in the upcoming campaign, Newcastle's Eddie Howe is touted as the second-favourite to leave his post first. That's because the 46-year-old is still in pole to succeed Gareth Southgate in the next England manager odds market, gaining admirers within the FA for being a young, dynamic coach with a track record for developing talent.
Howe had not previously been considered for the position back in 2016 due to his lack of top-flight experience, however, that is now a prerequisite that can no longer be levelled at him to be the next permanent manager after Lee Carsley was installed on an interim basis.
Question marks remain over whether he could be prized away from the project on Tyneside, but the allure of the England job in this current moment could prove too tempting for Howe to pass up.
Erik ten Hag: 8/1
Also positioned at odds of 8/1 is Manchester United's Erik ten Hag - for much different reasons than the aforementioned Howe. The pressure continues to intensify on the Red Devils boss, who enters his third campaign at Old Trafford and who has very few excuses now not to showcase some improvement at Old Trafford.
INEOS' sporting control looks to provide the structure necessary for ten Hag to flourish, but should this move not pay dividends, then the 25% stakeholders have established a ready-made replacement in the form of Ruud van Nistelrooy - a new addition to the club's backroom staff.
