Next Manager Odds

In professional football, managerial changes are so commonplace that they’ve been referred to as a “merry-go-round,” with new and old faces taking up new roles, hoping to change a club's fortunes and get it back on the path to success.  

Some clubs enforce some managerial changes while the manager willingly leaves at others. Either way, there’s so much to enjoy about new manager betting markets. Betano presents football odds and markets for replacing the head coach role at the biggest clubs, and you can have your say on where you think somebody will end up.  

What are the Next Manager Betting Markets?  

The rumour mill starts to churn whenever a manager is under pressure from fans or somebody has left their post, and numerous candidates for the position exist. Here are some of the most exciting next-manager markets available to bet on this summer:  

Next Permanent France Manager  

Being France's manager is the country's most prestigious football managerial job, so there'll be many interested parties despite the evident pressures of the position.  

Didier Deschamps will go down as one of the country’s most decorated coaches, winning the World Cup as a player and manager, securing the UEFA Nations League trophy in 2021, and finishing runners-up in the 2016 Euros.  

But it’s time for a change, and Deschamps will leave after the 2026 World Cup. Some big names, including Zinedine Zidane and Sir Gareth Southgate, are in the frame to replace him. You can bet on the next France manager today at Betano.  

Next Permanent Real Madrid Manager 

Is there a bigger club in the world to manage than Real Madrid? It’s tough to argue against that, and despite the success that Carlo Ancelotti has brought to the club over the years, it’s unlikely that the Madristas will tolerate such a poor season by Real’s high standards. They look set to miss out on the La Liga title and crashed out of the Champions League, losing 5-1 to Arsenal on aggregate.  

But who will Real turn to as they seek to replace one of Europe’s greatest ever managers? Club legend Zidane could be tempted by a third spell in charge of the team he played for with distinction, while Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso might see this summer as the ideal time to return home to Spain. Only time will tell, but the writing is on the wall for Ancelotti.  

Next Permanent Tottenham Hotspur Manager  

Spurs haven’t adapted to life after Harry Kane, and Ange Postecoglou has endured an extremely disappointing campaign after much early promise in North London. 

The former Celtic boss has been under pressure all season, particularly after announcing that he “always wins something in (his) second season.” Well, if Ange fails to win the Europa League, he will almost certainly be shown the door by Daniel Levy.  

Many are in the frame to replace the embattled Aussie, including Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, who has overseen an incredible transition at the south-coast club. Former manager Mauricio Pochettino will also be in the running. At the same time, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank may move across the capital to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if given the opportunity in the summer.  

Dozens of clubs decide to sack managers throughout a season to the point that it is no longer surprising when a downturn in form equals the boss losing their job. By the end of March 2025, 44 managers had left their jobs in the English football pyramid.  

Special mention goes to Southampton, the team rooted at the bottom of the Premier League. They have changed their coach twice, and there is plenty of football still to be played.  

Below are the details of some of the high-profile managerial departures in the top two tiers of English football since the start of 2025:

The dismissal of Ivan Juric surprised some, despite Southampton’s rotten form in the Premier League. He lasted only 108 days after replacing Russell Martin, with the Saints hierarchy deciding that a fresh summer approach is required to secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.  

The replacement of Sean Dyche with David Moyes at Everton looks vindicated as the Toffees prepare for life in their new stadium. Moyes has Everton well organised and more potent going forward, and he almost immediately staved off any relegation fears with a succession of early wins at Goodison.  

Southampton are once again looking for a new manager, but the board might not act until the end of the season. Simon Rusk will step in as interim manager to navigate the final Premier League fixtures, with club favourite Adam Lallana taking a prominent coaching role.  

Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl is the early favourite to take over at St Mary’s this summer, though he’s under contract at Hillsborough until 2027.  

Steven Gerrard might see the Southampton job as the ideal opportunity to get back into the English game, while former Bournemouth and Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is also in the running.  

Below are the current odds for the next Southampton manager at the time of writing:  

• Danny Rohl 6/4*  
• Gary O’Neil 2/1*  
• Steven Gerrard 10/1*  
• Sean Dyche 12/1*  
• David Wagner 14/1*
