Next Manager to be sacked odds

During the Premier League season, it isn't uncommon for a manager to be sacked, with the financial implications surrounding finishing as high up the table as possible or even staying in the league in the case of some teams. When looking at the Premier league manager to leave their club, there are a number of important elements that need to be taken into consideration including form, expectations and fixtures.

If a team has won 0 games but only faced teams in the top six, it's unlikely that a manager will be sacked, if they're losing to teams they are expected to beat, then you'll start to see changes.

Current 2024/25 Premier League manager to leave odds

As it stands there are two managers who look likely to be the next managerial casualty in 2024, the sack race odds favour Chelsea and Newcastle United's managers.

Enzo Maresca has come into what is widely regarded as an impossible job at Chelsea and faces a difficult start to the season. It wouldn't be a surprise - particularly after a poor pre-season, if the Italian lost his job before December.

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe suffered a tough season with Newcastle in 2023/24 but he is the favourite to take the England job full-time, which is why he is the favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their club this season.

Who is the favourite to be sacked next?

Eddie Howe is the current favourite to be sacked at odds of under 5/1. If Eddie Howe leaves Newcastle for the England job, you'll be able to find the next Newcastle manager odds.

Premier League manager sackings on the rise!

A manager losing their job is an unfortunate side-effect of a team under performing in the Premier League and when looking at the betting odds for the next manager to be sacked, it is worth taking into consideration that manager sackings are on the rise. There have been ten or more manager sackings during ever season since 2005/06 but during last season, history was made was there were 32 manager changes during the campaign starting with Scott Parker being succeeded by Gary O'Neil in August 2022 to five managers leaving their clubs on June 30th.

For this particular betting market it is worth taking into consideration that only manager sackings apply for this particular betting market. Therefore, Andrew Crofts being replaced by Roberto De Zerbi wouldn't impact your bet but Graham Potter leaving Brighton & Hove Albion would win the bet if you backed Potter to be the next manager to leave his club and then checked out the next Brighton & Hove Albion manager odds and backed De Zerbi, that would be a separate bet.

The last three Premier League seasons sit in the top six seasons for manager departures during the season and we are a long way away from the 1995/96 campaign and the 1992/93 campaign where only two managers lost their jobs across both seasons. It's unlikely this season will set a record high in regards to managerial sackings but it wouldn't surprise anybody if the number reached double figures once again.

Which clubs have sacked the most managers in Premier League history?

There are two teams with the most Premier League manager changes in history (not including caretaker managers), one is currently in the league and one is not. The team who have had the most managerial changes in Premier League history is Chelsea, who after the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, have had 20 managerial changes but as Pochettino was removed from the role at the end of the campaign, only 12 of their sackings have occurred during the season, which is currently the highest in the league alongside Southampton.

Following those two clubs are arguably the teams with the safest managers this season, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, both clubs had solid campaigns and we believe it is unlikely that either team will see their manager league in the coming season.

Arsenal and Manchester United are perhaps unsurprisingly the clubs with the lowest sackings per season with Arsenal changing their manager just four times during the Premier League era and Manchester United with just five different managers. Although current Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag does find himself towards to the top of the list in Premier League sack race.
