Next Premier League manager sacked odds: Farke, Amorim and the early hot seat contenders

With the 2025-26 Premier League season getting closer, teams are getting ready for it and looking for a strong start, which won't be the case for many teams.

So, some Premier League managers could find themselves in danger of getting sacked early in the season, and some of them already enter the new season with a chip on their shoulder.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the next PL manager sacked odds ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Best next manager sacked odds

The odds for the next Premier League manager sacked market have been released, so let's take a closer look at the main favourites:

Promoted trio

We saw all three promoted teams get relegated twice in a row now, and last season, only Ipswich's manager, Kieran McKenna, wasn't sacked.

With that in mind, managers of Leeds (Daniel Farke), Burnley (Scott Parker), and Sunderland (Regis Le Bris) will all have to prove they belong in the Premier League. Some of their teams might be patient and give them enough time, but some might panic and react quickly if things start to go sideways.

Daniel Farke is the main candidate to be the first manager sacked, but the other two promoted managers aren't far behind.

Keith Andrews (Brentford)

Taking over from Thomas Frank, who put Brentford on the map by earning them promotion to the Premier League and keeping them there for the last four seasons, wasn't going to be easy for any manager. However, this will be a particularly tough task for Keith Andrews since this will be his first-ever job as a manager.

Andrews was an assistant manager with a few other clubs, but he spent the last season at Brentford as their set-piece coach. With his lack of experience as a head coach, Andrews could quickly find himself out of depth, especially at this level, which is why he's the second most likely manager to get sacked, according to the bookies.

Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)

The Portuguese manager spent the entire last season on the hot seat and the only reason why he wasn't sacked was his run in the Europa League, where the Red Devils reached the final. However, after losing to Spurs in the final, many saw Amorim getting the boot, which in the end didn't happen, so he's still in charge of the team.

That being said, Amorim enters the new season with a sword hanging over his head and if Manchester United get to a rough start, he will be gone this time. He's chances are running out at Old Trafford, especially with Man Utd spending a lot of money this summer to improve the team, so there will be no excuse for Amorim this season.

Vitor Pereira (Wolves)

Although Wolves were in a bad spot before Pereira took charge of them last season, pretty much saving them from relegation, he could find himself on the hot seat if Wolverhampton start the season poorly and since they are one of the main candidates for relegation once again, that is not a far-fetched scenario.

Of course, we expect Pereira to have some leeway based on last season's results, but if Wolves are in the relegation zone after a couple of months, he could become the main candidate to get sacked.

Graham Potter (West Ham)

While Potter steered the Hammers away from the relegation zone since taking over the reins in January, it was hardly an impressive showing, with West Ham only winning five of the 18 Premier League games under Potter in charge. That was enough for West Ham to finish the season in 14th place in the standings, but that is also far below the team's ambitions.

So, if Potter can't get more out of West Ham at the start of the new season, he might find himself in the hot seat sooner rather than later, especially after having the summer transfer window to tailor the team according to his wishes.

Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace)

Glasner will forever be a part of Crystal Palace's history since he brought them their first major trophy when he lifted the FA Cup last season with a win over Man City in the final. That will go a long way in ensuring his job security, but don't be surprised if he also finds himself in a hot seat a few months into the season if Palace struggle in the Premier League.

After all, with Crystal Palace also playing in Europe next season, their team might be stretched too thin, and that could lead to poor league results.

We've seen something similar with Leicester City after their shocking title win in 2016 when Claudio Ranieri, who brought the Foxes their first-ever Premier League title, was sacked the following season, although he did survive as their manager until February.

In any case, Glasner will have enough time to prove that he can handle the condensed schedule without getting in trouble in the Premier League, but if things go awry at some point, winning the FA Cup might not be enough to save him.
