Next Premier League manager sacked odds: Odds cut on struggling Spurs boss

It was another tough day at the office for Ange Postecoglou, as he followed up bruising defeats to Liverpool and Nottingham Forest with narrow losses to arch-rivals Arsenal and a further defeat to relegation candidates Leicester. 

After two managerial casualties earlier in December, the Spurs coach is most certainly on the endangered list. Indeed, Spurs have now lost more games than they have won this season – something unthinkable in the days of Mauricio Pochettino and his oft-unplayable axis of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.

However, after West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui was eliminated from the race after his dismissal, Postecoglou has now gone out in front as the most likely to be next to go.

Yet, new Southampton boss Ivan Juric has now joined him as being in grave danger of the sack.

Best next manager sacked odds – top 10 favourites

Selections to watch

Ange Postecoglou (Tottenham)

Until recently, many fans would have thought that Spurs' Ange Postecoglou was a dead cert for the sack. Yet, in the last few weeks, Tottenham have undergone a serious resurgence and are subsequently back in mid-table away from the relegation zone.

A 4-1 win against Ipswich this week cemented a strong February period for the Whites, with a double from Brennan Johnson being the highlight in a convincing victory that left the hosts no chance. H

Having been merely eight points above the drop zone just a few weeks ago, the Australian manager will be breathing a large sigh of relief with his team now in 12th place.

Spurs' best chance at silverware this season remains in the Europa League, which they still have a very good chance of winning.

Despite their recent upturn in results, bookies still see Postecoglou as somewhat in danger, pricing him at 5/2 to be the next manager to leave.

Ruud van Nistelrooy (Leicester)

Foxes coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is the most under-pressure boss in the Premier League at the moment. Recent reports state that he was unhappy with the club's lack of financial support in the January transfer window.

With a 4-0 loss to Brentford being the club's latest defeat, Leicester remain five points adrift of safety and are sat on 17 points, having lost all of the last four fixtures in disappointing fashion.

Their fortunes are showing no signs of changing at present, and thus Van Nistelrooy will likely be the next boss to go. 4/5 are his odds and they look very probable.
