Next Premier League manager sacked odds: 5/1 on rock-bottom 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

Ruud van Nistelrooy (Leicester)

Although it seems unlikely that another manager will leave their post before the end of the season, Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently leading the pack. Bookies have the Dutchman priced at 4/6, as he is reportedly very unhappy with the lack of funding he received in January after taking over at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes have all of their last five games, with the club's last victory coming in a shock 2-1 win over Tottenham at the end of January. Leicester have in fact not scored a league goal since that game, which epitomises the struggles they are facing.

With many fans feeling the club jumped the gun by sacking previous manager Steve Cooper, it has been a wholly unhappy season for Van Nistelrooy, who looks likely to be seeing his side relegated come the end of the campaign.

Ivan Juric (Southampton)

Southampton boss Ivan Juric is 5/1 to be the next manager sacked, as his incredibly unsuccessful spell at St. Mary's continues.

A 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves means that it is essentially game over for Southampton now, as they sit 17 points away from safety with nine games to play. The club are also greatly at risk of beating Derby County's unhappy record of 11 points from the 2007/08 season. Saints currently have nine points and only two wins from their 29 fixtures.

While this was to be expected with the quality of the squad, Juric has done nothing to improve results since the sacking of Russell Martin, and thus provides fair value for punters to be the next manager dismissed.
