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

The 2025-26 Premier League season is finally underway as Liverpool set their sights on back-to-back titles. Question is, who will be the first manager to get the sack this season?

Reds boss Arne Slot was able to invest heavily in his side, and the Dutchman is unlikely to be in the running for an early sacking. The same cannot be said about a lot of other managers – especially those who enjoyed promotion last season.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the next PL manager sacked odds.

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, was not sacked.

With that in mind, managers of Leeds United (Daniel Farke), Burnley (Scott Parker), and Sunderland (Regis Le Bris) will all have to prove that they belong in the Premier League. Some of their owners 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 leading candidate of the trio to be the first manager sacked, but the other two promoted managers are not far behind. When you consider the level of spending at all three clubs, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the respective hierarchies do not show much patience.

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, was not 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.

The saga surrounding Yoane Wissa has undermined the former Republic of Ireland international's efforts to put his own stamp on the team, and there are justified reasons as to why many are anticipating a relegation scrap for the Bees.

The win over Aston Villa in their first home match of the season has almost certainly given him some credit in the bank. Can he now build on that result in the weeks ahead?

Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)

Ruben Amorim was given a free pass last season due to the mess he inherited from Erik ten Hag. However, that free pass is no longer in play, and he now needs good performances and positive results.

His Manchester United team performed well in their opening league match of the season against Arsenal, despite losing, but they were then largely disappointing in their draw against Fulham in gameweek two.

Amorim's substitutions were questionable in the draw at Craven Cottage were questionable, to say the least, and the heat is now on.

Vitor Pereira (Wolves)

Vitor Pereira successfully kept Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League last season, yet a wide array of departures and only signing a handful of fresh faces leaves his side with their backs against the wall.

Wolves got off to a rotten start against Manchester City in their season opener, leaving Pereira under a little bit of pressure already.

Graham Potter (West Ham)

While Graham 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.

The Hammers have started the current season in terrible form, losing their opening two matches by an aggregate scoreline of 8-1. If that kind of form continues, Potter won't last long.
