Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton reacted to our ‘Brighton Manager Odds’ saying:
“Brighton are not a club famed for getting rid of their managers willy-nilly, so current boss Fabian Hürzeler is still a way off getting sacked, despite a few small warning signs.
“However, having suffered an FA Cup exit and with their league form continuing to suffer, including the 4-2 defeat at Brentford over Easter, alarm bells might be starting to ring for the south coast club’s hierarchy.
“If things do get bad at the Amex, they could turn to Bristol City boss Liam Manning, who is earning rave reviews for his work on a shoestring budget.”
Who Will Be The Next Brighton Manager? Liam Manning Favourite For Hot Seat
Bristol City manager Liam Manning is leading the way in the next Brighton manager betting odds, according to the best betting sites in the UK.
Brighton owner Tony Bloom is known to ire Manning’s work. If he decided to end Fabian Hürzeler’s tenure, it wouldn’t be surprising if he tried to recruit Manning. The compensation for this move would not be an issue, as it would not be expensive to bring him on board.
The south-west club sit in the Championship play-offs despite having one of the lowest budgets in the division, so it is not surprising that their boss is attracting high-profile suitors.
Ex-Seagulls Star Rosenior On Club’s Radar
Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior is getting rave reviews for his management after making a flying start to life at the north-eastern French club. As a former Brighton player, he is no stranger to the Amex.
The former Hull City player and manager has quickly put behind him the disappointment of being relieved of his duties by the Tigers last summer. Many pundits felt this sacking was very harsh, so it’s not a surprise that he is going so well in Ligue Un.
Bloom praised Rosenior’s work as part of the club’s Under 23 coaching team before he left in 2019, therefore the best betting sites in the UK have him near the head of the market.
Manchester United Legend Could Be Considered For The Seagulls Job
The best betting sites in the UK are also suggesting that former Manchester United player Michael Carrick is firmly in the running to be the next Brighton manager.
Carrick is currently in charge at Championship side Middlesbrough and has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs.
The former midfielder started his career at West Ham and also played for Tottenham before winning 12 major trophies at Old Trafford.
Carrick was part of Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff at Manchester United and had a spell as caretaker manager when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left in 2021.
He was appointed Boro boss in October 2022 and could now be ready to make the leap to a Premier League side.
Two Former England Managers Also In The Running To Be Next Brighton Manager
Two other names in the next Brighton manager betting odds market are former England head coaches Gareth Southgate and Lee Carsley.
Southgate, of course, left his role with the Three Lions after their defeat in the final of Euro 2024. He said he wanted a break, which he’s had – so many are suggesting the former Middlesbrough manager will be ready to be tempted back into management.
However, with Southgate’s strong Crystal Palace links, it could be argued that a spell at bitter rivals Brighton might not be the best fit for him.
England Under 21s manager Carsley, who held the fort for the senior team after Southgate went, is also in the running as the 8/1 fourth favourite.
