Russell Martin Red Hot Favourite In The Next Leicester Manager Odds
The best football betting sites in the UK are constantly updating their next Leicester City manager odds market.
The name at the top of the list in the next Leicester manager odds market with our experts is Russell Martin.
Martin is best known for being a player for Norwich – but since hanging up his boots has turned his hand to management.
He steered Southampton to promotion last year via the play-offs and won many irers within the game for his possession-based style of play, inspired by Pep Guardiola.
Having made a horror start to life in the Premier League, the Saints pulled the trigger on Martin’s reign in December after a 5-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Leicester got themselves promoted last season with a similar brand of football under Enzo Maresca. With the Foxes already relegated, could it be that their hierarchy see Martin as the man to lead them back to the Premier League?
Owls Manager Rohl In Running To Be Next Leicester Boss
One name that is being thrown around in the next Leicester manager market with interest is Danny Röhl.
The German coach is currently in charge at Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.
Wednesday are the first club that the former defender has taken charge of, but he has impressed many since he became the youngest manager in the English Football League aged just 34.
Röhl has also emerged as the favourite to be the next Southampton manager so the Foxes may have to be quick to get in there first.
Sean Dyche In Contention For Leicester Manager Role
After being sacked by Everton in early January, Sean Dyche is the third favourite in the next Leicester manager odds market.
Dyche was under pressure at Goodison Park for the bulk of his tenure at the Merseyside club, whom he ed in 2023.
He only just prevented them from getting the drop that season – they finished 17th – while the 2023/24 campaign was marginally better when they came 15th.
Dyche is free to talk to other clubs and will now be a name chucked around a lot should a vacancy come up.
Before Everton, Dyche was manager at Watford and then made his name during a decent ten-year period at Burnley between 2012 and 2022.
As a result, the best betting sites in the UK have installed Sean Dyche as one of the market leaders in the next Leicester City manager odds market – should the Foxes call time on Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Who Will Be The Next Leicester City Manager? Ex-Villa boss Steven Gerrard Fancied
Steven Gerrard is thought to be looking for a return to the English Premier League after he left Saudi club Al Ettifaq in January.
Having led Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title in 2021, Gerrard got his first taste of Premier League management by getting the Aston Villa job in November 2021, replacing Dean Smith.
Gerrard’s tenure at Villa Park ended in failure, leading to his dismissal after just 11 months.
Interestingly, Gerrard was considered for the Leicester job before Enzo Maresca was appointed in the summer of 2023. The Liverpool legend returned to management that summer at Al Ettifaq, but he is currently out of work.
Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton reacted to our ‘Leicester City Manager Odds’ saying:
“Current Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has now confirmed he’ll be leaving after their final game of the season – and it seems Martin Russell is the man the Foxes want to replace him.
“In his last Championship stint, Russell Martin guided Southampton to promotion and with clear parallels to Enzo Maresca in of style of play and footballing philosophy it’s clear to see why Martin is the favourite for the job at the King Power Stadium.”
