Next Premier League Manager to Leave betting
Daniel Farke is the odds-on favourite to be the next manager to leave

The Leeds manager is the odds-on favourite to become the fifth managerial casualty of the season but Scott Parker and Marco Silva are also under pressure...


Daniel Farke is the 4/61.67 favourite to become the fifth Premier League manager to lose his job after his Leeds United team were beaten by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. 

As top-flight domestic football pauses for this week's international break, Farke is a man under pressure after four defeats in five league matches for Leeds left them just a point above the relegation zone. 

Leeds, who were promoted from the Championship last season, are 15/82.88 to be relegated. They lost 3-1 to Forest and, the week before, 3-0 to Brighton so conceding goals on the road is a problem for the Yorkshire club.

Farke deserved credit for getting Leeds back into the Premier League but there were rumblings earlier this year that the club's owners did not see him as the ideal man to steer them through a top flight season. Will they dismiss him while Leeds still have time to save their season?

The international break is traditionally a moment when clubs take stock and, with no match for two weeks, it can be the ideal time for a managerial change. The current break is the last one until March. 

Parker and Silva under pressure after losses

Scott Parker 5/16.00 is next in the betting after his Burnley team were beaten 3-2 at West Ham in a potential relegation six-pointer. The Clarets are one point are level with the 18th-placed Hammers and only out of the dropzone on goal difference. 

Saturday's defeat was Burnley's second in a row, although they followed a two-match winning run. For West Ham, it was a second consecutive win but Nuno Espirito Santo 6/17.00 is still the third favourite to be the next manager out and suffer the indignity of being sacked twice in the same season.

Fulham fans will be alarmed by their team's form. They have just one victory in six (W1L5) and that came against bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

Cottagers boss Marco Silva 7/18.00 established them as a midtable force in recent seasons but their slide in 2025/26 is concerning. And they are 15th, just one point better off than West Ham in 18th, so the Premier League relegation battle is shaping up to be close.

Newcastle's Eddie Howe is the other Premier League manager at single figure odds in the sack race - he is 17/29.50 fifth favourite with the Toon just two points above the relegation zone.

And could Liverpool really sack Arne Slot the season after he wins the league? The Liverpool boss is [14/1] to get the boot following the Reds' defeat to Manchester City. 

If your club gets draggged in, you will want the right manager in charge - food for thought for owners perhaps during the next 10 days or so.
