Premier League sack race odds: Which manager is most likely to leave next?
As we hit the March international break, there are a few Premier League managers whose futures are in doubt. Check out the latest odds for which manager will be next to leave their post.
Erik ten Hag has been the most high-profile exit of the 2024-25 season, parting ways with Manchester United at the end of October.
Alongside Ten Hag, Steve Cooper, Gary O’Neil, Russell Martin, Julen Lopetegui and Sean Dyche have all left their posts. Cooper, O’Neil and Martin were all sacked by Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton, respectively, with the trio battling hard to avoid relegation to the Championship.
Lopetegui had struggled to get going at West Ham United, with a mixture of poor results and a failure to win over the fans. Dyche, meanwhile, felt he had taken Everton as far as he could.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cooper’s replacement at Leicester, is the current favourite to be sacked next, odds on at 4/6 with Sky Bet. This represents a 60% implied probability of him being next to go.
Ange Postecoglou is second-favourite, as he continues to struggle at Tottenham Hotspur who have lost 15 league games this season.

Ruud van Nistelrooy
Life at the King Power Stadium has not gone well for Ruud van Nistelrooy so far. It had started so well too, with four points from his first two matches in charge of the Foxes. But Leicester have won just two of their 16 games since across all competitions. And one of those came in the FA Cup. In the Premier League, Leicester have lost 13 of their past 14 games. The only exception was a 1-2 away win over Tottenham. But since then, the Foxes have lost six consecutive games, all without scoring. At home, Leicester have now lost seven consecutive league games without scoring, an English men’s top-flight record.
Ange Postecoglou
There’s a chance that Tottenham could end this season with the Europa League. But Ange Postecoglou has warned his players that they cannot focus solely on the competition. It was something that reared its head after Tottenham’s 15th league defeat of the season. That’s over half of their league matches. They’re winless in their past three in the league, losing two. And, perhaps most worryingly, Tottenham have dropped down to 14th. They’re 10 points outside the top half of the table. Potential replacements are already being mentioned.
Ivan Juric
Another relegation-battling managerial change that hasn’t gone to plan. Ivan Juric replaced Russell Martin just before Christmas, with the hopes of turning Southampton’s season around. But, after 12 games in the league, Southampton remain on just nine points. Three of those have come under Juric, with just one win over Ipswich Town. Juric wasn’t even able to get a run going in the FA Cup, winning in the third round only to be knocked out by Championship side Burnley. In the league, Juric’s 0.25 points per game is lower than the 0.31 Martin managed before his sacking.
