How the Premier League sack race is shaping up – Revisited after Erik ten Hag exit… | OneFootball

I must have had a premonition, as the day before this latest round of top tier matches kicked off, I had a look at the Premier League sack race.

How things were looking for the 2024/25 running of this ‘race’…

Last season, it was actually Paul Heckingbottom that ‘won’ the 2023/24 Premier League sack race, sacked and replaced by Chris Wilder on 5 December 2023.

Anyway, ahead of the weekend just ended, nobody sacked/leaving yet from a Premier League club, so how were the bookies seeing it last Thursday (24 October 2024)?

These were the odds generally available from various bookies for the 2024/25 Premier League sack race, who would be the first to leave their PL club, if any…

1/1 Russell Martin

4/1 Erik ten Hag

5/1 Gary O’Neil

8/1 Oliver Glasner

10/1 Julen Lopetegui

33/1 Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche, Steve Cooper

40/1 Ange Postecoglou

50/1 Enzo Maresca, Marco Silva

66/1 Thomas Frank, Nuno, Kieran McKenna

100/1 Arne Slot, Andoni Iraola, Fabian Hurzeler, Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery

250/1 No Premier League manager to leave during this season

As you no doubt know, Erik ten Hag has won that Premier League sack race.

Manchester United announcing today (Monday 28 October) that he had been sacked. With hindsight, easy to think that 4/1 was actually a very good bet ahead of this past weekend, that if Man U were to lose at West Ham, then very likely that they would get rid of Erik ten Hag.

So what about the Premier League sack race now?

Who is going to come second in that race and follow Erik ten Hag out of their job?

These are now (on Monday 28 October) the new odds generally available from various bookies for the 2024/25 Premier League sack race, who will be the second to leave their PL club (sacked or willingly), if any…

5/4 Russell Martin

3/1 Gary O’Neil

4/1 Julen Lopetegui

8/1 Thomas Frank

9/1 Oliver Glasner

12/1 Steve Cooper, Kieran McKenna

16/1 Eddie Howe

33/1 Sean Dyche, Ange Postecoglou
