Next England Manager Betting

Following the announcement that Sven Goran Eriksson will step down as England Manager after the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany , bookmakers have opened a market on who will replace his as the next permanent England Manager.

Current favourite is Bolton manager Sam Allardyce, 9/2 best price with Betfred. “Big Sam” has guided Bolton to a UEFA Cup spot in and to a top 5 league position in the Premier League. Allardyce is commended for getting the best out of players, but does he have the necessary experience of working with “big players” for a “big club”?

Although the FA originally planned for Sven’s replacement to be a homegrown Englishman, Guus Hiddink, manager of Australia and PSV, is heavily fancied as a possible successor at best price 6/1 with Stan James. The Dutchman has attracted a number of large bets already after throwing his hat into the ring.

Other manager’s in contention for the position include Steve McClaren, Alan Curbishley, Stuart Pearce, and former Celtic boss Martin O’Neill.

The Latest best price odds for the next England Manager are:

Sam Allardyce 9/2 Betfred
Guus Hiddink 6/1 Stan James
Alan Curbishley 13/2 Stan James
Steve McClaren 8/1 Bet 365
Martin O’Neill 9/1 Bet 365
Luis Scolari 14/1 Betfred
Peter Taylor 33/1 Coral
Paul Jewell 40/1 Sporting Odds
Alex Ferguson 66/1 Ladbrokes
