Around two weeks ago Roberto Di Matteo lost his job at West Brom and the bookies are beginning to think he could be the last managerial casualty of the season in the Premiership, although one manager still remains under pressure.
By far the most likely manager to go in the Premiership, if one does leave before the end of the season, is West Ham boss Avram Grant. Despite some decent recent form for the Hammers they remain in the bottom three and are amongst the favourites to go down this season. That leaves Grant an odds on chance to leave West Ham after less than a season in charge, he could really do with a win in his next couple of games.
The odds have shortened dramatically on no more managers leaving this season, after Roberto Di Matteo was sacked from his job at West Brom you could get 6/1 on no more managers leaving their post, those odds are now just 2/1 at the time of writing and that shows that we may have seen out last managerial casualty of the season.
Most other managers are looking pretty safe, even those involved in relegation battles, but there are two managers who are in charge of underperforming clubs and their jobs could certainly be under review at the end of the season, if they are still in charge by the time that comes around. David Moyes has been well backed in recent weeks to lose his job, Everton have been inconsistent all season but he surely won’t be sacked, backers of Moyes may be relying on him walking out, he is around the 5/1 mark.
At around twice those odds you can back Carlo Ancelotti to leave Chelsea, they are now in danger of losing out on a Champions League place and their performance in that competition could be just as important as their performance in the Premiership as Ancelotti looks to save his job. Whatever happens it looks likely he could go in the summer. The likes of Alex McLeish and Mark Hughes aren’t 100% safe according to the odds but it would be a huge shock if either lost their jobs this season.
