Next Bournemouth Manager Odds

AFC Bournemouth are on the lookout for a new manager having sacked Scott Parker in the aftermath of their humiliating 9-0 defeat to Liverpool at the weekend.

The 41-year-old managed to earn the Cherries promotion from the Championship via a second-place finish in his only full season as manager of the club, before losing three of his first four Premier League games this campaign.

Parker’s record as manager of Bournemouth stands at 28 wins and 14 draws from 55 matches, finishing on a win percentage of 51%.

Former Burnley manager Sean Dyche is the early bookmakers’ favourite to become Bournemouth’s next manager following the sacking of Parker.

In his nine years at Turf Moor, Dyche built himself a reputation for being able to manage low-budget sides to success, having earned promotion from the Championship with the Clarets in 2013/14 and 2015/16.

During his time at Burnley, Dyche even lead the club to the Europa League qualifying stages following a seventh-place finish in the 2017/18 campaign.

Due to his Premier League experience, the 51-year-old would arguably be the most suited candidate to this job, especially when considering that he would likely have an even bigger budget than that supplied to him at Turf Moor.

Dyche is priced at 6/4 to become Bournemouth’s next manager - click on the link to claim this bet in your bet slip!

Former Middlesbrough and Portsmouth midfielder Gary O'Neil has emerged as a surprise candidate to become Bournemouth's next manager after Parker.

The 39-year-old is currently caretaker manager of the Cherries and has managed to earn four points from his first two games in charge, having drawn 0-0 with Wolves and earned a superb 3-2 victory away at Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Could O'Neil be the man to take Bournemouth forward following these excellent results? He is priced at 2/1 to get the job.

Bode/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen is also on this list of managers who has been linked to the vacancy at Bournemouth.

Knutsen’s side have made the headlines in the past 12 months or so, as they beat AS Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference league, before defeating the Serie A outfit 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico. The 53-year-old has won Eliteserien manager of the year in each of the last three seasons and lead his side to a league title in 2020 and 2021.

The Norwegian is priced at 10/1 to be appointed as Bournemouth manager.

Chris Wilder is also on this list, despite only taking the reins at Middlesbrough last November.

The 54-year-old famously took Sheffield United to the Premier League via finishing as runner-up in the Championship during the 2018/19 season, this was after winning League One with the Blades in 2016/17.

Perhaps Wilder could be a good fit, as he is known for playing attractive expansive football when his sides are in possession of the ball, whilst liking defensive solidity. As another overachieving manager, maybe he could see himself at the helm at the Vitality Stadium, especially with his Boro side loitering in 18th place.

Wilder is priced at 16/1 to leave Middlesbrough for Bournemouth.

Former Bournemouth Interim Manager Jonathan Woodgate also features on this list of potential candidates.

The ex-Real Madrid defender was actually replaced by Parker as manager of the Cherries after managing 23 games, winning 13 and drawing twice, leading them to a sixth-place finish in 2020/21. However, in that campaign, they were beaten play-off semi-finalists. Prior to this, the 42-year-old had also been Senior First Team Coach at Bournemouth.

Woodgate, who won Championship Manager of the Month in April 2021 is priced at 16/1 to make a return to Bournemouth.

Thierry Henry has emerged as a potential candidate for the managerial vacancy at the Vitality Stadium.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker is currently Belgium’s assistant manager and has had previous managerial experience with the likes of Montreal Impact in the MLS where he oversaw his side win nine of 29 matches in charge.

Henry’s other managerial role was even less successful than that of Montreal, having won just four of 20 matches as manager of former club AS Monaco between October 2018 and January 2019.

Bournemouth are priced at 25/1 to appoint Henry as manager.
