Next England Manager Odds

England's form has got the pressure seriously mounting on Gareth Southgate.

Progression in the Nations League is not possible, with the Three Lions drawing once and losing twice from their last three games in the competition. Across the five group fixtures, Gareth's men have managed just one goal from open-play.

Southgate's team selections have come under question, with the tendency to set-up with five defenders and two holding midfielders seriously affecting the side's forward play.

Such negativity has got fans speculating when, not if, Southgate will be dismissed. Given the context, we've had a look into Betfair's next England manager market.

At 4/1, Sean Dyche is the betting favourite to be England's next manager.

The 49-year-old's future at Burnley has been called into question over the past two summers, with their board failing to show any aspiration to progress and elevate further up the table. A lack of spending has seen Dyche have to work wonders with a limited squad, which now looks to be running on fumes.

Despite their current league standing, the Englishman's work in Lancashire has not gone unnoticed. His ability to grind out results with such a depleted group of players has drawn in unanimous praise across the league, with talks of the Arsenal job even creeping up back in 2018.

Dyche would have to fight off his unwanted reputation of 'route one football' though, with the potential situation feeling eerily similar to when Sam Allardyce was granted the position in 2016. Is this a case of the Burnley manager not being a progressive fit, or the fact that he hasn't been given an opportunity to work with such resources before?

Graham Potter has been somewhat a revelation during his short stint at the Amex.

The Englishman led Brighton to their joint-highest PL finish (15th) last season, and there are signs that is side are capable of moving up the table. Despite currently sitting 16th, the Seagulls have adopted a fluid system under Potter, with the likes of Leandro Trossard, Neal Maupay and Tariq Lamptey all growing to become quite distinct names in the division.

The manager has his side playing some expansive stuff, and this sort of progressive coaching has had many fans online linking Potter with the England job.

Betfair have him at 7/1 to be the next in line, making him the second favourite in the market.

Eddie Howe's name has become synonymous with the England job in recent years.

The former Bournemouth manager is continuously linked with the position, and it's no surprise to see him pop up high on the bookies' list. He's 7/1 to be the next England manager, and as a free agent, it could be argued that he his biding his time for such an opening.

Like Potter, Howe doesn't exactly boast experience in having managed a club with the largest pedigree, but many warmed to the style of football he implanted during his time on the South Coast.

It's quite remarkable to think that the Englishman is just 42-years-of-age, as he'd been with the Cherries for 8 years. He does fit the 'profile' of a forward-thinking appointment, and we believe his price is rather generous given the circumstances.

Englishman do dominate this market, with Chris Wilder, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard also popping up.

The former is the shortest priced out of the trio at 11/1, after working miracles with his Sheffield United side last season. This campaign has proven more difficult, and we can't imagine Wilder jumping ship, with the Blades needing his full focus.

Lampard and Gerrard are often spoken in the same sentence, and both men share odds of 12/1. At present though, the duo are certainly in reputable jobs, given their lack of experience. Many are even expecting Lampard to push Chelsea on to challenge for the league, whilst his former England teammate is looking good to capture the Scottish title.

The England position may be in their long-term plans, but both men look too pre-occupied to be thinking of shifting their focus just yet.
