In the event that Roy Hodgson leaves Selhurst Park, who will take the reins?
Roy Hodgson is expected to be the next managerial casualty in the Premier League and as such, now is an excellent time to register with any of our featured UK and Irish betting sites and claim some exclusive Crystal Palace free bets and other excellent Premier League promotions.
If the betting markets are to be believed, Roy Hodgson will become the next managerial casualty in the top-flight and if this prediction is proven to be correct, who would take charge in the Selhurst Park hot-seat?
As we fast approach the business end of the 2023/24 Premier League season, Roy Hodgson is expected to be the next top-flight managerial departure with most bookies going 1/3 that this proves to be the case (an implied 75% chance). So far this term, Steve Cooper (Nottingham Forest), Julen Lopetegui (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and Paul Heckingbottom (Sheffield United) have left their managerial positions and there is every chance that Hodgson could follow them.
Should this prove to be the case, then Kieran McKenna is priced as favourite to succeed him at Crystal Palace, the 37-year-old best odds of 5/6 to swap Portman Road for Selhurst Park. The Eagles board have apparently been attempting to persuade the Ipswich boss to up sticks and leave the double promotion-chasing Tractor Boys in order to move to the Premier League strugglers. Thus far, Palace have been frustrated in their attempts but the club are hopeful that he will be in charge at the close of the current campaign.
Steve Cooper is another name in the frame to be named as next Crystal Palace manager at a best price of 4/1 while Oliver Glasner and Graham Potter complete the top four in the betting at best odds of 6/1 and 8/1 respectively.
5/6 – Kieran McKenna
4/1 – Steve Cooper
6/1 – Oliver Glasner
8/1 – Graham Potter
10/1 – Scott Parker
20/1 – Frank Lampard
20/1 – Julen Lopetegui
25/1 – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
