In recent developments reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has officially terminated Mauricio Pochettino’s contract after the team’s loss to Wolverhampton. The dismissal comes amid Chelsea’s disappointment and a lack of future prospects seen for Pochettino.
Following a defeat by West Ham, Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is now the frontrunner to be the next Premier League manager to resign. The Red Devils’ inconsistent season and eighth-place standing have intensified speculation about Ten Hag’s tenure, despite billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment.
Ten Hag’s odds of being fired by Betfair have increased after a dismal Champions League campaign, where Manchester United finished at the bottom of their group. Vincent Kompany of Burnley is at 11/1, struggling to adapt to the Premier League after winning the Championship last year. Crystal Palace’s Roy Hodgson is the second favorite at 5/1.
Mauricio Pochettino, now with Chelsea, faces criticism due to the team’s patchy results. With a challenging task ahead, Pochettino aims to lead the Blues out of their worst Premier League season in thirty years. Despite victories over rivals Tottenham and Newcastle United, Pochettino’s value fluctuates, presently at 12/1.
Other managers in the mix include Eddie Howe and Nuno Espirito Santo at 16/1, David Moyes of West Ham at 14/1, Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder at 20/1, and Luton Town’s Rob Edwards at 33/1, who has a history of departing teams mid-season. Paul Heckingbottom’s recent firing led to Chris Wilder taking over at Sheffield United.
