Next Manchester City Manager

Henrik Kjellberg - 29 Apr 2008

Betfred make Phil Scolari 5/2 favourite to be the next Manchester City manager. With it looking likely that Sven-Goran Eriksson will not be at the helm at the start of next season, the Warrington-based firm make him the clear favourite to take over at Eastlands ahead of Sam Allardyce (7/1), and 9/1 shots Steve McClaren and Roberto Mancini.

Boxer Ricky Hatton, a massive City fan, also gets a 10,000/1 quote to take over his beloved club while former Oasis frontman and Blues fan Noel Gallagher is a 5,000/1 shot.

"All the smart money has been for Scolari, and at this stage he looks the number one choice to take over," said Betfred spokesman Dave Metcalf.

"Shinawatra does not look an easy man to please, and whoever succeeds Sven will be under pressure to deliver from day one. If Ricky did take over he certainly wouldn’t pull any punches!"
