Next Championship Manager To Be Sacked Odds 2024/25 – The Sack Race

With so many departures across the second tier season upon season, composing a list of the next Championship Manager to be sacked is an arduous task. Not one bookmaker is offering odds for the next Championship manager to be sacked. That’s where we step in. Suppose there transpires to be a bookmaker braver enough to tackle the next Championship manager to be sacked odds. In that case, this article may provide a handy insight into whether any value can be plucked from the betting.

In Preston, Ryan Lowe vacated his post after just 90 minutes of football in a second-tier season very much in its infancy. Ninety minutes (or five days) later, caretaker coach Mike Marsh also left Preston North End following a pitiful 3-0 showing against Swansea. You couldn’t write it. Paul Heckingbottom was the man to replace Ryan Lowe for the foreseeable – sacked by The Blades in December 2023 (Merry Christmas) – highlighting the managerial rollercoaster we all can’t help but gawk at.

This is the Championship in all its glory – upsets, drubbings, dugout drama, and sackings left, right and centre. 

Next Championship Manager to be sacked odds: Updated 28th February

The next Championship manager to be sacked odds were provided by bettingexpert on Wednesday, February 28th, 08:00. The ‘Next Championship Manager To Be Sacked’ landscape may now differ.

Who is the next Championship Manager to be Sacked? This season’s sacking stats:

As we head into February, ignoring interim head coaches, 14 Championship managers have left their post. Only John Eustace, Neil Harris and Carlos Corberan vacated on their own accord. Bulut bowed out, Des Buckingham didn’t have the Desired effect in Oxford, the Swans and Rams moved away from Williams and Warne, and Ryan Lowe’s Lancashire lows dropped to the floor.

Elsewhere, it was never going to be plain sailing down on the south coast for Wayne Rooney . The choppy waters brought the axe down on the former-Plymouth Argyle gaffer quicker than maybe some expected. Rooney lasted just 220 days in charge of Argyle, leaving them in a fight for survival.

And to many’s surprise, Tom Cleverley remains in the Watford dugout. And that’s not surprise linked to his side’s underperformance. It’s a general shock over the trigger finger from above remaining level-headed and still – for now.

The not-so-frequent trigger finger at Coventry did budge this season. Mark Robins, who oversaw 2803 days at the club and two promotions from League 2 to the second tier, was relieved of his duties in November and replaced with Frank Lampard. Robins exited the club as the longest-serving manager in the Championship and third-longest servant in the top four divisions of English football.

Life in the Premier League must feel a distant memory to those at Luton Town. Rob Edwards’ slide down the division was compounded with his sacking in January, with Wycombe’s (former) main man, Matt Bloomfield, drafted in as his successor. The Hatters’ lowly position (23rd) and underlying performances in the Championship standings gave the powers-that-be little to no choice to move on.

Stoke, of course, have been involved in the managerial merry-go-round in 2024/25. From Narcis Pelach (100 days in charge), to Steven Schumacher (272 days), before settling on an out-of-work Mark Robins (pictured above in Coventry colours) to instil a sense of stability, Stoke have been at it again.

Last Season’s Manager Sackings in the Championship in 2023/24

The second tier witnessed 21 casualties (excluding interim managers under 30 days in charge) in 2023/24, one fewer than the previous season in a campaign that felt packed with managerial turnover. Is it just us, or did there seem to be some movement every fortnight? Well, given the season is ten months long, from August to May, that’s at least two managers a month. Bonkers.

Gary Rowett (1456 days), Nigel Pearson (977), Steven Schumacher (742), and Jon Dahl Tomasson (588) vacated their clubs after the most lengthy spells. Schumacher was the only manager of the quartet to be tempted by a more lucrative offer elsewhere, whilst the remaining three saw the chopping block.

Removing interim and caretaker managers from the equation, Mick Beale oversaw the shortest stint in charge. At just 63 days, Sunderland were quick to replace.

“You’re getting sacked in the morning”

Despite an adverse reaction from some fans to his appointment, Beale expressed an understanding of the fans’ concerns and emphasised his commitment to the role, citing his overall managerial win percentage as a reason for optimism. The three losses on the bounce to begin his spell, including Newcastle in the FA Cup, didn’t do him any favours.

When the fans wipe their hands of you, you’re in trouble. ‘Beale Out’ and ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ – from your own fans against Hull – painted a rather grim landscape.

Sunderland is a club that has given managers a chance in the past – think Parkinson and Grayson in recent memory. Yet, with the results, performances, and general inadvertent rubbing up of the fanbase the wrong way any time he opened his mouth – the ‘chance’ afforded to Beale turned out to be the slimmest of the lot – just 12 matches.

Andre Breitenreiter (81), Wayne Rooney (83), Ian Foster (87) and Xisco Munoz (92) at Sheffield Wednesday complete the five managers, along with Beale, who couldn’t quite muster 100 days in a Championship hot seat last campaign.

The 2022/23 Championship Manager Sackings: Record-Keeping in the dugout

There were 22 managerial casualties (excluding interim managers under 21 days in charge) in the 2022/23 Championship season. For one reason or another, owners, fans, managers, and players alike thought they’d be better off siding with the potential of greener grass elsewhere.

Twenty-Two. That’s mind-boggling in a league with 46 games and just 24 clubs. The 2022/23 season ended with an average of 0.92 sackings per club if split evenly.

However, it must be mentioned that Watford, QPR, Huddersfield, and Wigan opted to change their man in charge on multiple occasions.

Ignoring the somewhat lengthy interim spell of Andy Dawson (33 days) in Hull following Shota Arveladze’s departure, it was former Liverpool and Arsenal central defender Kolo Toure who endured the shortest spell of any Championship manager last term. The Ivorian spent 58 days in charge of the Latics, whilst Huddersfield’s Danny Schofield (69), QPR’s Neil Critchley (69) and Mick McCarthy (79) in Blackpool were out of the door before the paint had dried in their new office.
