Premier League Next Manager Sacked Betting Odds 2026/27
The Premier League's managerial merry-go-round rarely stays still for long, and the next manager sacked market is one of the most-watched at UK betting sites throughout the season.
The division has averaged close to ten permanent departures a season in recent years - 2025/26 alone saw six managers sacked, with Nottingham Forest alone getting through three permanent head coaches in a single campaign.
Nine of the 20 Premier League clubs start 2026/27 with a new permanent boss in the dugout, several of them under scrutiny before a ball's even been kicked.
Here at Free Bets, we'll update this page through the season with the latest odds and the managers facing the most pressure.

Gameweek Three: Arbeloa Booed Off as Fulham Slip to the Bottom
Alvaro Arbeloa's position now looks the shakiest in the division.
Fulham led twice at Craven Cottage through Josh King and Cesar Palacios, but a Tyrick Mitchell double and a stoppage-bound Ben Chilwell winner turned it into a 2-3 defeat, Fulham's third straight loss to open the season.
Some of the home crowd booed their side off, and the Cottagers sit pointless at the bottom of the table.
That result actually eased the pressure on the opposite dugout.
Pierre Sage picked up his first win since taking over at Crystal Palace, having also lost his first two games in charge - his price should lengthen from here rather than shorten further.
Roberto De Zerbi finally got Tottenham off the mark with a point, drawing 0-0 away at Nottingham Forest, though Spurs are still waiting for their first goal of the season three games in.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa also picked up a first point, 0-0 at Hull, but still haven't scored either - they're out of the bottom three only on goal difference.
Frank Lampard's Coventry lost narrowly away at Manchester City, 1-0, but were competitive throughout and remain winless.
Premier League Managerial Changes: 2025/26 in Review
Nottingham Forest - Three permanent head coaches in one season
Forest sacked Nuno Espirito Santo in September 2025, replaced him with Ange Postecoglou (sacked after 39 days in October), then went with Sean Dyche - who was himself dismissed in February 2026.
Thomas Frank - Tottenham (sacked February 2026)
Frank departed Tottenham less than eight months into the job, with the club 16th in the table at the time.
Rob Edwards - Wolves (sacked June 2026)
Edwards was dismissed immediately after Wolves' relegation was confirmed, having lost 16 of his 30 matches in charge.
Scott Parker - Burnley (mutual consent, April 2026)
Parker left by mutual agreement after Burnley's relegation was confirmed, rather than being formally sacked.
