Next Luton Town Manager Odds

Luton Town are on the search for a new manager following the dismissal of Matt Bloomfield from Kenilworth Road. The Hatters parted ways with the former Wycombe Wanderers manager, following a 2-0 defeat to Stevenage away from home.

Bloomfield has departed Luton Town, with a win percentage of 36.36%, having left the team 11th in the league after a poor start to their league campaign.

We take a look at the latest odds on who will become the next manager at Luton Town.

Here are the listed odds on who will become the next manager of Rangers, provided by talkSPORT BET:

• Luke Williams - 4/1
• Ian Evatt - 5/1
• Richie Wellens - 6/1
• Russell Martin - 8/1

Luke Williams is the early favourite for the vacant position at Luton Town, as the former Notts County manager seeks a return to management after an extended period away from the game. Williams was last spotted working at Bristol Airport, but could the former Swansea City manager land the role at Kenilworth Road?

Luke Williams began his managerial career at Swindon Town, where he achieved a poor win rate of less than 30% during his tenure. Williams then spent a total of seven years away from senior management, opting to follow Russell Martin on his ventures at Swansea City and MK Dons. Williams then joined Notts County, to which, in his first season, he achieved a club record total of 107 points, yet still failed to secure automatic promotion, thanks to Wrexham.

The 44-year-old then joined Swansea City, where his success from Notts County didn't follow, as his tenure was cut short after 13 months in charge of the Jacks.

Luke Williams - 4/1

Ian Evatt enjoyed a distinguished playing career predominantly in the Football League, having also spent one season in the Premier League at Blackpool in 2010/11. The former centre-back started his coaching career in charge of Chesterfield, where he won all three matches as interim manager of the Spireites.

Evatt was then granted an excellent opportunity to take charge of the National League side, Barrow and under his guidance, the Cumbrian side won the National League and won promotion to the Football League for the first time in 48 years.

Evatt's success afforded him an opportunity at the former Premier League side, Bolton Wanderers. The Trotters enjoyed great success under Evatt, as they won promotion in 2021, which was followed up by an EFL Trophy triumph two years later.

Ian Evatt - 5/1

Richie Wellens' Leyton Orient side was only a game away from reaching the Championship last season, as they were beaten in the playoff final by Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic side at Wembley.

Wellens could be an ideal choice for Luton Town fans, given the explicit rejection of Matt Bloomfield's style of play, which is often described as turgid and risk-averse. Citing Sir Alex Ferguson, Richie Wellens likes his teams to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with attacking intent and ball retention on display.

His Leyton Orient side is 18th in the League, but they have lost key players such as Ethan Galbraith and Charlie Kelman.

Richie Wellens - 6/1

An interesting name, newly arrived on the managerial scene, is recently departed Rangers manager, Russell Martin. Martin, at least, has experienced life in the lower divisions of English football with his time at Swansea City and MK Dons.

It's safe to say, though, following his two spells at Southampton, where he was one of the worst-performing managers in Premier League history with one win to his name before he was dismissed for Ivan Juric. Nonetheless, his Rangers spell was doomed from the start and amidst horrendous form which has seen Rangers only win one league game and fan unrest, Martin was dismissed a day before Matt Bloomfield.

Russell Martin: 8/1

Wayne Rooney - 16/1

Wayne Rooney is considered nothing more than an outsider name used to drive speculation and interest. Rooney has spent a considerable time away from management after his dismissal from Plymouth Argyle and is unlikely to get the job.

Gary O'Neil - 20/1

Gary O'Neil is unlikely to be given the Luton Town job, given his wage demands and previous experience at higher established clubs such as Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Our pick to fill the vacant spot at Kenilworth Road is Luke Williams. Given his availability and willingness to return to management, his return to football seems inevitable. Ian Evatt is also in the running, but given the timely dismissal of Steve Bruce at Blackpool, Evatt is bound to return to Bloomfield Road, paving the way for Williams.

Prediction: Luke Williams - 4/1
