Next Stoke City Manager Odds

Stoke City are on the lookout for a new manager following the dismissal of Michael O’Neill following their 1-0 loss to Sunderland last weekend - seeing them win just one of their opening five league matches.

The former Northern Ireland manager leaves the Bet365 stadium with a record of 55 wins and 35 draws in 143 matches since November 2019, with the Potters’ highest league finish being back-to-back 14th place finishes in each of the last two campaigns.

Joey Barton has been linked with the recent managerial vacancy at Stoke City following the sacking of O’Neill.

The former Newcastle United midfielder currently manages Bristol Rovers who he famously managed to earn promotion with from League Two last season via a stunning 7-0 victory over Scunthorpe United on the final day of the season - seeing them finish third on goal scored ahead of Northampton Town.

Before this, Barton had been in charge of Fleetwood Town who he lead to the League One play-offs for the first time in the club’s history during the 2019/20 season and was harshly sacked by the club the following season having been 10th in January.

Sean Dyche would be an appealing name for any side that is looking to earn promotion to the Premier League, as the 50-year-old is without a job having been sacked by Burnley last season.

The former Watford manager is a club legend at Turf Moor, having overseen 425 matches in the dugout in just under 10 years, earning the Clarets promotion to the Premier League via automatic promotion from the Championship in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons.

At present, Dyche is arguably the best British manager without a job at present and has been known to provide stability whilst being able to work on tight budgets.

Stoke are priced at 7/2 to appoint Dyche as their next manager.

Coventry City manager Mark Robins also features on this list having shown his managerial credentials down the years with the Sky Blues.

The 51-year-old has done an incredible job at his current side Coventry, as he has overseen the Sky Blues through promotions from League Two and League One, whilst winning an EFL Trophy.

Prior to his incredible achievements, Robins has also had an array of experience with struggling sides such as Rotherham United, Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Scunthorpe United.

Robins is priced at 10/1 to trade Coventry for Stoke.

Manchester United legend Michael Carrick comes in at 18/1 to become Stoke’s next manager following his departure from Old Trafford last season following a Caretaker Manager spell.

The 41-year-old showed his potential during his three games in charge of United last season, as he oversaw a 1-1 draw away at Chelsea, as well as impressive 2-0 and 3-2 victories over Villarreal and Arsenal prior to leaving.

As shown by former colleagues' progress at Salford City and Ipswich Town who are led by former Red Devils coaches, Neil Wood and Kieran McKenna, United have clearly had some very talented potential managers on their books. After all, Carrick was initially appointed as a coach by Jose Mourinho.

Carrick is priced at 18/1 to take over the reins at Stoke.

Current caretaker manager Dean Holden is priced at 20/1 to step up and take the managerial role itself following O’Neill’s departure.

The 42-year-old has been at the club since 2021 following his sacking as manager of Bristol City where he won 18 of his 41 matches in charge. His other previous experience in the dugout came at Oldham Athletic in 2015 where he oversaw just three wins in 15 games.

Holden is priced at 20/1 to step up as manager on a permanent basis.
