No more Mourinho? Jose clear favourite in Prem sack race
Published:
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho could be running out of time at Old Trafford, according to our latest odds.
United came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-2 before the international break, but that hasn’t ended doubts over Mourinho’s future.
He’s 11/8 to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this term, well ahead of Southampton’s Mark Hughes at 4/1.
If Mourinho does go, former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane looks likely to replace him. We go 4/7 that the French legend takes over next.
Antonio Conte is second in the betting, though some distance back at 10/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Zidane may be favourite for the United job but with Premier League experience to his name and history of replacing Mourinho, this could be one for Conte.”
