Premier League sack race back on as Koeman wins latest leg

The Premier League sack race is back on after Everton confirmed the departure of Ronald Koeman.

Koeman is the third boss to leave a Premier League team this season, as his exit follows in the footsteps of fellow countryman Frank De Boer, who left Crystal Palace last month, and Craig Shakespeare – who was axed by Leicester earlier this month.

West Ham’s Slaven Bilic is now the clear favourite to be the next Premier League boss out the door, and is odds on at 4/5.

“The Bookmakers, as always, react quickly and it is no surprise to see Bilic at the head of the market and a short price at that,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.

“However, Everton could still have a say in this market – at the moment Burnley’s Sean Dyche is amongst the front-runners, and you have to remember that him quitting to take the Goodison Park seat, would mean he is the next man out…something to consider.

“Stoke’s Mark Hughes is another boss under-fire – when Shakespeare left Leicester he was third or fourth in the betting, nowhere near being favourite.”
