Leeds United made it back to the Premier League at the second time of asking under Daniel Farke last season, and they made a bright start to this campaign. However, with just one win from their last five games, they are hovering close to the drop zone.

As a result, top betting sites have opened a betting market on who might replace the German manager if he is sent packing. He is the current favourite on the Premier League Sack Race market too.

Football betting sites have Brendan Rodgers as the early favourite for the position, having had plenty of years' experience of managing in the Premier League with Swansea, Liverpool and Leicester. His most recent spell was with Celtic, which ended earlier this season.

Another manager who was managing elsewhere earlier this season, Ange Postecoglou, is also prominent in the betting, while further names to look out for at new betting sites include Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and Edin Terzic.

Could Rodgers Return to England With Leeds?

Brendan Rodgers cut his teeth in the Championship with Watford and Reading before taking over at Swansea and getting them promoted in 2011. Since then, the Northern Irishman has exclusively managed in top divisions, excelling with Swansea and Celtic, and at times with Liverpool and Leicester.

Whether he would consider a relegation battle is up for debate, but there's no doubt he has the credentials required to make a good fist of being Leeds manager should they part ways with Farke. Odds at most Apple Pay betting sites suggest he's a name to watch out for.

O'Neil Available Amid Links With Other Jobs

Gary O'Neil was a big hit at AFC Bournemouth during the 2022/23 Premier League season, and it was anticipated that he would be the man to take the Cherries forward. However, the Englishman was replaced by Andoni Iraola, and O'Neil then moved onto Wolves.

He gained a lot of credit in the bank in his first season, steering them comfortably away from the relegation zone, but a horror start to the campaign last season saw him replaced by Vitor Pereira in December. Despite only being a young manager, O'Neil has shown a penchant for keeping teams in the Premier League and is rightly considered a candidate at most fast withdrawal betting sites.

Ange Postecoglou Could Be on Leeds Shortlist

Ange Postecoglou enjoyed a great first season in charge of Spurs, promoting a brand of football supporters could get behind. Things turned somewhat sour last season as Tottenham finished 17th, having lost 22 of their 38 league games, but he did lead them to a major trophy in the form of the Europa League.

That wasn't enough to save him, though. He then replaced Nuno Espirito Santo earlier this season at Nottingham Forest, however he went winless in his eight games and was sent marching by the famously impatient Evangelos Marinakis. Postecoglou's track record or high-octane football and winning trophies elsewhere could be attractive. It's worth keeping an eye on his odds at most Trustly betting sites.

Steven Gerrard Among Leading Names in Betting

Steven Gerrard has been out of work since he left Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq. The 45-year-old made an unbelievably good start to his managerial career, winning the Scottish Premiership with Rangers and finishing the season unbeaten.

He then moved on to Aston Villa, with seemingly any job possible thereafter. However, he struggled to replicate that form at Villa Park and attempted a reputation rebuild in the sunny surrounds of Saudi Arabia. He was linked with a return to Rangers earlier this season but ultimately turned down the opportunity. He is a name to watch at top betting apps moving forward.
