Here is a look at who the bookies are tipping to be next Leeds United manager
Leeds United have confirmed the departure of manager Thomas Christiansen.
Christiansen has been fired following a terrible month of results – Leeds are still looking for their first win in 2018.
The bookies have already opened a market on Christiansen’s potential successor, with Steve McClaren and Simon Grayson the early favourites.
Here is a look at the current favourites, according to SkyBet.
Odds accurate at time of writing and subject to change.
Steve McClaren 5/6
Simon Grayson 7/2
Paul Heckingbottom 6/1
Marco Silva 9/1
Gordon Strachan 9/1
Former England boss Steve McClaren would not be a popular appointment after a poor recent track record in English football.
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani is under pressure to get it right after his hand-picked choice, Thomas Christiansen, has not worked out.
Radrizzani spent several weeks deliberating his choice in the summer but does not have the same luxury of time on this occasion with the season in full flow.
