The Sheffield United manager could get another one over the former Sheffield Wednesday boss.
Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder is now as short as 4/1 with one bookmaker to succeed the former Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal at Swansea City.
Carvalhal’s future is uncertain after he failed to keep Swansea in the Premier League – picking up three points from his last nine games in charge of the Welsh side.
And Wilder would be a logical target should Swansea opt to make a change, having led Sheffield United to tenth in their first season back in the Championship – belying pre-season expectations.
Already high in the West Brom and Sunderland betting, Wilder emerged at 8/1 for the Swans job over the weekend – just days after Sky Bet opened the market.
And the 50-year-old has seen his odds halved since then, although he is still only third favourite to succeed Carvalhal – behind Chris Coleman (2/1) and Graham Potter (7/2) and above Michael Laudrup (6/1).
Wilder has already gotten one over Carvalhal this season, leading his Sheffield United side to a 4-2 win against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough last September.
The Portuguese left Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent on Christmas Eve, rocking up at Swansea just four days later.
