West Bromwich Albion parted ways with manager Alan Pardew on Monday.
West Bromwich Albion are hunting for a third manager of the season after parting ways with Alan Pardew on Monday afternoon.
The Baggies lost 2-1 at home to Burnley on Saturday afternoon to make it 10 Premier League games without a victory, with relegation looking more and more likely.
West Brom sit bottom of the Premier League table, 10 points adrift of safety and set for the Championship having won just three times in 32 games this season.
Under Pardew, West Brom have won just three times in all competitions, and the 56-year-old leaves with a win rate of less than 15% after a nightmare spell at The Hawthorns.
Pardew as only appointed as Tony Pulis’ replacement back in November, but West Brom are now hunting for his replacement already – and bookmakers have been pricing up odds, as compiled by Oddschecker.
Surprisingly, Mick McCarthy remains the favourite for the job, and is now at 11/5 to replace Pardew having been 5/2 on Tuesday, meaning he remains in contention for the job despite his strong ties to West Brom’s bitter rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The second favourite in the job is Leicester City assistant manager Michael Appleton, with odds ranging from 5/1 to as short as 7/4, as the 42-year-old is close behind McCarthy. A former West Brom midfielder and coach, Appleton could be a popular appointment at The Hawthorns.
Others managers in the running are Sheffield United’s Chris Wilder at 5/1, Derek McInnes at 5/1, Craig Shakespeare at 5/1 and even Ostersund boss Graham Potter at 10/1, with the Baggies no doubt taking their time to find Pardew’s replacement whilst Darren Moore takes temporary charge.
