Next Derby County manager odds: Wayne Rooney odds-on favourite for permanent job
Wayne Rooney has been installed as the odds-on favourite to take over as the permanent Derby County manager, priced at 1/2.
Bookmakers have priced up the market following the sacking of Phillip Cocu after a dismal spell at the club, which has seen them go from promotion hopes to relegation candidates.
Derby County currently sit bottom of the Championship table with just one win to their name so far this season. Having finished 10th last season, the club have lost patience with Cocu, who inherited a team that had reached the play-off final under Frank Lampard.
John Terry and Eddie Howe also priced up as contenders
Wayne Rooney is said to be part of the team taking over temporary charge of the side, having joined the club as a player-coach in January.
The 35-year-old now tops the market to take over the permanent job. John Terry is the second favourite at 3/1, while former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is a 10/1 shot.
