The managerial merry-go round continues with Real Madrid following Zinedine Zidane's recent departure.
Next Real Madrid manager odds: Who is the favourite to replace Zinedine Zidane?
Massimiliano Allegri has been installed as the massive odds-on favourite to take over at Real Madrid, following a statement from the club last night.
News of Zinedine Zidane’s imminent departure sent Allegri’s price crashing, from 3/1 earlier this month into 1/7 at the time of writing.
That means bookmakers are predicting an 87.5% implied chance that the former Juventus manager is on his way to the Bernabéu.
There’s only two other major challengers, according to the bookies, with club legend Raul second favourite in the betting at 10/3.
Linked with a number of top European teams since announcing his departure, Antonio Conte follows next at 4/1, having shortened from 25/1.
The next group of candidates are all much longer priced in the betting, with Guti (12/1), Fernando Hierro (20/1) and Thomas Tuchel (25/1) all listed next.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: "Max Allegri's (1/7) success at Juventus won't have gone unnoticed by the Real Madrid hierarchy, and his big-club pedigree should stand him in good stead, should the Spanish giants go for him.
"However, after Zidane's success, going down the club legend route once again will be tempting, and few know Real Madrid better than Raul (10/3), who is currently head coach of the youth team.
“The early money has certainly come for Allegri, who has attracted 64% of all bets in the last 12 hours.”
