The Italian was 5/1 yesterday to become the new Manchester United manager but today has found himself odds-on-favourite at 8/11 to takeover from Solskjaer.
Antonio Conte currently odds-on-favourite to takeover
Odds have been decisively slashed on Antonio Conte being named the next permanent Manchester United manager, following a stream of bets.
The former Chelsea manager was available at 5/1 just yesterday to be named Solskjaer’s successor, but that price has been cut all the way in to 8/11.
In fact, some bookies are offering odds as short as 4/6 that the Italian will be the next permanent gaffer in the dugout at Old Trafford.
Over the last 24 hours, Conte has comfortably been the most backed by punters, amassing a whopping 49% of all bets in that time period.
That means Conte has leapfrogged the previous favourite, Zinedine Zidane, who has since drifted from 3/1 clear favourite out to 10/1 at the time of writing.
