Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou and Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers are among the bookies favourites to replace Graham Potter in the next Brighton manager odds market.
Ange Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou (best price 11/2) arrived at Celtic after Rangers had spoiled the Parkhead club's attempts to win a 10th title in a row in 2020/21. The Aussie helped to turn the tide, beating Rangers to last season's title by four points after 29 wins from 38 matches.
His side have gone to a new level so far this season, winning all six matches having scored 25 goals and conceded just once. However, they were beaten by holders Real Madrid in the Champions League opener on Tuesday night.

Kjetil Knutsen
More of a left-field pick, at least for those based in the UK, would be FK Bodø/Glimt's manager Kjetil Knutsen (best price 6/1). Having joined in January 2018, the Norwegian led the club to successive Eliteserien titles in 2020 and 2021. With nine games to go this season, Bodø/Glimt sit 2nd in the table - 10 points behind Molde.
Brendan Rodgers
Under-fire Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers may be ready to take an escape route from the King Power to high-flying Brighton. The Northern Irishman, Leicester boss since February 2019, is one of the early favourites to replace Chelsea-bound Graham Potter at a best price 13/2.
The 49-year-old, who has won both the FA Cup and the Community Shield during his time in East Midlands, has come under huge pressure after recording just a single draw and five defeats in the first six Premier League fixtures – only Bournemouth, who lost 9-0 at Anfield, have conceded more goals.
Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank (best price 15/2) was one of the outsiders in the early next Chelsea manager odds market, before new owner Todd Boehly identified Potter as his top target for the big spending Blues. In just six matches so far, the Brentford manager has already overseen a 4-0 win over Manchester United and a 5-2 hammering of Leeds this season.
Since taking the Bees up to the big time from the Championship in 2020/21, the 48-year-old has also been praised for his style of front foot football - a hallmark of Potter's time on the south coast.
Nathan Jones
Nathan Jones (best price 9/1) is another interesting candidate in the next Brighton manager odds market, given that he failed to deliver in his biggest managerial assignment so far with Stoke. However, he is rebuilding his reputation in a second stint with Luton, taking the Hatters to the brink of the Premier League last season before falling in the playoffs to Huddersfield.
49-year-old Jones made 159 league appearances for Brighton as a player, while he has already managed the Seagulls during a brief caretaker spell in 2014 (one win and one draw) before the club appointed Potter's predecessor Chris Hughton.
