Andoni Iraola has been cut from 2/1 to 1/2 in the next manager to leave market, giving him an implied 66% chance of winning the sack race.
The 41-year-old Spaniard Andoni Iraola is seemingly working under borrowed time as his Bournemouth side are winless in their first nine league games.
Premier League Sack Race Odds
This morning, Iraola’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave have taken a dramatic turn. Opening this morning at odds of 2/1, he is now the bookmakers’ favourite at odds of 1/2 on Sky Bet to be the first manager sacked this season.
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom had been the odds-on favourite for the past month and a half and now stands as the 6/4 second favourite in the betting (9/4 with William Hill).

Leon Blackman from oddschecker commented: “After losing to the manager he replaced at Bournemouth on the weekend, the pressure is on for Andoni Iraola on the South Coast. Three points and no wins from their opening nine games has left Bournemouth in 19th and seemingly taking a backwards step from last season.
“As we start a new week, bookmakers have made Iraola the new favourite for the next Premier League manager to leave their post. A huge shift in the Spaniard’s odds this morning from 2/1 into the odds-on favourite at 1/2 is a significant change.
“This sentiment is shared by punters, with a whopping 89% of bets on oddschecker this morning backing Iraola to be the first manager sacked this season. If he avoids the sack this week, this Saturday’s home fixture against Burnley becomes a must-win game for him.”
