Chris Davies is the bookmakers' favourite in the next Swansea manager odds market after the departure of Michael Duff.
Michael Duff has been sacked by Swansea after less than six months and just 19 league matches in charge of the Championship club.
Duff started with a winless run of seven before briefly turning the tide with four straight wins, taking the Swans into the top half of the Championship table.
However, he has been shown the door after a run of one win in eight matches, leaving them 18th and just five points above the league's bottom three.

Chris Davies is the 6/4 favourite to replace Michael Duff at Swansea on BetVictor (implied 40% chance). The 38-year-old who worked with Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool for more than three years, including the Reds' 2013/14 title tussle with Manchester City.

Second in the next Swansea manager odds market is Nathan Jones, who can be backed at 7/4 on Sky Bet. Jones has been out of work since recording just one league win in eight matches at Southampton, where he became the shortest serving non-caretaker manager in the club's history.
He is, however, held in higher esteem at Championship level. He was the league's manager of the season in 2021/22, taking Luton to the playoff semi-finals where they were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Huddersfield. Jones has managed the Hatters in more than 300 matches across two spells.
John Eustace is another name among the favourites (4/1) in the latest next Swansea manager odds despite only leaving Birmingham less than two months ago. He was replaced by Wayne Rooney at St Andrew's despite sitting in the Championship Top 6.
The 44-year-old spent the largest part of his managerial career with Kidderminster, winning more than 50% of his matches in two years. He enjoyed a brief spell as caretaker manager of QPR in 2019, helping the club avoid relegation from the Championship after taking seven points from seven games.
Rounding out the list of candidates at 10/1 or shorter on BetVictor is Luke Williams (7/1), who has been the manager of Notts County since July 2022. He helped the Magpies back to League Two via the Playoffs in his first season in charge, while they sit five points inside the League Two Top 6 after the first 20 matches of this season.
