Some bookmakers have taken down their Next Manager Sacked markets after West Ham’s 3-1 defeat against Leicester last night.
Julen Lopetegui is on the brink of losing his job as West Ham manager after last night’s 3-1 defeat at Leicester kept the Hammers 14th in the Premier League table.
Leaking three more to Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester means only the Foxes and 18th place Wolves have conceded more than the Hammers’ 28 goals.
Up until yesterday, ‘flat-track bullying’ of lesser opponents was keeping West Ham in a better position in the league – they had won four and lost two against teams placed 10th and below vs just a single point from seven matches against the league’s top nine.
The bookmakers have reacted by making Lopetegui the favourite to be sacked next ahead of Southampton’s under pressure Russell Martin.
In fact, eight bookmakers were pricing the market 10 days ago and only Ladbrokes Coral now remain which suggests they might be preparing for Lopetegui’s West Ham exit.
