Liverpool next manager odds: who’s favourite to replace Arne Slot? Check out the latest odds, frontrunners and expert predictions.
Liverpool FC and Arne Slot are struggling through a run of poor results, including heavy defeats and uncharacteristic defensive lapses. The Dutch manager is under increasing pressure to keep his job, just seven months on from winning the Premier League in his debut season.
In fact, according to latest odds, Slot is currently 11/4 to be the next manager sacked - second only to Leeds boss Daniel Farke.
PSV thrashed the PL champions 4-1 at Anfield on Wednesday night to mount serious pressure on Slot.
Liverpool lost consecutive games prior to that UCL defeat inflicted by Peter Bosz's men, losing 3-0 to both Man City and Nottingham Forest.
The market for their next permanent manager is wide open, with a former manager leading the betting at the time of publishing.

| Oliver Glasner | 10/1 | bet365 |
| Xabi Alonso | 12/1 | bet365 |

Odds last updated on 10:00, Thursday, 27th November.
Jurgen Klopp (6/1)
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is the leading candidate to return to the Merseyside dugout. The former Liverpool boss is priced shortest thanks to his legendary status at Anfield and his proven trophy record.
Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged a “theoretically possible” return to Liverpool, though currently he feels fulfilled in his Red Bull global football role. Bookies favor him due to emotional pull and instant fan buy-in, despite energy concerns post-2024 exit.
Oliver Glasner (10/1)
Palace boss Oliver Glasner’s stock is rising after transforming the club with an intense, structured pressing style and strong results. His Crystal Palace revolution features a stubborn, zonal-man-marking high press forcing play wide, paired with direct, chaotic attacks via quick balls in-behind to target men like Mateta for cut-backs or overlaps.
Palace's 19-game unbeaten streak and big-chance creation (e.g., seven vs Liverpool) showcase defensive impeccability and rapid transitions, mirroring Liverpool's demands for athleticism and intensity. His Frankfurt Europa League win adds elite pedigree, positioning him as a pragmatic successor for sustained success.
Xabi Alonso (12/1)
A Liverpool icon from his playing days, Alonso is a highly rated tactician whose managerial stock soared at Bayer Leverkusen, where he orchestrated an unbeaten Bundesliga title win and domestic double. He only lost out on the treble after being beaten in the Europa League final by Atalanta.
Now at Real Madrid, recent reports of dressing room unrest and pressure from big players unhappy with his style compared to Carlo Ancelotti's era have fueled speculation of an early exit, positioning him as a natural, long-term Anfield fit amid Liverpool's current struggles.
Andoni Iraola (12/1)
Iraola's Bournemouth thrives on high-risk, man-to-man pressing that packs centrally before swarming wide receivers, fueling rapid counters into packed boxes via athletic output and direct No.9 service.
Iraola's obsession with physical data (e.g., sprint volume, challenge intensity) ensures squad rotation and fitness peaks, addressing Liverpool's injury woes and transition lapses; Bournemouth's 5th-place surge post-25 games proves scalability to elite levels, injecting fresh energy without a full rebuild.
His "rock and roll" mentality demands bravery from defenders and treats every chance as final, aligning with Liverpool's front-foot ethos. However, with Liverpool's average squad age nearing 26.5 years and key stars like Salah (33) and Van Dijk (34) aging, Iraola's intense, high-energy style may face challenges adapting fully.
His methods could require fresh, younger blood to sustain the relentless pressing and transitions, making the transition from Bournemouth’s youthful squad to Liverpool's mix of experience and age a tough but potentially valuable fit.
Simone Inzaghi (16/1)
Inzaghi's 3-5-2 at Inter emphasizes compact defending and fluid attacks, delivering Serie A titles and Champions League finals through wing-back dynamism and tactical adaptability. His European deep-run expertise suits Liverpool's ambitions, with versatile pressing and set-piece prowess offering balance to high-tempo needs.
Tactically, he is known for meticulous preparation, elite in-game management, and strong set-piece structures. However, Inzaghi still profiles as a long-shot candidate for the Liverpool job. His preferred 3-5-2 clashes with Liverpool’s long-standing squad identity, which has been shaped around a 4-3-3/4-4-2 hybrid for nearly a decade.
Transitioning to his system would require significant personnel changes, especially at full-back, centre-back depth, and the attacking line. All of which making the fit less straightforward.
Additionally, he has limited experience outside Italy and has never coached in the Premier League, a factor that often weighs heavily in English clubs’ decisions.

Who is the favourite for next Premier League Manager to be sacked?
| Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Daniel Farke | 4/6 |
| Arne Slot | 3/1 |
| Marco Silva | 17/2 |
| Thomas Frank | 11/1 |
| Scott Parker | 14/1 |
Odds last updated on 10:00, Thursday, 27th November.
Daniel Farke (8/11)
Daniel Farke is the clear frontrunner in the sack race, and at odds of 8/11, bookmakers see him as the most vulnerable manager in the division. Leeds have struggled to show consistency, with defensive fragility and an inability to control matches proving costly.
Arne Slot (5/2)
Arne Slot, still relatively early in his Liverpool tenure, finds himself second favourite at 5/2. Liverpool's form has dipped, particularly away from home, leading to increased scrutiny of Slot’s tactical approach.
84% of bets in the last 24 hours on Oddschecker have backed Arne Slot to be the next manager sacked. Slot's odds have also been slashed from 16/1 to 2/1 in the last five days in the Next PL Manager sacked market.
Marco Silva (17/2)
Marco Silva sits third in the market at 17/2, reflecting a situation that is concerning but not yet at a crisis point. Fulham have been inconsistent, with strong performances followed by surprising drop-offs in intensity.
The loss of key attackers and defensive lapses have left Fulham struggling to climb into the top half of the table.
Thomas Frank (11/1)
Thomas Frank is under pressure at Tottenham due to a run of poor results and a style of play that has left many fans frustrated. Despite starting the season with promise, including a strong UEFA Super Cup showing and a win over Manchester City, Spurs have struggled to maintain consistency.
Recent matches, especially a heavy 4-1 loss to Arsenal, and 5-3 loss to PSG in the Champions League despite taking the lead twice have intensified scrutiny over his tactics. Some view them as overly defensive and uninspiring.
Frank's frequent lineup changes have also been criticized, causing a lack of cohesion. Injuries to key players have not helped his cause either. However, it is still unlikely Frank will lose his job just six months in.
Scott Parker – 14/1
Scott Parker appears next in line at 14/1, and while his position is less precarious than the names above, he still fits the profile of a manager under pressure. Recent performances have lacked spark, with questions arising over tactical rigidity and squad utilisation.
Burnley are teetering on the relegation zone after three straight defeats, including a 0-2 home loss to Chelsea. Parker's poor Premier League track record (lowest points-per-game for 20+ games managed; relegated with Fulham, sacked by Bournemouth post-9-0 Liverpool loss) fuels further doubts about survival.
