Andoni Iraola has become the betting favourite to replace Arne Slot as next Liverpool manager.

Who is the favourite to be Liverpool manager for the first game of next season?
Andoni Iraola is now the 4/5 favourite to be Liverpool manager for the first game of next season, having shortened from 7/2 earlier on Thursday. Arne Slot, previously favourite in the market, has drifted to 2/1.
Why have Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool odds shortened?
Iraola’s odds have shortened after a sharp surge in betting support on Thursday, with more than three-quarters of all bets on Oddschecker today backing the Spaniard to be the next Liverpool manager.
The move comes amid continued uncertainty around Arne Slot’s future at Anfield. Slot said last week he had “every reason to believe” he would remain Liverpool manager next season, despite pressure following a disappointing campaign.
Iraola is available this summer, with Bournemouth confirming he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Is Arne Slot still favourite to be Liverpool manager next season?
No. Arne Slot has drifted to 2/1 to be Liverpool manager for the first game of next season, with Andoni Iraola now the 4/5 favourite in that market.
That is the key development from Thursday’s betting move. Earlier in the day, Slot was still favourite for the first-game market, while Iraola was available at 7/2. Iraola is now odds-on, suggesting bookmakers have made him the most likely manager to start next season in charge of Liverpool.
