In an intriguing development, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has emerged as the most popular bet among customers for the next England manager, according to the latest data from bet365. This surge in interest comes amidst growing speculation about who will succeed Gareth Southgate.
Steve Freeth of bet365 remarked, “The interest over the last 24 hours has been incredible, with everyone seemingly having an opinion about who should replace Gareth Southgate. What is clear is that it doesn’t need to be an Englishman, with Jurgen Klopp the best backed over the last 24 hours, and it doesn’t necessarily need to be a man as we’ve taken more bets on Sarina Wiegman than Pep Guardiola.”
Currently, Newcastle United's Eddie Howe is the favorite to be the next England manager at odds of 9/4. Following closely is former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter, who stands at 5/2. Klopp, who has seen a significant shift in his odds, is now at 8/1.
Other notable contenders include Mauricio Pochettino at 10/1, Frank Lampard at 12/1, and Thomas Tuchel at 16/1, all reflecting double-figure prices.
In terms of the most popular bets, Jurgen Klopp leads with 16.01% of the bets placed. Graham Potter and Eddie Howe follow with 12.92% and 11.39%, respectively. Notably, Sarina Wiegman, the current manager of the England women's national team, has garnered more bets than renowned managers like Pep Guardiola, indicating a shift in perspectives regarding potential candidates.
These statistics reflect bets placed by bet365 customers up to 10am on Wednesday, 17th July 2024. It is important to note that all odds are subject to change.
