Manager Specials Betting & Odds

Manager betting specials add excitement to betting on the biggest football leagues in the world. Whether you wager on a manager to lose his job before Christmas or a head coach to succeed beyond all expectations by winning the Manager of the Year award, we have you covered.  

We explain how to bet on football managers at talkSPORT BET Sportsbook and reveal the various markets and odds available.  

Betting on football managers is a great way to keep things interesting throughout the season. Here are some of the available markets at talkSPORT BET:  

Next Manager to Be Sacked

Many managers leave their posts throughout the Premier League managerial merry-go-round, with clubs taking desperate measures to preserve their EPL status or right the wrongs of a previous regime to push on.   

For instance, during the 2024/25 EPL season, Erik ten Hag (Manchester United), Steve Cooper (Leicester City), Gary O’Neil (Wolves), Russell Martin & Ivan Juric (Southampton), Julen Lopetegui (West Ham United), and Sean Dyche (Everton) all lost their jobs. 

Ange Postecoglou (Tottenham Hotspur) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (Leicester City) were relieved of their duties at the end of the campaign.  

If a Premier League manager is under pressure, you can bet on him to be the next manager to be sacked at talkSPORT BET.   

Next Club or National Team Manager  

Another popular market for anyone looking for manager betting specials is the option to bet on a club’s next manager. This market is available once a head coach has lost his job, with the top contenders available to bet on at talkSPORT BET.   

One of the biggest ongoing manager searches right now is who will be the next permanent France boss, when Didier Deschamps steps down after the 2026 World Cup. Whenever a club or national team parts with its manager, log into your talkSPORT BET account to bet on the next person you think will take the job.   

Manager of the Month/Year  

Rather than betting on a manager losing their job due to poor performance, you can back a head coach to be named the Manager of the Month or Manager of the Year in a specific competition.  

The Manager of the Month is awarded based on a team’s performance throughout the previous month, so if you notice a club has an easy run of fixtures, it could be an excellent way to profit from a team’s successful wins if they deliver maximum points.  

Special Manager Bets  

Occasionally, we publish manager betting specials beyond the next manager to be sacked odds. This can include managers joining a specific league or retiring on their terms, as Roy Hodgson did last year.  

Betting on football managers offers excellent value and lots of fun throughout the season, so check your talkSPORT BET account for the latest football markets to make the most of this betting option.

Here are some insider tips that should help you capitalise on manager betting specials as and when they become available at talkSPORT BET: 

• Research and analysis: As with any football wager, research is key. You need to consider how well a manager has recently performed and whether the team’s performance is aligned with the club’s expectations. You should also consider whether the club has a history of dismissing its managers after short spells in the dugout.  
• Timing your bets: Timing is everything when it comes to betting on football, particularly in relation to manager sackings. Things tend to heat up around Christmas when there’s a lot at stake. Clubs might be stuck in a rut, and changing the manager could spark the team into life in the second half of the season. If you get the timing of your wager right, you can access great value odds.  
• Following media and insider news: Football manager sackings rarely come out of the blue, and the writing is often on the wall. We recommend tailoring your social media feed with posts from club reporters and insider experts for the scoop on a manager’s position as and when it arrives. The earlier you hear about a manager’s precarious position, the more opportunity you have to bet on them being sacked.
