Wolves are on the lookout for a new manager after the club finally pulled the plug and sacked Vitor Pereira. Betting sites have revealed the favourites to replace the Portuguese manager, and it looked like it was going to be ex-Wolves boss Gary O’Neil. Overnight, he has turned down the job, and this has left the managerial race wide open, with Erik ten Hag leading the betting.
Next Wolves manager betting odds
Gary O’Neil was Wolves manager last season, but was sacked after a poor start to the campaign and replaced by Pereira. He was the clear favourite and in advanced talks, but has since rejected the job, possibly due to the outrage from the fan base when reports were circling about the former midfielder being in advanced talks with Wolves.
Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is the favourite, whilst Rob Edwards is in the running.

Who are the favourites to be the next Wolves manager?
O’Neil rejecting the job has seen former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag become the favourite. His odds are 5/2 and he would be an interesting appointment. He did well with Manchester United at the start of his career at Old Trafford and even won them an FA Cup, but performances started to drop, and he was eventually sacked. His next job was at Bayer Leverkusen, but he was sacked after just two league matches. The Dutchman has definitely shown top qualities when managing Ajax and during part of his time in the Premier League, but there are huge question marks as to whether he is ready for a relegation battle.
Rob Edwards is also in the running according to UK betting sites. It would be a little surprising to see Edwards leave his current job at Middlesbrough as he currently has them second in the Championship, but he may jump at the idea of being back in the Premier League again. Edwards managed to get Luton promoted to the Premier League, which was a huge achievement, but they were relegated in their first season in the top flight. Despite this, he produced some strong performances with the Hatters and may do better with a stronger squad. Edwards odds were 5/1 yesterday, but have shortened overnight and he is now 3/1 to take the Wolves job.
A possible unknown is Rui Borges, who is currently the fourth favourite. His odds were 4/1, but they are now 12/1. The Portuguese boss is currently the manager of Sporting CP, where he has managed 45 matches, winning 30, drawing nine and losing just six, so clearly has some good qualities, but he has never managed in the Premier League and has only ever managed in Portugal, so his inexperience would see him be another risky appointment.
