Steven Gerrard, the former Aston Villa manager who was the favorite to be the next Aston Villa head coach until yesterday has seen his odds drop overnight from 6/4 down to 5/1.
Many people were surprised to hear that Darren Moore was no longer the manager of Sheffield Wednesday after their dramatic play-off victory last season.
The Owls under Moore overturned a 4-1 first-leg loss against Peterborough during the semi finals. Barnsley was defeated in the final by a 123rd-minute winner in extratime.
Sheffield Wednesday, who spent the last two seasons in League One will return to the Championship in the coming season. They are now on the lookout for a new coach following Moore’s mutually agreed departure.
Paul Ince took over as Reading manager in 2021-22. Initially, it was a caretaker position. However, last summer, after surviving the relegation and a six-point deduction, Ince became the permanent manager.
The Royals’ move into the third division of English football was the result of Ince’s Royals losing six points.
Former England international, the former Blackburn manager has also managed in the Premier League.

The 48-year old recently left his position as manager of Portuguese club Chaves. With them, he achieved promotion into the top flight in just his first full year and then guided the team to a seventh place finish in their return to the Primeira Liga.
The odds of former Owls manager Carlos Carvalhal, who led the club within a penalty shootout to the Premier League in 2017, have risen from 2/1 up to 12/1.
The Portuguese led the club to two Championship Play-Off Finals in just three years. He also managed Swansea during the second half 2017-2018 season.
The 57 year old was most recently the manager of Celta, a club that was in a relegation fight when he took over. Celta won the title on the last day of the season after beating Barcelona.
Torsten Lieberknecht, the current Darmstadt manager, is also in contention at 12/1.
Lieberknecht, in his second year as club manager, has earned promotion to Bundesliga in Germany with the German team.
