Next Leicester manager odds: Graham Potter is bookies’ favourite to replace Brendan Rodgers
BRENDAN RODGERS is now FAVOURITE to be the next Premier League to be sacked after Leicester’s 4-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
And Brighton boss Graham Potter is Betfair’s 2/1 favourite to become the next manager at the King Power Stadium.
Rodgers apologised to Leicester’s fans after the ’embarrassing’ display as he’s now 9/2 with Betfair to get the chop.
Leicester appear to have lost their momentum this season as they currently sit tenth in the Premier League, after finishing fifth in the previous two campaigns.
But with the Foxes way off their rivals for a top-four finish, it could be time for the Foxes to make a change.
Potter leads the market ahead of former Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre who is priced at 5/1.
Rogders criticised his players and will be hoping he sees a reaction in their next game away to Liverpool in the Premier League.
He said: “A lot of players have to improve. It was an awful performance. I have to apologise to the fans. We needed physicality and authority and lacked it.
“There was a lack of hunger and you get destabilised when you make errors. That’s the first time since I’ve been here that I was embarrassed.”
He added: “Too many players think they are top players but are a long way off. Some players may have achieved everything they can here.
“I watch training every day and for some it’s everything they could dream of, they’ve won the FA Cup – that might be it [for them], but it’s not for me.”
