Next Stoke City Manager Odds: Pelach Favourite To Replace Schumacher
Stoke are looking for a new manager following the dismissal of Steven Schumacher.
The Potters parted ways with their manager after picking up six points from their opening five games.
Stoke's sporting director Jon Walters said the decision to sack Schumacher was made to "serve the long-term interests of the club".
Former Crewe manager Alex Morris will take charge of the club's next game which is against Fleetwood in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night, alongside former Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross.
Morris and Shawcross are expected in be in charge for Hull City's visit to the Bet365 Stadium in the Championship on Friday night.
The best betting sites will continue to monitor their next Stoke manager market, which has Narcis Pelach at the top.
Pelach Likely To Land Potters Job
Narcis Pelach is the 1/10 favourite to replace Schumacher in the dugout at the Bet365 Stadium.
Pelach might not be a household name just yet, but his reputation has grown during his time as first-team coach at Norwich.
The Canaries have granted Stoke permission to talk to Pelach about taking over from Schumacher and the 36-year-old, who has worked with Huddersfield in recent seasons, could be in charge for Friday night's league game against Hull.
Rowett Might Be Ready For Stoke Return
Gary Rowett has started the new season as a pundit for Sky Sports and he will be back in football management sooner rather than later.
Rowett knows Stoke very well, having managed the Potters to start the 2018/19 campaign. However, his tenure came to an end in January 2019, after winning nine of his 29 matches in charge.
Stoke may well be tempted to give Rowett (6/4) another go at running the club.
Manager | Odds | Probability |
Narcis Pelach | 1/10 | 90.9% |
Gary Rowett | 6/4 | 40% |
Frank Lampard | 7/4 | 36.4% |
Rob Page | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Brian Barry-Murphy | 3/1 | 25% |
Chris Hughton | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Quique Sanchez Flores | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Alex Morris | 13/2 | 13.3% |
Ryan Lowe | 13/2 | 13.3% |
David Moyes | 9/1 | 10% |
Alex Neil | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Tony Mowbray | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Lampard Is Available
Frank Lampard has shown in the past that he is prepared to manage in the Championship having started his managerial career with Derby.
The former England and Chelsea midfielder guided the Rams to the final of the Championship play-offs, where they lost to Aston Villa.
Spells at Chelsea (twice) and Everton have not been resounding successes, suggesting that perhaps the Championship is his level, and he is 7/4 with football betting sites.
Page Waiting For Next Chapter
It's been a few months now since Rob Page was released from his duties as Wales manager, following their failure to qualify for Euro 2024 in Germany.
With vital experience of managing at the World Cup, Page will be a manager in demand and it might be that he is waiting for the opportunity he feels is right for him.
Page is 5/2 on betting apps to be named as Stoke's next manager.
Barry-Murphy Could Answer Stoke's Call
Brian Barry-Murphy has found his name on the list of several managerial vacancies in recent months and the time might be right for the Irishman to take one of those opportunities.
The 46-year-old is best known for his time at Bury, where he made 218 appearances as a defensive midfielder.
Barry-Murphy (3/1) had a winning percentage of 31.2% when he managed Rochdale for 109 games from March 2019 until he announced his resignation in July 2021.
Hughton Primed For Club Return
Chris Hughton is a manager with a wealth of experience in domestic and international football.
Most recently, Hughton was in charge of Ghana for their Africa Cup of Nations campaign, but was sacked after they failed to get out of the group stage.
Hughton, who has had spells as manager at Tottenham, Newcastle and Brighton, is 5/1 to be named as Schumacher's successor at Stoke.
Lowe Among The Other Candidates
Ryan Lowe can feel aggrieved that he wasn't given more time to turn things around as Preston manager.
Lowe (13/2) was the first manager sacked after the start of the EFL season following Preston's 2-0 loss to Sheffield United on the opening weekend of the season.
The 45-year-old will be itching to get back into management and prove he is a manager capable of doing well in the Championship.
Others in the frame include Quique Sanchez Flores (6/1), David Moyes (9/1), Alex Neil (10/1) and Tony Mowbray (14/1).
