Next Wolves Manager Odds: David Moyes Heads Field To Replace Gary O'Neil
© PA

Winless Wolves remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with just three points from their opening 10 games.

Fans are becoming increasingly frustrated as Gary O'Neil heads into the third international break under pressure despite overseeing back-to-back 2-2 draws with Brighton and Crystal Palace.

O'Neil will point to the fact that his side have had the toughest start of any side, after facing six sides in the top eight.

The fixture list is starting to become easier, but should O'Neil fail to get out the club out of the relegation zone over the next six games - all of which are potentially winnable - then it could spell the end of the road for the former Bournemouth boss.

Do Wolves stick with O'Neil hoping he can turns things around when the fixtures get a little more friendly, or do they decide to make a change before it's too late?

The leading betting sites have opened a market on who might replace O’Neil as Wolves manager.

We take a look at who could replace O'Neil at Molineux.

Moyes On Pole For Wolves Job

If Wolves decide to change their manager, then they need a person who will be able to turn things around quickly. 

David Moyes could be that person as he awaits his next appointment following his departure from West Ham at the end of last season.

Moyes has more than 800 games experience as a manager in the Premier League and could be the man to get Wolves off the bottom of the table. 

The Scot, who guided West Ham to Europa Conference League glory in 2022, is now the 6/4 favourite with betting apps.

Conceicao Second In Line

Sergio Conceicao led the way on football betting sites a few weeks ago to be next through the door at Molineux, but he is now the 2/1 second favourite.

The Portuguese is currently out of work having left Porto, with whom he won three league titles and five domestic cups, in the summer. 

It is no secret that Wolves have deep Portuguese connections via their link with agent Jorge Mendes. 

Conceicao is a Mendes client, so that would boost his chances of landing the Wolves job. After seven years at Porto, he might be ready for a new challenge in England.

Van The Man For Molineux?

Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to be looking for a new job during the international break following Manchester United’s decision to appoint Ruben Amorim as their new manager.

Van Nistelrooy has been acting as caretaker boss since Erik ten Hag was dismissed and still has until the weekend to put himself in the shop window.

The Dutchman got off to a flying start with a 5-2 Carabao Cup victory over Leicester followed by a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The Foxes will be United’s opponents for his final game in charge on Sunday after which he will be available for work.

Van Nistelrooy has previous experience of leading an elite team as head coach at PSV with whom he won the Dutch Cup in the 2022/23 season and is 5/2 to start a new role at Wolves.

Schmidt Looking For Next Challenge After Benfica

Roger Schmidt's time at Benfica came to an end on the last day of August after a disappointing start to the season.  

After leading Benfica to the 2022/23 title, Schmidt could not replicate that success in the following season and a 1-1 draw at Moreirense at the start of the current campaign proved to be the end of the road for the German

Having managed PSV, Red Bull Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen in the past, it's easy to see why Schmidt is 3/1 to be named the next manager of Wolves.

Benitez Yet To Decide Where He Goes Next

Rafael Benitez is still considering where he wants to manage next, although the Spaniard recently suggested that he would not necessarily enjoy a firefighting job with a club around the relegation zone. 

However, that could be offset by his desire to return to the Premier League and Benitez has made no secret of the fact he enjoys working in England, where he retains a family home. 

Odds of 7/2 are available on the former Liverpool boss joining Wolves as their next permanent head coach.

Corberan A Premier League Manager In The Waiting

Carlos Corberan will feel he deserves a shot at a Premier League club. 

The Spaniard continues to prove his managerial skills in the Championship with West Brom, who sit fifth in the table. 

Nobody should be surprised by the job he is doing at The Hawthorns, as those who follow football closely will appreciate the job he did at Huddersfield from July 2020 to July 2022.

Ideally, Corberan (5/1) would like to take the Baggies back to the promised land, but if that doesn't happen, then he might have to listen to offers from other clubs.

Potter Still Looking For Work

Graham Potter has been linked with many high-profile roles, but remains without a job since being sacked by Chelsea 19 months ago.

Potter bit off more than he could chew at Stamford Bridge where a bloated squad packed with global stars made it an impossible job to manage.

That said, the former York City defender should be judged by his incredible seven-year spell with Ostersund in Sweden which caught the eye of Swansea.

Potter took the plaudits for his three years at Brighton which ultimately led to his ill-fated move to Stamford Bridge.

He has generally been a success wherever he has coached and is 6/1 to end up back in his native West Midlands.

Eustace Enhancing Reputation At Blackburn

John Eustace is once again proving how good a manager he is at Blackburn. 

Eustace's side are 10th in the Championship after 14 games, just three points off the top six.

The manager was dealt a blow when he lost prolific scorer Sammie Szmodics, but his side are still challenging for a place in the play-offs.

Eustace (10/1) was controversially sacked more than a year ago by Birmingham, who wanted to bring Wayne Rooney in as his replacement, even though the Blues were sixth in the Championship - a decision the club came to regret.

Swede Dreams For Wolves?

Elsewhere, Swedish coach Jimmy Thelin has been working wonders at Aberdeen, whose unbeaten start to the Scottish Premiership season means they are joint-top with Celtic after 10 games, nine points clear of Rangers.

Thelin twice led Elfsborg to runners-up spot in the Allsvenskan during his six years in charge and he is 14/1 to go south of the border and become head coach at Wolves.

Erik ten Hag's tenure as Manchester United manager came to an end in October and the Dutchman is 18/1 to get straight back on the saddle at Molineux.
