Leeds United next manager odds as Steven Gerrard in pole position to take over

Former Rangers and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is now the favourite to take over at Leeds United from Sam Allardyce. The Whites tumbled into the Championship following a 4-1 defeat on the final day of the Premier League season against Tottenham Hotspur, with interim boss Allardyce departing soon after as the process of finding his successor began.

Gerrard's odds tumbled from 16/1 down to 4/1 following the Whites' relegation and the Liverpool legend is now the favourite with Bet365 at 2/1 to get the job, with word coming out this week from sources close to Gerrard that suggested he was confident of landing the role.

Former Leeds assistant manager and Under-23s head coach Carlos Corberan is the second favourite priced just behind Gerrard at 5/2, with Daniel Farke's odds dropping in recent days to put him in at third favourite priced 5/1.

Former Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has drifted to 8/1 to take over the Whites, while former Leeds midfielder Lee Bowyer is the 10/1. The appointment of the next manager is unlikely to happen before the takeover at Elland Road, with Andrea Radrizzani expected to sell his remaining shares in the club in the coming days to 49ers Enterprises.

  • Steven Gerrard 2/1
