Could David Moyes Leave West Ham at the End of the Season?

English Premier League side West Ham recently crashed out of the UEFA Europa League after losing 5-1 on aggregate to German Bundesliga side SC Freiburg. 

It was their only chance at silverware this year, and their exit from European football recently started rumours about Moyes being the next EPL manager to be sacked. 

Here are the actual odds of him losing his job before any other favourites are sacked by their respective clubs. 

Is it possible to place a bet on the next English Premier League manager to be sacked?

Yes! Today, it is possible to bet on ‘almost’ anything, as long as the betting operator has a market available for what you want to bet on – and there is a pretty sizable market out there for betting on EPL managerial positions. You will most likely be able to find these markets at popular betting sites, as these sites generally offer a wider range of markets than local options. This is also handy if you want to get your bet in before the outlook for managerial positions changes, as it often does) offering options for these sorts of bets. Some sites also accept cryptocurrencies for betting, which brings a range of benefits to punters.

This particular bet type has become a favourite for many lucky online sports bettors, earning them plenty by correctly predicting which manager will be the next to lose his job in the Premier League. 

Will he be the next sacked manager? Sportsbook odds do not point to it

The quickest, easiest, and most reliable way to find out which Prem manager is going to be sacked next would be to look at the latest odds for this particular market and then compare the odds to try and get the best price. 

To some people’s surprise, ‘Moysie’ is not the odds-on favourite next manager to be sacked. He is not even in the top five. Let us take a closer look at the latest average odds:

• Erik Ten Hag. Club: Manchester United. Implied probability rate (IPR): 14.30%. Fractional odds: 6/1. American/moneyline odds: +600. Decimal odds: 7.00
• Mauricio Pochettino. Club: Chelsea. IPR: 12.50%. Fractional odds: 7/1. American/moneyline odds: +700. Decimal odds: 8.00
• Chris Wilder. Club: Sheffield United. IPR: 9.10%. Fractional odds: 10/1. American/moneyline odds: +1000. Decimal odds: 11.00

You then have Vincent Kompany to be sacked at 14/1, David Moyes at 16/1, Sean Dyche at 25/1, followed by Eddie Howe at 25/1, Thomas Frank at 33/1, and then Marco Silva, Jurgen Klopp, Rob Edwards, Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and Robert De Zerbi at around 50/1. 

In other words, things are looking relatively safe for Moyes right now. However, anything is possible in football, and anything can happen to upset these odds, meaning he could walk out the door before any other EPL manager.
