The managerial merry-go-round at Molineux is spinning at full pace as Wolverhampton Wanderers begin their search for a new leader, with betting markets revealing some intriguing early favourites.
Championship Bosses Lead the Charge
Current Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick has emerged as the surprising frontrunner in the early betting, with the former Manchester United midfielder priced at just 2/1 to take the reins at Molineux. Carrick's impressive work at Riverside Stadium hasn't gone unnoticed by Premier League clubs.
Close behind is Luton Town's Rob Edwards at 3/1, whose remarkable achievement of guiding the Hatters to Premier League promotion makes him an attractive candidate for Wolves hierarchy.
Former Manchester United Manager in the Mix
In a dramatic twist, recently departed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag appears prominently in the betting at 4/1. The Dutchman's availability following his Old Trafford exit makes him a compelling, if unexpected, contender for the Midlands club.
Current Bournemouth technical coach Gary O'Neil also features prominently at 5/1, suggesting Wolves might be looking for a manager familiar with Premier League survival battles.
Outside Bets and Dark Horses
The list of potential candidates extends beyond the immediate favourites:
- Carlos Corberán (West Brom) - 8/1
- Julen Lopetegui (Former Wolves manager) - 10/1
- Steve Cooper (Former Nottingham Forest) - 12/1
- John Eustace (Former Birmingham City) - 14/1
With the new Premier League season approaching rapidly, Wolves fans are eagerly awaiting news of who will lead their team into what promises to be another challenging campaign.
