Chris Wilder and Wayne Rooney are short-priced to become Burnley's new manager after Sean Dyche was sacked with the club third-bottom of the Premier League with eight games left to play.
Middlesbrough manager Wilder and Derby boss Rooney are 6/4 and 7/4 with Sky Bet respectively.
Sam Allardyce had been installed as the early 3/1 favourite following Friday morning's shock announcement but has since drifted a touch to 7/2 and third in the betting.
- Chris Wilder - 6/4
- Wayne Rooney - 7/4
- Sam Allardyce - 7/2
- Michael Duff - 6/1
- David Unsworth - 20/1
- Gareth Ainsworth - 22/1
- Nuno Esprito Santo - 22/1
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 22/1
- Phil Neville - 22/1
- Rafael Benitez - 28/1

Dyche, 50, was the longest serving manager in the top flight having been appointed in October 2012.
He twice secured promotion from the Sky Bet Championship, achieving safety for the last five seasons, but the current campaign has been a struggle from the start, with Burnley winning just four of their 30 league fixtures.
A 2-0 defeat at Norwich last weekend, only days after a seemingly seismic win over Everton, appears to have been the final straw.
Burnley are currently four points from safety, and with Everton not in action this weekend they can narrow that gap to just one with victory at West Ham on Sunday.
Club captain Ben Mee will be part of the coaching staff for Sunday’s trip to West Ham alongside under-23s coaches Mike Jackson and Connor King, as well as academy director Paul Jenkins.
“Firstly, we would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Sean and his staff for their achievements at the club over the last decade," said chairman Alan Pace, whose ALK Capital group took over at Turf Moor in December 2020.
“During his time at Turf Moor, Sean has been a credit both on and off the pitch, respected by players, staff, supporters, and the wider football community.
“However, results this season have been disappointing and, while this was an incredibly difficult decision, with eight crucial games of the campaign remaining, we feel a change is needed to give the squad the best possible chance of retaining its Premier League status.”
