Craig Belllamy is the new favourite to replace Vincent Kompany at Burnley, with Scott Parker and Frank Lampard in the mix.
Kompany departed to Bayern Munich on Wednesday, leaving the newly relegated club searching for a new manager.
The Clarets finished second bottom of the Premier League last season, meaning they will again ply their trade in the second tier.
Kompany's assistant manager Craig Bellamy is the marginal favourite to replace his former boss after moving from 10/1 into 11/4 overnight, though Scott Parker and Frank Lampard remain in the mix.
Parker has two previous promotions from the Championship on his CV, guiding both Fulham and Bournemouth to the top flight.
Next permanent Burnley manager (odds via Sky Bet)
- Craig Bellamy - 11/4
- Scott Parker - 3/1
- Frank Lampard - 9/2
- Ruud van Nistelrooy - 13/2
- Steve Cooper - 11/1
- Raphael Wicky - 12/1
- 14/1 bar
Odds correct at 0945 BST (30/05/24)
Frank Lampard has been out of management since his disastrous caretaker spell at Chelsea, which saw him post the worst win percentage among any Chelsea manager to have taken charge of three or more games - one win in 11 (9%).
He did have some success when last in the Championship, taking Derby to the play-off final before ultimately losing to Aston Villa.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy is also near the head of the market. He has been out of management since a successful stint at PSV which saw him win the KNVB Cup.
Steve Cooper, who guided Nottingham Forest out of the Championship in his last job in the second tier, is the first manager at double figure odds.
