 Manchester United losing to Derby County in the Carling Cup is possibly a sign that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is losing his magic touch and VC Bet are betting on who will replace Ferguson as Next Man Utd Manager.
Will This Be Ferguson’s Last Game In Charge£
VC Bet are offering 16/1 that Sir Alex Ferguson’s last game in charge in of Manchester United is in this season’s Champions League final. If he was to leave then they make Jose Mourinho and Martin O Neill favourites to take over.
Different Managers Fighting For Same Job
Mourinho and O Neill are from completely different ends of the football spectrum. Mourinho is the classy choice and he is known for his ability to handle big players whilst O Neill is the tracksuit manager who gets the best out of his players. His current success as Aston Villa manager is certainly giving him a boost for the job. Mourinho and O Neill are both 4/1 to be Next Manchester United Manager with VC Bet.
International Managers On The Radar
Current England manager Fabio Capello is next best in the betting at 12/1 with VC Bet. His chances are likely to depend on how he does at the 2010 World Cup. Another international manager high on the United shortlist is Italy manager Marcelo Lippi who is 18/1 with VC Bet.
Fergie Pupils Looking To Take Over At Old Trafford
Manchester United favourite Roy Keane is 16/1 with VC Bet to succeed former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. A year ago his odds would have been much shorter but he left Sunderland in a bad league position and his reputation has been somewhat tarnished. He needs to have a successful spell at another club before he is ready. Keane is not the only player to have played under Ferguson to be linked with the job. Mark Hughes is 20/1 with VC Bet, Paul Ince and Gary Neville are 50/1 with VC Bet, Eric Cantona is 66/1 with VC Bet and Brian McClair and Bryan Robson are 100/1 with VC Bet.
Like Father Like Son
Another interesting choice could be Sir Alex’s son, Darren Ferguson, currently in charge of Peterborough. He is a 20/1 chance with VC Bet.
