With Newcastle not quite fulfilling the potential that many had heaped on them a few seasons ago, a lot of Toon fans have got one eye on the next Newcastle manager odds market in case current boss Eddie Howe leaves the club in some way or another.
Brendan Rodgers Favourite In The Next Newcastle Manager Odds Market
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is the man the SportsCasting traders and best football betting sites in the UK and saying has the best chance of become the next Newcastle manager – if current head coach Eddie Howe is shown the door.
Rodgers, is still at the helm at the heavyweight SPL side – in what is his second spell with Celtic. However, many football experts are suggesting the former Liverpool boss is keen on a return to the English top-flight and Newcastle could be a nice fit.
Of course, Rodgers has also had a spell at Leicester City, so knows the Premier League well. Plus, he led the Foxes to their first FA Cup title in 2021 with a 1-0 win over Chelsea.
He replaced Ange Postecoglou at Celtic, in what was his second spell at the club, in June 2023 – signing a three year deal – and even though at the time he said he would be ‘guaranteed’ to see out his contract, a lot can change in the world of football management if the right offer comes along.
Rodgers guided Celtic to yet another SPL title in the 2023-24 season – seeing off old rivals Rangers into second.

Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton, reacted to our ‘Next Newcastle Manager Odds’ saying:
“A few years ago, many thought with the mega bucks behind Newcastle they would be breaking into the top four of the Premier League and even challenging for the title. However, the promise of big transfer funds hasn’t really happened for current boss Eddie Howe and you feel the Magpies have hit a bit of a stale patch.
“With this in mind, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Toon management look to start afresh at some point this season and with an average start to the 2024-25 campaign the pressure continues to rise on Eddie Howe.
“It might be a hard job for Newcastle to intice Brendan Rodgers away from Celtic, where he looks certain to win more trophies at this season – the timing just looks a bit off.
“So, for me, out-of work Graham Potter might be easier to attract for the Magpies. The former Chelsea man looks value at 9/2 in the next Newcastle manager betting odds market to me.
Could The Next Newcastle Manager Be Graham Potter?
The market is also suggesting that Graham Potter would be a firm favourite in the next Newcastle manager odds market. He’s currently the second favourite at 9/2 with our traders.
Potter seems to be linked with a lot of sides at the moment – but it’s easy to see why. The former Chelsea and Brighton man is a free agent, which will make him a very easy and attractive option for any team looking for a fresh start in the dugout.
He was sacked by Chelsea back in April 2023, but after getting a huge payout has been able to take his time in finding his next role. Could Newcastle be that move?
Other Next Newcastle Manager Odds Also See Gareth Southgate In The Running
According to the best betting sites in the UK other names that are just behind the main players in the next Newcastle manager odds market is former England boss Gareth Southgate.
Southgate, of course, left his Three Lions role at the end of the Euros last summer and has stated that he wanted some time away from management.
However, with over six months to freshen-up many are suggesting Southgate could be ready to return and having managed Boro back in 2006-09 is no stranger to life in club management.
Lee Carsley and Adi Hutter Also Fancied In Next Newcastle Manager Odds Market
Another former England man Lee Carsley is not ruled out in the next Newcastle manager betting odds market either – the Irish former Everton player is in the top half of the market.
Ex Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is 12/1 to make a quick return to the dugout.
While Austrian coach Adi Hütter, who is catching the eye of many at Monaco, is another name doing the rounds to be the next Newcastle manager should Eddie Howe be shown the door.
