Manchester City next manager best odds
Given below is a list of managers who have the best odds of becoming the next manager:
| Manager | Odds |
| Roberto De Zerbi | 3/1 |
| Vincent Kompany | 5/1 |
| Zinedine Zidane | 7/1 |
| Julian Nagelsmann | 9/1 |
| Mikel Arteta | 9/1 |
Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi took over Brighton at the start of the campaign after Graham Potter left. However, De Zerbi, left at the close of the current campaign, ending his first season in the English Premier League. Behind De Zerbi is Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany, who previously managed Anderlecht and dominated the Championship after winning the title with Burnley.
However, Kompany could soon take charge of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is also among the list of favourites to take charge of City with odds of 7/1. The Frenchman managed to win three Champions League titles with Los Blancos. Meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann and Mikel Arteta also feature on the list of favourites to take over Manchester City, with odds of 9/1 each. Xabi Alonso could also be a possible target, but seems highly unlikely after an unbeaten season with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
