Sunderland, who recently fired assistant coach Mark Venus under Mowbray, said that Mike Dodds will take over as head coach until a new one is hired. Sunderland’s first game under Dodds will be against West Brom on Saturday at the Stadium of Light.
The next Sunderland manager
- Paul Heckingbottom 3/1
- Steven Schumacher 4/1
- John Eustace 9/2
- Julien Sable 6/1
- Nathan Jones 10/1
- Kevin Muscat 12/1
- Lee Carsley 12/1
- Frank Lampard 14/1
The most likely candidate to take over as Sunderland manager is Paul Heckingbottom. Bookies have put the Sheffield United manager at 3/1 to replace Tony Mowbray, who was fired on Monday
With the Black Cats sitting ninth in the Championship and having won only once in their previous five games, Mowbray was fired. The former manager of West Brom, Blackburn, and Celtic had led Sunderland to the playoffs the previous year, but they were defeated by eventual winners Luton in the semifinals.
Moreover, Sheffield United fired Heckingbottom that same day. With the Blades having only five points from their previous 14 Premier League games, Heckingbottom had to leave which is why the odds are what they are. Before this season, he lost perhaps his two finest players, Sander Berge and Iliman Ndiaye, while having no money to spend. Still, he performed a miracle to get the team promoted the previous year. He is 3/1 with Sky Bet to wear Sunderland’s stripes.
Steven Schumacher, the manager of Plymouth, is next at 4/1 after his team’s recent home victory over Sunderland. They were promoted from League One and are currently ranked sixteenth. After being fired by Birmingham, John Eustace (9/2) is still unemployed and is placed ahead of assistant coach Julien Sable (6/1). Next, it’s up to double figures for England under-21 manager Lee Carsley (12/1) and Kevin Muscat (12/1) who was recently highly connected to the Rangers position and Nathan Jones (10/1) who failed as Southampton’s manager.
