I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Danny Rohl is 4/6 favourite with BetVictor to become the next permanent manager.
  • Southampton reach 12 points, avoiding Derby’s record low of 11.
  • The club is seeking a long-term appointment ahead of the 2025/26 Championship campaign.

Saints Ending Season With Dignity But Still No Manager Confirmed

Southampton’s goalless draw against Manchester City may not have turned heads on paper, but it ensured the club avoided the ignominy of equalling Derby’s record-low 11-point Premier League finish.

Now attention turns to the off-pitch rebuild with UK Betting Sites giving odds on the next Southampton manager to lead them into the Championship next season.

According to BetVictor, Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is the 4/6 favourite to take the role and reports suggest that the Saints are interested in the manager.

Those odds imply a 60% chance that Rohl will be the next Southampton manager with Gary O'Neil following tightly behind him in the current market.

What the expert says...
Danny Rohl’s position as favourite makes a lot of sense. Southampton need a clear, long-term strategy and his Championship experience could be vital. With the market this short, movement could happen quickly.

Could Rohl Be the Right Fit?

Danny Rohl has earned plaudits at Sheffield Wednesday for his structured style and tactical maturity and is widely seen as a progressive choice. 

His familiarity with Championship-level demands and player development makes him a strong candidate to lead the Saints’ rebuild.

Gary O’Neil is second in the market at 7/4 but it remains to be seen whether he’d consider dropping down to the Championship after previous Premier League roles.

Further out are Will Still (8/1), Steven Gerrard (10/1) and Marti Cifuentes (12/1) all of whom have been linked to various English jobs in the past year but appear unlikely based on current odds movement.
