Bookmakers have suspended the odds of Martin O’Neill being next Manager

Bookmakers have suspended the odds of Martin O’Neill becoming the next Leicester City manager after it is understood that the Premier League club have been given permission to talk with the former Aston Villa boss.

O’Neill is in charge of the Republic of Ireland national team. After a long time, Ireland are expected to qualify for Euro 2016 even at least in the play-off places. This would provide a lot of work for O’Neill in the coming 12 months. There are suggestions that he would retain his job as the England manager while also doing his duties as the Leicester boss.

The Premier League club are in the market for a new manager after recently sacking Nigel Pearson over a lot of differences. Pearson’s son – along with his three friends from the Leicester youth academy – have been found guilty of racial abuse of Thai people. This appears to have hurt Leicester’s owners, who are from this region. This coupled with the numerous issues surrounding Pearson over the last 12 months has broken the patience of the club. They are now looking for an experienced candidate to lead the team after having incredibly avoided relegation last season.

Despite being bottom of the table on Christmas, Leicester became one of the two teams to have survived at the end of the campaign. Towards the last seven games of the season, Leicester were the inform team and were leading this separate table. O’Neill was previously backed at 1/4 to take the job, while former Celtic boss Neil Lennon is also in the running at odds of 8/1, although you can get bigger ods if you use a promotion code. O’Neill is someone who knows Leicester City extremely well after having been in charge of the team back in 1995. They were one of the first teams he managed at the start of his club career.

MOYES IS FAVOURITE

Even the Everton manager David Moyes was the favourite to take over from Harry Redknapp as the manager of Tottenham, the latest soccer betting odds predicted that it will be former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas who will be taking over the hot seat at White Hart Lane.

The Portuguese manager has been out of work after having been sacked by the London club back in March. Even though he guided FC Porto to an incredible four trophies in one season, he has been extremely poor in his spell at Chelsea. He has been unable to manage the big egos at the club.

However, he has become the firm favourite for the job if the football odds are to be believed. The bookmakers have slashed the odds for Andre Villas-Boas to become the next Tottenham manager. This comes as a major surprise given that many predicted that it would be Everton manager David Moyes who will be getting the offer from Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy after having done such an extraordinary job with the Merseyside club in the last 10 years. However, Moyes has said that he has not received any formal offer from Tottenham to take over at white Hart Lane.

Meanwhile, it is also thought that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is also looking at the possibility of making France national team manager Laurent Blanc as the man to succeed Harry Redknapp. The former Portsmouth manager recently left the club after differences between him and the chairman became extraordinary. It was thought that Harry Redknapp was looking at bringing in a number of players in the summer transfer window, while Daniel Levy was quite content with the squad at the club right now. Andre Villas-Boas is thought to have insisted the club upon the retaining of star midfielder Luka Modric.
