De Zerbi Shortens As Tottenham's Troubles Deepen
Another defeat for Tottenham this weekend has sent Roberto De Zerbi shortening into favourite among the betting sites to be the next Premier League manager to go.
Spurs head into the three-week international break without a win in the league and rock bottom of the table with just two points from five games, a run of form that's put real pressure on the Sack Race market.
Michael Carrick is second favourite behind him, after a genuinely miserable week for his Manchester United side ended in a 1-1 draw with lowly Fulham.
Gary Neville didn't hold back on commentary, saying: "I've watched Manchester United since the age of five and that's the worst 15 minutes I've ever seen. Absolutely pathetic."
Two points from five games is about as bad a start as any Premier League manager could have, and with the table now showing Spurs rooted at the bottom heading into a lengthy pause in fixtures, there's no obvious quick fix on the horizon.
Next Premier League Manager To Leave Odds
| Premier League Sack Race | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Roberto De Zerbi | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Michael Carrick | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Alvaro Arbeloa | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Pierre Sage | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Frank Lampard | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Gary O'Neil | 11/1 | 8.3% |
De Zerbi's 2/1 price gives him an implied 33.3% chance of being the next manager to leave, with Carrick close behind at 5/2.
Alvaro Arbeloa, whose Fulham side have struggled for results of their own, sits third at 4/1 (20.0%), with Pierre Sage next at 5/1 (16.7%).
Why This International Break Matters
An international break arriving at exactly this moment could prove significant for both De Zerbi and Carrick.
Three weeks without a fixture gives struggling managers time to work on the training ground away from the immediate glare of results, but it also gives boardrooms time to weigh up their options without the pressure of an upcoming match forcing a snap decision either way.
How both clubs use that time could end up shaping this market significantly heading into the run of fixtures that follows.
Some managers use the downtime to reset and come back with a clear plan, while others find the pause simply delays an inevitable decision that's already been made behind closed doors.
Either way, both De Zerbi and Carrick will know that a poor return to action once the Premier League resumes could turn today's short prices into something considerably shorter still.
