Burnley next manager odds: Wilder leads Allardyce, Rooney, Bilic and Solskjaer in race to replace Dyche

CHRIS WILDER leads the race to be the next Burnley manager ahead of Sam Allardyce and Wayne Rooney.

That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve significantly altered their betting market for the vacant position at Turf Moor since Sean Dyche’s sacking last week.

Sam Allardyce was installed as the 10/3 favourites soon after the decision was announced, but the veteran boss has drifted out to 9/2, and is now 2/1 second favourite behind Wilder.

Dyche, who was the Premier League’s longest serving manager having taken over in 2012, left with the club anchored in 18th position and four points from safety.

The Clarets had lost FIVE of their last SIX top-flight games with their latest defeat against Norwich being the 50-year-old’s last game in charge.

They took a point this weekend against West Ham but remain in deep trouble, three points behind Everton having played a game more.

They face Southampton on Thursday and hope to have someone appointed by then.

Chairman Alan Pace thought a change was needed to ‘give the squad the best possible chance’ of staying in the division.

He said: “Firstly, we would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Sean and his staff for their achievements at the Club over the last decade.

“However, results this season have been disappointing and, while this was an incredibly difficult decision, with eight crucial games of the campaign remaining, we feel a change is needed to give the squad the best possible chance of retaining its Premier League status.”

It was reported today that Burnley could appoint an interim boss until the summer before a long-term solution in the summer.

Who is favourite to replace Sean Dyche?

The process of replacing Dyche is already underway, and Chris Wilder is favourite at 7/4.

The 54-year-old is currently in charge of Championship Middlesbrough, who are in the mix for a promotion play-off place with four matches of the campaign remaining.

Sam Allardyce is second favourite at 2/1 ahead of Wayne Rooney at 15/2.

Elsewhere former Burnley defender and current Cheltenham boss Michael Duff is offered at 10/1.
