Coral’s boss watch: Great price on no more managers to go this season

Sam Barnard, Assistant Sports Editor | February 8, 2016

No Premier League managers are odds-on to leave next, and so we think an enticing bet to take is 7/1 for no boss to go this season.

Aston Villa’s Remi Garde tops the market at 9/4, but his team have improved in recent weeks as they attempt to emulate Leicester City’s great escape last term. Maybe they can even challenge for the title in 2016/17 going by this campaign’s logic?

The Villans just beat fellow strugglers Norwich City at the weekend 2-0, to now go five games with just one loss, but they must make up eight points if they are to stay in the top flight.

Van Gaal safe until end of season

Louis van Gaal, meanwhile, is next at 3/1, but with many reports suggesting that Jose Mourinho (or any other manager) will not take over until the end of the season, it may be wise to avoid backing the Dutchman to be next to get the boot.

Manchester United have certainly improved their style in recent weeks and, although, they endured a draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after Diego Costa’s late equaliser, they still looked more like their former self.
