Coral’s boss watch: Monk, Mourinho remain market leaders for axe

Jamie Clark, Sports Editor | December 7, 2015

Garry Monk has once again gone odds-on with Coral at 2/9 in the next Premier League manager to go market, with the Swansea City head coach having drifted last week to 5/4.

Monk may be on his way

The Swans have endured a dismal autumn, winning just once in England’s top-flight since the end of August, and they may need to act now rather than risk a bleak midwinter.

Now sitting just a single point above the relegation zone, Swansea have lost eight of their last dozen matches across all competitions.

Monk is aware the Liberty Stadium side’s board are considering his position with former Swans boss Brendan Rodgers and Rangers manager Mark Warburton linked with taking over. David Moyes, recently sacked by Real Sociedad, is not interested, however.

Time running out for Special One?

Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho remains second-favourite behind market leader Monk at 4/1 with the Blues succumbing to another shock defeat – this time at the hands of promoted side Bournemouth.
