The bookmakers’ odds on the next Premier League manager to be sacked have been slashed with a new favourite emerging after Julen Lopetegui 'parted company' with West Ham.

As we enter the January transfer window and the second half of the season, we will likely see the recruitment of both players and managers.

Four managerial changes have already taken place.

In October, Erik ten Hag parted company with Manchester United and was replaced by Ruben Amorim.

Steve Cooper was relieved of his duties as Leicester boss in November before being replaced by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Then, on December 15, Russell Martin and Gary O’Neil left their roles as head coaches of Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In recent weeks, several coaches may have experienced a few sleepless nights, with Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou under pressure after a poor first half of the campaign.

However, West Ham United's Lopetegui, 58, has failed to improve the Hammers' fortunes this season, with the team currently sitting 14th in the division.

Their home form is particularly concerning with just three wins in 10 league games at the London Stadium so far this term. The Guardian reports that the club's technical director, Tim Steidten, has chosen to "stay away" from the training ground due to a breakdown in relationship with the Spaniard.

And talkSPORT reports that West Ham have already 'parted company' with the 58-year-old.

The outlet suggests that former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is "in talks" and expected to be named as a replacement for Lopetegui. Potter, 49, has been out of work since leaving Chelsea in April 2023.

But there is another manager who may be set to depart a struggling Premier League club.

Everton have endured a poor start to the season with just three wins from their 19 games and currently sit one point above 18th place Ipswich Town.

Although Everton have played a game less than all three teams in the bottom three – Ipswich, Leicester City and Southampton – Sean Dyche is under huge pressure from the Goodison Park faithful.

A huge gripe that Toffees supporters have is his seeming unwillingness to change his approach during games. Dyche, 53, has made his name in the game by setting up his teams in a rigid formation focusing on defence ahead of attack.

And still, his side sports one of the best defences in the league, conceding just 25 goals, the seventh least in the division.

But to win matches, you must score goals, and Everton have netted just 15 times so far this season, the second least in the top flight behind Southampton on 12.

And with new owners, The Friedkin Group, at the helm, Dyche’s days could be numbered.

On Monday morning Sky Sports News reported “Everton's new owners The Friedkin Group have been assessing the club's direction and the future of manager Sean Dyche over the weekend."

Dyche’s contract is set to expire in the summer, and this would arguably suit all parties, with the club set to move into their new stadium on Liverpool’s waterfront at the start of the 2025/26 season.

Next manager to be sacked odds via Sky Bet

Julen Lopetegui - 4/7

Sean Dyche - 11/8

Ange Postecoglou - 14/1

Ruud van Nistelrooy - 33/1

Ivan Juric - 33/1

Pep Guardiola - 40/1

Oliver Glasner - 50/1
