Ladbrokes have slashed odds on Ryan Giggs becoming the next manager of Aston Villa to just 6/1.
Following Roberto Di Matteo's departure, Steve Bruce and David Wagner still lead the market at Evens and 5/2 respectively, but Giggs is gradually creeping closer to them in the market.
The Welshman had been 12/1 last night to take over the Championship club, and his experience as assistant at Man United over the last three years would certainly be welcomed at Villa Park.
And given that he's recently been linked with the Swansea job, a step down in divisions would make for a managerial coup for the Villans.

Elsewhere, odds have also been cut on former Villans assistant Roy Keane, who's now 20/1 from 33s yesterday, while ex-boss Tim Sherwood is 12/1 to return to the Midlands.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes News said: "Giggsy stunned the world at Villa Park back in 1999, and fans will be hoping he can conjure more magic should he be handed the reigns."
