Luke Williams is under increasing pressure to keep his job as manager of Swansea City.
The Swans currently sit in the bottom half of the Championship table and have not won in six games in all competitions. They’ve been thumped 5-1, 4-0 and 3-0 (twice) in recent weeks, piling the pressure on their manager as a result.
Therefore, Gambling.com have created a market on the possible replacements should Williams leave the club.
Page A Surprise Favourite For Top Job
Robert Page is the surprise name leading the market probably because he played for Swansea rivals Cardiff nine times in his playing days.
His only experience at club management came with Port Vale and Northampton, but despite this inexperience, the markets have him priced as the 8/5 favourite for the Swansea job on the back of his recent successful stint with Wales.
Could Martin Make A Return?
Russell Martin would be a controversial choice to succeed Williams in the Swansea dugout.
He is priced at 7/4 to replace his former right-hand man at the Welsh club.
Another Former Swans Boss In The Frame
Steve Cooper was a hugely popular figure at the club between 2019 and 2021. He led the Swans into the play-offs twice, ultimately failing to gain promotion on both occasions.
He is as short as 2/1 to return to the Swansea.com Stadium.
Dyche Looking For New Challenge
Sean Dyche is another manager currently out of work.
His playing style may not be exactly what the Swans are looking for, but his vast experience as a coach has him currently priced at 9/4.
Walter, Bulut And Evatt In The Frame
Among the other names in the running, former Hull City boss Tim Walter is next best in the market at 3/1.
At odds of 4/1, Erol Bulut would be the most controversial appointment. The Turk has been out of work since being sacked by Cardiff in September. It would be a big surprise if he was given the Swansea job after being connected to their Welsh rivals.
Ian Evatt (5/1) is on the lookout for a new job after leaving Bolton, while Mat Sadler (6/1), Craig Harrison (10/1) and Rhys Griffiths (10/1) are others in the running.
