Premier League next manager sacked: Antonio Conte and Ralph Hasenhuttl favourites after Man Utd shortlist claims
ANTONIO CONTE and Ralph Hasenhuttl are favourites to be the next Premier League managers to leave their positions, according to Sky Bet.
That’s according to Sky Bet, who’ve installed the Tottenham boss at 3/1 and the Southampton chief at 4/1 to be the TENTH managerial casualties of the 2021-22 campaign.

October saw Xisco Munoz and Steve Bruce both sent packing before Nuno Espirito Santo, Daniel Farke, Dean Smith and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were axed in November.
Rafa Benitez and Claudio Ranieri were dismissed after dismal runs at Everton and Watford respectively.
Leeds then chose to sack head coach Marcelo Bielsa, 66, after their 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at Elland Road.
But with under 80 days of the season remaining – will there be more ins and outs in the English top flight?
Hiring and firing traditionally slows towards the end of the campaign with new bosses having less time to make a significant impact.
And that’s perhaps why No Manager To Leave is 5/2 with Sky Bet.
But if there is to be another sacking — Conte (3/1) is the frontrunner.

The Italian suggested he may not be the right man to manage the club following a defeat to Burnley in February.
The 52-year-old also complained about the club’s January dealings and rated their chances of a top-four finish at 1 percent.
However, Conte has now quelled speculation surrounding his future by insisting that he’s fully committed to the club.
Conte dismissed speculation surrounding his future shortly afterwards, but is refusing to look beyond this season.
He said ahead of tonight’s clash with Everton: “At the most important thing is to be focused on the present. It is more important than the future.
“Now we have to solve the situation because we want to finish in the best possible position in the table. Then we will see.
“To change this type of situation takes many, many years at Tottenham. In a short time is it just impossible. Not just for me but for every coach and manager that has come here.”
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is next at 4/1.
The Austrian has been added to the Manchester United managerial shortlist with interviews reportedly set to happen over the next few weeks.
Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are still the favourites but Hasenhuttl is considered a good back-up option.
Watford’s Roy Hodgson is offered at 6/1, while Brendan Rodgers and Thomas Frank are available at 13/2 and 11/1 respectively.
