As pressure mounts on Roy Hodgson, the latest betting odds for the next Crystal Palace manager have been revealed, indicating Steve Cooper as a potential replacement.
A recent 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal triggered immense frustration among the club’s supporters, which was only heightened after a 4-1 defeat to rivals Brighton.
While the entire blame for the Eagles’ poor form cannot be placed solely on Hodgson, head coaches typically bear the consequences.
Palace Chairman Steve Parish faces an important decision that may test his loyalty. Despite Hodgson’s history of keeping the Eagles in the Premier League, there’s a sense that his position is now precarious.
The question looms: Who will step in as the next manager in South London? Let’s delve into the current betting odds for insights.

Who Will The Next Crystal Palace Manager Be?
Taking the odds for some of the managers listed above, we have outlined the implied probability of who the next Crystal Palace manager will be.
UK bookmakers have priced Steve Cooper as the leading candidate at 2/1 odds to succeed Hodgson. Parish and sporting director Dougie Freedman have long expressed admiration for the former Nottingham Forest gaffer. The key consideration lies in whether Cooper is inclined to take an extended break from the game following his exit from Forest. Kieran McKenna and Graham Potter are also favourable contenders at 5/2 and 5/1, respectively, with the latter eyeing a return to management following an underwhelming spell at Chelsea. An outside bet is Will Still, who has caught the headlines during his tenure in France, managing Ligue 1 side Reims, and the young manager could be keen on a job in England. Meanwhile, Gareth Southgate is a far-fetched selection, as he looks set to guide England through the European Championships, but his playing days with the Eagles make him an interesting thought.
