Royal Rumble odds reveal Vincent Kompany is toughest Premier League boss

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is the most fearsome Premier League manager and favourite to be the last man standing in a fictitious top flight Royal Rumble, according to exclusive odds compiled by SportsLens.

• SportsLens reveal who is the toughest Premier League manager
• Betting traders reckon Vincent Kompany is harder than his rivals

Ahead of the new Premier League season we wondered which of the 20 managers is the toughest, not mentally but physically.

The best way to settle this is a 20 man Royal Rumble and we had our trader price up the brawl.

Premier League manager Royal Rumble Odds

• Vincent Kompany – 7/1
• Robert Edwards – 7/1
• Sean Dyche – 10/1
• Jurgen Klopp – 14/1
• Paul Heckingbottom – 16/1
• Thomas Frank – 16/1
• Mauricio Pochettino – 25/1
• Pep Guardiola – 25/1
• Erik ten Hag – 25/1
• Roberto De Zerbi – 25/1
• Androni Iraola – 25/1
• Mikel Arteta – 25/1
• David Moyes – 25-1
• Ange Postecoglou – 25/1
• Unai Emery – 25-1
• Julian Lopetegui – 25/1
• Marco Silva – 25/1
• Steve Cooper – 33/1
• Roy Hodgson – 500/1

SportsLens Head of News Lee Astley said: “Vincent Kompany was well known for being hard man in his playing days and having only retired in the last few years will surely be a force to be reckoned with. Sean Dyche is another manager who wouldn’t look out of place in a wrestling ring and I reckon he would fancy his chances of being the last man standing.

“The likes of Jurgen Klopp and David Moyes are past their peak now in terms of physicality, so would have to rely on experience and perhaps even some bending of the rules if they were to stand a chance in the Premier League Royal Rumble.”

Relegation candidates are the bosses to beat in the ring

Belgian powerhouse Kompany took no prisoners during his trophy-laden career and the 6’3″ behemoth would have a huge physical advantage over the likes of David Moyes, 60 and Unai Emery, 51, in the squared circle.

Luton manager Robert Edwards led his side to playoff glory last season to reach the Premier League and the Welshman is also priced at 7/1 alongside Kompany to emerge victorious in the ring.

Title contenders don’t pack a punch

Testosterone levels in the top flight are invariably through the roof with the likes of Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag (25/1) going hell for leather on the touchline but their odds suggest they won’t be much trouble in the ring.

With plenty of bad blood between the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, and Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino gunning for revenge on former club Tottenham, a Premier League Royal Rumble would certainly sort the managerial men from the boys.

The Arsenal boss is looking to go one better this season after pushing Man City to the brink and the Spaniard would surely have some wily tactics in the ring, making him a good outside chance at 25/1.

Spurs title wait to drag on?

Tottenham manager and Prem newcomer Ange Postecoglou is something of an unknown quantity, much like the Undertaker was when he shocked the world on his WWF debut at Survivor Series way back in 1990.

Whether Postecoglou has the same impact remains to be seen but the Aussie could be worth a look to continue his silverware streak the began at Celtic at 25/1.
