Next Aston Villa Manager Odds
McLeish was unpopular even before he delivered just 4 home wins in 19 top flight matches.
Aston Villa have wasted no time in showing Alex McLeish the door, just 24 hours after the end of the Premier League season. ‘Big Eck’ lasted just 11 months after an acrimonious move from neighbours Birmingham City. The Villains finished a disappointing two points above the relegation zone in 16th position.
Early indications suggest it’s a two-horse race to be the next permanent manager at the west Midlands club. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is no longer than the 7/4 still available with Skybet. Norwich’s Paul Lambert is a best price 3/1 with StanJames.
If Villa set their sights on an unemployed manager then Rafa Benitez is 16/1 (BetVictor) with Alan Curbishley at 20/1 (Bet365).
