Next Blackpool Manager Odds
Manager Neil Critchley was sacked just two games into the 2024/25 season. In early September 2024, the Tangerines appointed the much-travelled Steve Bruce. Blackpool became the thirteenth club where he has been at the helm in a more than 25-year managerial career. He becomes the 41st boss at Bloomfield Road, and it must be hoped he can guide the club back to the Championship after suffering relegation in 2023. If yet another change comes the leading bookmakers will have all the next Blackpool manager odds with clues as to which managers are available via the next EFL Championship manager to be sacked blog.
There are instances when these odds might not be readily available for certain clubs. This could be because the position has only recently been filled, the club is currently performing exceptionally well, or the club has a strong history of standing by its manager through thick and thin.
Additionally, in some cases, the Blackpool manager's position might be vacant, but there are strong indications or even rumours about the potential replacement. Despite these unique circumstances, it is worth noting that if betting odds do become available, we will present them here in this section for your convenience. Regular updates related to the manager's position can also be found in the dedicated sports betting news section expertly managed by Jake Ashton. So, keep an eye out for any developments as we strive to keep you informed on the latest happenings in the football managerial landscape.

Who Will Be The Next Blackpool Manager
Here is a list of potential candidates for the Blackpool job if it were to come up - the list is born of those previously appearing in the market when the position was vacant and some whose profile fits previous Blackpool Managers.
Ryan Lowe

Headed the Blackpool managerial betting when Neil Critchley was let go. The timing looked right with Lowe an early managerial season (2024-25) casualty at Lancashire rivals Preston North End.
Pete Wild

Another manager whose name was in the frame in 2024 was former Oldham, Halifax and Barrow manager Pete Wild. He was available after a couple of middling seasons at Holker Street.
Brian Barry Murphy

A regular name in vacant managerial betting odds, Murphy had previously managed Rochdale FC and the Manchester City Development Squad.
Stephen Dobbie

Dobbie revelled at the job when in charge of six Blackpool games at the end of the 2022/23 season. His record of W3 L3 showed his managerial prowess, and it would not be a surprise if the Blackpool coach were to be considered whenever there is another vacancy.
Carlos Carvalhal

The Portuguese-born manager has crossed the globe managing teams from Turkey to Abu Dhabi alongside spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea. His name was also in the frame to be the next Burnley manager when Sean Dyche was sacked in 2022.
Duncan Ferguson

The former Everton and Scotland striker took on his first permanent managerial role at Forest Green Rovers in January 2023. He did not arrive in time to save the Gloucestershire club from relegation and was dismissed in May 2023. Ferguson headed back north for his second job when appointed at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September 2023.
