The Sack Race: Betting on the Next Manager to be Sacked
Best Betting Site for Next St Johnstone Manager Betting
There is a huge range of UK Bookmakers to choose from but only very few that offer next-manager betting, if at all - As we have covered every club management change over the seasons, looking for betting odds on who the next club manager will be, we have found the following betting sites to be the most reliable and quickest to get odds up for the next manager at most clubs
Who Will Be The Next St Johnstone Manager?
Here are a few candidates that could be in a position to take up the role of the next St Johnstone manager when the position becomes available again - these are drawn from previous considerations and appearances in the betting market prior to the last hire.
Scott Brown
Brown was installed as the 5/2 favourite in the St Johnstone next manager betting market prior to Craig Levein being appointed in November 2023. The former Celtic and Scotland midfielder was sacked as manager of English League One club Fleetwood Town in September 2023.
David Martindale
It was reported that Livingston coach David Martindale was approached by St Johnstone when Steve Maclean was sacked in October 2023. He was quoted in the betting at around 7/2, but Martindale, who has performed such a terrific job with Livi, stayed put.
Tommy Wright
Mr St Johnstone is Tommy Wright, who spent seven years as a manager and nine years in total but quit when deciding he needed a break. The fans who worry that the Saint's best days are behind them would get an immediate boost if Wright returned. In August 2023 Wright was appointed Northern Ireland Under 21 manager.
Jim McIntyre
As a manager, Jim McIntyre won the Scottish First Division in 2011 with Dunfermline Athletic and the Scottish League Cup in 2016 at Ross County. Most recently, he was at Cove Rangers (2022 -2023) but was sacked after just 25 games on the back of a 6-1 defeat by ICT.
Neil Lennon
No Scottish manager betting list would be complete without Neil Lennon. The former Hibs and Celtic manager is currently without a club, having been sacked by Cypriot club Omonia in October 2022.
