Guus Hiddink has been installed the 11/10 favourite with Ladbrokes to replace Carlo Anclelotti as manager of Chelsea.
As news of Ancelotti’s departure arrived, the bookies installed the Dutchman as clear favourite to return to the club he managed temporarily in 2008-2009.
Andre Villas Boa is the 6/1 second favourite with Jose Mourinho available at 8/1 to make a sensational return to the Bridge.
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “Hiddink left Chelsea on great terms and we reckon a return to the Bridge could well be on the cards.
“Experience has taught us that this particular managerial market is even more volatile than usual. There’s very little prospect of an early payout. Abramovich has an uncanny knack of springing surprises.”
