The race to become the next manager of Sunderland is a two horse race between Mark Hughes (evens) and Martin O’Neill (4/5) according to Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes have slashed former Fulham and Manchester City boss Hughes into even money as the firm reported little interest in early favourite Martin O’Neill (4/5). Other contenders for the vacancy include Rafa Benitez (10/1) and current Sunderland caretaker manager Eric Black at 12/1.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes told betrescue.com: “Punters are clearly hoping to see Sparky cut through the Stadium Of Light gloom. He’s been the best backed candidate by far.”
