Next West Ham manager odds now make favourite odds on as Potter’s future looks fragile

The pressure is mounting at the London Stadium, and bookmakers are now pointing firmly at Graham Potter as the most likely Premier League manager to be next sacked.

With West Ham in the relegation zone since the opening day defeat, the odds have shifted rapidly since the weekend after a third home loss to a London rival — and the names being linked as possible replacements are no longer fringe whispers.

Graham Potter Now Odds On

A fresh snapshot from Oddschecker shows a clear top tier in the market: Nuno (1/2) leading the way, followed by Bilic (6/4), then Gary O’Neil (5/1) and Sean Dyche (12/1).

Further back sit Michael Carrick (14/1) and a group at 25/1 that includes Gareth Southgate, Kieran McKenna and Edin Terzić, among others. Odds will continue to move, but the current pricing paints a stark picture of where confidence lies.

Reports from various source today confirm that West Ham are actively considering their options, with Nuno understood to be open to a return to Premier League management. They also note the club may time any decision around the upcoming trips to Everton and Arsenal, which would align with the market’s caution before a final call.

Separately, sack-race pricing has Graham Potter as a heavy favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave, reinforcing why the “next West Ham manager” market has tilted so firmly towards immediate, pragmatic candidates rather than long-term projects.

What the frontrunners represent

• Nuno Espírito Santo — organisation-first coach, typically builds compact, transition-ready sides; seen by markets as the quickest stabiliser.
• Slaven Bilić — knows the club, strong dressing-room presence, and would have instant buy-in from sections of the fanbase; odds put him closest to Nuno.
• Gary O’Neil — reputation for troubleshooting and squeezing points from tough runs; priced as the most likely “third option” at present.

Bookmaker odds aren’t confirmation — but they are a temperature check. Right now, they suggest West Ham are far closer to a change than not, with Nuno firmly out in front and Bilić within striking distance. Results in the next two matches will likely determine whether those prices harden into reality or drift away.
