Next Chelsea Manager Odds: Cesc Fabregas Backed To Take Over At Stamford Bridge
According to the latest sports betting markets, William Hill have priced Cesc Fabregas up as a serious contender to be manager of Chelsea on the first day of the 2026/27 Premier League season.
Former Blue Fabregas is 5/1 to be in charge at Stamford Bridge in August as the pressure on Liam Rosenior mounts, though the current boss remains the 2/1 favourite to still be in charge next season.
Fabregas’ odds place him second in the market alongside another ex-Chelsea title-winner Filipe Luis, with Diego Simeone (6/1) and Andoni Iraola (13/2) completing the top five.
