Next Crystal Palace Odds: Thomas Frank big favourite to become next Eagles boss

Thomas Frank is the clear favourite with William Hill to become Crystal Palace’s next permanent manager, with the Dane priced at 1/4 to replace Pierre Sage.

Former Palace defender Tony Popovic is his nearest challenger in the bookmaker’s market at 5/1, while Sean Dyche and Jens Berthel Askou are both available at 7/1.

William Hill’s Lee Phelps said Sage’s future at Selhurst Park was looking increasingly uncertain, with the betting pointing strongly towards Frank as a potential successor.

Next Permanent Crystal Palace Manager Odds:

• Thomas Frank – 1/4
• Tony Popovic – 5/1
• Sean Dyche – 7/1
• Jens Berthel Askou – 7/1
• BAR – 10/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “With Pierre Sage’s future in the Crystal Palace dugout beginning to look increasingly untenable, the betting suggests that Thomas Frank is extremely likely to be the next manager of the South London club.

“The ex-Brentford and Tottenham manager is just 1/4 to take over at Selhurst Park next. He leads ex-Palace defender Tony Popovic in the market (5/1), with the likes of Sean Dyche and Jens Berthel Askou behind at 7/1.”
