Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini 4/1 to be next to leave his post

Competition: Premier League
Market: Pellegrini next manager to leave his post
Odds: 4/1 @ 888 Sport

Manchester City haven’t had the best defence of a Premier League title this season. In manager Manuel Pellegrini’s second campaign in charge of the Sky Blues, they already find themselves eight points off the top spot in the Premier League, while on the brink of elimination in the Champions League.

City have also dropped the same amount of points in 11 games this season that it took 38 games to do last campaign, and supporters aren’t happy with the not-so-subtle decline. Players brought in haven’t improved the squad from the previous season either, and with the Citizens considerably disappointing in Europe, 888 Sport are giving odds of 4/1 for Manuel Pellegrini to be the next to exit his post.

Manchester City still have Bayern Munich to play, which could see them force their way into second place in Group E, depending on other results. Pellegrini’s superior Champions League record, compared to that of predecessor Roberto Mancini, was the reason the Inter Milan manager was replace by the Chilean at City originally, but should they suffer elimination in the group stages, it could well cost him his job.
