Chris Coleman favourite to be next Fulham manager as Slavisa Jokanovic leads sack race

Jokanovic is favourite to be the next manager to be sacked in the Premier League at 6/4 as the Cottagers continue to struggle.

Fulham lost their last game 3-0 to Bournemouth and have just one league win so far this term, picking up just two points since September.

This has left Jokanovic's future in serious doubt, leaving Coleman as favourite at 4/1 to return to Craven Cottage.

The former Wales boss played at Fulham for five years before retiring in 2002 as well as being their manager from 2003-2007.

The bookies have linked the 48-year-old, who is currently in charge of Hebei China Fortune, with the job alongside Sam Allardyce and David Moyes.

Betfair Spokesperson Katie Baylis said: “With just one win this season, having conceded 28 goals and sitting right in the relegation zone it’s no surprise the owners are starting to get concerned about their premier league future.

"Jokanovic is surely feeling the pressure and if he is given the push we make Coleman the 4/1 favourite to return to his old stomping ground where he led Fulham to their best finish in the Premier League when they were ninth in 2003/04.

"Allardyce is next at 5/1 ahead of Moyes at 8/1 with Martin O’Neill at 10/1.”
