Sheffield United had been on course for automatic promotion at the end of March, but after a patchy run of form that saw them ultimately end up in the Play-offs, the Blades eventually fell at a Wembley final against Sunderland.

This failure to get promoted may well cost Chris Wilder his job. With that in mind, the experts at Sportscasting have released the next Sheffield United manager betting odds market – with a man who is no stranger to getting a team promoted to the Premier League at the head of the market.

Dyche A Big Fancy In The Next Sheffield United Manager Betting Odds Market 2w2i44

After being sacked by Everton in early January, Sean Dyche is a free agent and is looking for his next managerial post.

Dyche was under pressure at Goodison Park for the bulk of his tenure at the Merseyside club, whom he ed in 2023. Under trying circumstances he kept the Toffees in the top flight twice before losing his job.

Before Everton, Dyche was manager at Watford and then made his name during a decent 10-year period at Burnley between 2012 and 2022.

As a result, the best betting sites in the UK have installed Dyche as the market leader in the next Sheffield United manager betting odds market – should the Blades call time on Chris Wilder.

Could The Blades Bring In Former Wolves Boss Gary O’Neil? 3q562

Second in the betting is the former Portsmouth and Middlesbrough midfielder Gary O’Neil, who has developed a growing reputation within the game.

After retiring as a player, he started working with Liverpool’s Under 23s and was on the backroom staff at Bournemouth – who appointed him manager in 2022.

Bournemouth sacked O’Neil in June 2023, but less than two months later he returned to the game as the Wolves head coach. He led them to a 14th-place finish in 2023-24, but he was dismissed in December 2024 with the club in the Premier League relegation zone.

Steve Cooper In Contention For Bramall Lane Post 1n3q6n

Like Sean Dyche and Gary O’Neil, Steve Cooper is a former Premier League manager who is currently without a job and he is the third favourite in the next Sheffield United manager odds market.

Cooper was in charge of the England side that won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017, with players such as Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho and Morgan Gibbs-White starring.

He led Swansea to the Championship play-offs two years in a row, losing the 2021 final to Brentford. But he went one better in his next job, winning at Wembley with Nottingham Forest in May 2022 to take the club back to the Premier League.

Having kept Forest up in their first season in the the top flight, Cooper was sacked shortly before Christmas 2023. And he didn’t last long in his next job – as he was dismissed by Leicester City last November, barely five months after he was appointed.

Commentary: Sportscasting spokesman Shane Orton reacted to our ‘Sheffield United Manager Odds’ saying: 154i1v

“There are many free agent managers who would likely welcome the chance to lead Sheffield United. After all, the Blades are a big club with lofty ambitions of becoming an established Premier League team.

“Sean Dyche has a track record of being able to get teams promoted to the Premier League and keeping sides up, as evidenced by his stints at Burnley and Everton. As a result, it would be no surprise if Dyche ended up at the helm in South Yorkshire this summer.

“Gary O’Neil has arguably been unfortunate to be sacked by both Bournemouth and Wolves – so don’t rule out Sheffield United giving him another opportunity.

“While things didn’t work out at Leicester for Steve Cooper, the Welshman can point to getting Forest promoted to the Premier League at his first attempt and then keeping them up. Our traders think Cooper could potentially revive his career at Bramall Lane.”
