Ladbrokes believe Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, is the most likely Premier League manager to either be sacked or resign, following their shock defeat to Burnley on Saturday.
The UK bookmaker reacted to the Blues’ 3-2 loss, by making Conte the 7-2 favourite in their market, on which top-flight coach will be the first to leave his post this season.
Newcastle United’s Rafa Benitez and Stoke City’s Mark Hughes are joint-second in the betting at 9-2.
The Premier League champions fell apart, after captain Gary Cahill was sent off for a lunge into Steven Defour in the first half.
