Next Stoke City Manager Betting Tips & Analysis
Like many clubs in the Football League in the modern era, Stoke City have found it hard to appoint a manager who can last for a long time.
The Potters feel some distance away from making a Premier League return with Mark Robins the latest man charged with leading the club back to the top-flight.
It is not yet possible to bet on the next Stoke City manager betting odds, but we have picked out some of the names likely to be in the frame the next time there is a vacancy at the club.
-
Ryan Lowe
Lowe was a big favourite in the next Stoke manager odds prior to Robins getting the job and it is likely he would be a contender again should he remain out of work.
Leaving Preston North End after a single game of the 2024-25 Championship season does not seem to have dented Lowe's reputation and he remains a man in high demand at this level.
-
Gary O'Neil
Losing a pair of Premier League jobs at Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers means that it is likely O'Neil will have to drop down to the Championship to resume his career.
Once seen as a bright coaching talent, O'Neil's reputation took a hit after his struggles at Wolves, but he has surely earned the chance to get another shot.
-
Mark Hughes
Could Hughes be the man to bring the glory days back to the Potteries? The former Wales and Manchester United striker had five good years at Stoke City but his coaching career has seen him working in League Two rather than the Championship of late.
-
Steve Cooper
Having been sacked by both Nottingham Forest and Leicester City, like O'Neil it might need to be a Championship move next up for Cooper.
Winner of the Under-17 World Cup with England at the start of his coaching career, Cooper needs the right club to rebuild his reputation.
-
Ryan Shawcross
Former captain Shawcross has had two stints in charge on a caretaker basis and should a short-term boss be needed he would be the obvious choice. Shawcross played more than 450 times for the club and would be a popular pick with fans.
-
Charlie Adam
Another ex-Stoke player likely to be in the running is Adam, who is now on the coaching staff of Everton having lasted less than a year in his first managerial post with Fleetwood Town.
That spell did not point to Adam becoming a top manager, but a return to one of the clubs the Scotland midfielder knows best could be the right step for his coaching career.
-
Michael Beale
Former Sunderland boss Beale saw his reputation take a huge hit as a result of a very difficult time at the Stadium of Light, but he previously performed well in the Championship at QPR.
Beale, who was appointed assistant coach to Steven Gerrard at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq in 2024, needs to make a smart next move or his coaching career may be over.
