Following the news that Nigel Person has departed Championship side Leicester City , Sky Bet make the current Swansea City boss Paulo Sousa the 3/1 favourite to take over at the Walkers Stadium.

Former West Brom and Celtic manager Tony Mowbray, who is currently out of work, is 7/2 while Iain Dowie, who recently departed Hull City following their relegation to the Championship, is the 10/1 joint-third favourite alongside Gareth Southgate and Micky Adams.  

Phil Brown, who is a proven manager at Championship level having guided Hull City into the Premier League, is 12/1 along with Sean O'Driscoll and Chris Coleman.

Sky Bet’s football betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “Paulo Sousa has been linked with a number of jobs over the past few months and following his success with Swansea last season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Milan Mandaric put his hand in his pocket and come calling for the Portuguese services.”
