Steven Gerrard Favourite to be New Sheffield Wednesday Manager
Sheffield Wednesday are on the hunt for a new manager following Darren Moore’s surprise exit from the club. The Owls, who recently won promotion back to the Championship, are currently looking for a new boss to lead them into the new season. Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has emerged as the early favourite to take over at Hillsborough, with odds of 6/4 with talkSPORT BET.
Gerrard has been without a managerial job since he was sacked as manager of Aston Villa in October last year. However, the 43-year-old enjoyed success in his first managerial role at Rangers, delivering the club their first league title in 10 years when he lifted the trophy in 2021. The former Aston Villa boss is now being tipped to take over at Sheffield Wednesday and lead them to success in the Championship.
Former Owls Manager Carlos Carvalhal Also in the Running
Second on the list of potential candidates is former Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal, who is currently at odds of 2/1. The Portuguese manager took the club to two Championship play-off finals in three years, and even had a stint in the Premier League as manager of Swansea for the second half of the 2017-18 season. Carvalhal’s compatriot Vitor Campelos is also on the shortlist at 5/2 to take over at Hillsborough.
Other Potential Candidates
Current Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht is also in the running at 4/1, just ahead of former Wolves manager Bruno Lage at 5/1. Former Southampton boss Nathan Jones is slightly further behind at 8/1. Other potential candidates include Steve Cotterill, Michael Duff, Gary O’Neil, Giuseppe Lachini, and Dean Smith.
