Benitez 5/4 to be Liverpool manager next season

Rafa Benitez was at a loss to explain Liverpool’s dismal display in their 1-0 defeat to Wigan on Monday and Sky Bet now make the Spaniard an odds-on chance to leave Anfield by the start of next season.

After the Reds missed the chance to go fourth, the patience of the Anfield faithful may not last much longer and Sky Bet make Benitez 4/7 to leave the club before August 14 (5/4 still to be manager).

Sixth-placed Liverpool lie a point behind both Manchester City and Tottenham, who both have games in hand, and their odds of securing a Champions League berth are out to 11/4, while City have been cut to 5/4 (from 6/4) for a top-four finish and Spurs to 3/1 (from 100/30).

Sky Bet have also slashed Benitez’s odds of being the next Premier League manager to leave his post to 12/1 (from 20/1), while Roberto Martinez, whose side moved four points clear of the relegation zone with the win and are out to 7/1 for the drop, is a 10/1 chance to be the next manager out.
