No matter what happens in their previous job, it would seem that some managers are chosen based on reputation or availability rather than what they may have been able to achieve with the last club that they managed.
Indeed, there are a number of names that continually get linked with a vacant job when it becomes available, with the likes of Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew and even Alan Curbishley to an extent being touted on a regular basis (even if some of them have not been involved in the game for a few years).
Naturally, some of the names that are mentioned will always be considered to be amongst those that are favourites in the betting odds that are available for punters who look for the best sportsbooks available on betting-sites.ca for Canada users.
However, the next time that a bet is being placed, it might be wise to think about some of the names that are mentioned below. That is because the guys at OLBG have conducted some research and have found that there are some managers who storm ahead in the race for the number of clubs that they have managed.
Here is a breakdown of them:
- Claudio Ranieri (12 teams)
- Nigel Pearson (10 teams)
- Steve Coppell (9 teams)
- Neil Warnock (9 teams)
- Carlo Ancelotti (9 teams)
- Dave Bassett (9 teams)
- Mickey Adams (9 teams)
- Claude Puel (8 teams)
- Mark McGhee (8 teams)
- Rafa Benitez (8 teams)
- Tommy Docherty (8 teams)
- Joaquin Caparros (8 teams)
- Roy Hodgson (8 teams)
- David Pleat (7 teams)
- Tony Pulis (7 teams)
- Steve Bruce (7 teams)
- Jose Mourinho (7 teams)
- Alan Pardew (7 teams)
- Sam Allardyce (7 teams)
- Chris Hughton (7 teams)
Naturally, there are a few names on this list that are still employed and in work, although whether the likes of Ranieri, Pearson, Benitez and Mourinho remain in their current jobs for a lot longer looks unlikely, thus likely to see their numbers grow even further in the future.
Warnock was recently sacked, as was Bruce and their return to football management remains to be seen.
It would really seem that some football managers really do have “more clubs than Tiger Woods” and whilst it would seem really baffling to some to try and understand why they do continue to get a job, there must be a reason as to why they do.
