Roberto Mancini’s brief reign as the bookies’ favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave has come to a profitable end for the Italian, with the Sky Blues’ boss penning a new five-season, £7.5m-per-year contract with the club yesterday.

The VIP Gambler reported yesterday how Mancini’s odds to leave the Etihad had tumbled from 66/1 last week to as short as 3/1 yesterday with BetVictor amid speculation he was about to take charge of the Russian national team.

But since it was announced the former Inter Milan boss had signed a new deal with City last night, Mancini’s odds have drifted and he is now as high as 33/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave.

Mancini’s drift means West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has regained top spot in the market at 5/1 closely followed by new West Brom boss Steve Clarke at sevens.

Next Premier League manager to leave (BetVictor):

Sam Allardyce 5/1

Steve Clarke 7/1

Roberto Di Matteo 10/1

Nigel Adkins 12/1

Mark Hughes 12/1
