Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes is now said to be the actual favourite Championship gaffer to be sacked next, according to SportsCasting. But which boss is apparently his likely replacement? And is it plausible that the former Queens Park Rangers head coach will be relieved of duty at King Power Stadium considering their various problems?

Not to mention the fact that form was worse at a few different points of the season than right now. Did the East Midlands organisation miss the appropriate window in order to get rid of the Catalonian? Alternatively, will the financial restraint and possible restrictive nature dictate just who is indeed in the Foxes dugout?

Is Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes really the next person expected to be sacked from his English Football League Championship role?

First of all, the information in this piece has come from SportsCasting traders, which is a digital media company. Their focus is regularly the betting markets for multiple sports and divisions. Though not a betting firm, they aggregate metrics and offer betting tips on the EFL and a wide range of other activities.

Out of all the league's bosses, their 'Sack Race Odds' specify that Cifuentes is forecast to get the subsequent chop; the specific number is 5/4. The way that quoted figure was explained is like so: the most likely outcome, yet still under a 50 per cent chance of coming to fruition.

Incidentally, the successive contenders to leave their respective posts in descending order are as follows: Chris Davies (Birmingham City) 4/1, Valerien Ismael (Blackburn Rovers) 9/2, Henrik Pedersen (Sheffield Wednesday) 5/1 and, supposedly, Tonda Eckert (Southampton).

Which candidate is reportedly the likely successor on Filbert Way if we trust the bookmakers' expert eye?

With respect to six hypothetical replacements, the outlet's claim is below. This won't go down well with the Blue Army!:

Russell Martin 4/1, Robbie Keane 7/1, Lee Carsley 10/1, Kevin Muscat 12/1, Mark Robins 12/1, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 14/1.
