Big odds shift in next Arsenal manager betting

The odds of Patrick Vieira replacing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal have been dramatically cut by Ladbrokes.

Vieria is now just 13/2 to take over, having been 33/1 less than a month ago.

The former Gunners skipper is by far the most notable market mover in recent weeks, despite rumours suggesting Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim was Arsenal's top target.

Jardim's odds have been cut from 12/1 to just 5/1, while Max Allegri remains the 9/2 favourite for the post.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "This could be huge news for Gooners who want to see some kind of change at the Emirates this summer.

"We had Vieira down as a rank outsider less than a month ago, but the odds are telling a completely different story this afternoon."
