The next Bristol City manager odds market has seen plenty of movement in the last week. And there are two candidates in particular who are garnering the most attention.
After interim boss Roy Hodgson left Ashton Gate upon the conclusion of the 2025-26 EFL Championship season, the Robins are understood to be working hard behind the scenes to appoint a permanent successor to Gerhard Struber.
The Austrian was relieved of his duties at the end of March with City languishing in 16th position. However, Hodgson helped steady the ship and essentially saved the Reds bacon from being dragged into a relegation battle.
The evergreen 78-year-old registered 11 points from 21 and steered the club into the top-half. Now, the next Bristol City manager odds market has a number of candidates who are all considered strong contenders for the Ashton Gate gig.
Next Bristol City Manager Odds: John Mousinho Is The 4/7 Favourite
Various reports are suggesting that John Mousinho is in line to take the Bristol City job, BetVictor News can confirm. The current Portsmouth boss is the 4/7 favourite to land the role and it’s believed he has held positive talks with the Robins hierarchy.
Mousinho lead Pompey to the 2023-24 League One title and spent the vast majority of his playing career in the EFL. The 40-year-old is well versed with the rigors of England’s second tier and he is understood to be considering his next role having been at Fratton Park since 2023.
Michael Skubala Linked With Bristol City
Having stormed to the 2025-26 League One title in record-breaking fashion with Lincoln City, Michael Skubala can be backed at 5/4. The up-and-coming boss has added a number of strings to his impressive looking bow and many believe he will one day manage in the Premier League.
And if presented the chance, he has the potential to do so at Bristol City. Skubala is a 20/1 shot in the next Blackburn manager odds market, too. However, his well publicised release clause is understood to have been met, but the Imps remain confident he will stay and will oversee their 2026-27 Championship campaign.
Could Liam Rosenior Return To Bristol City?
For those looking for more value when it comes to Championship betting, Liam Rosenior is worth considering at 20/1. Despite his less-than-impressive spell at Chelsea, Rosenior is still held in high regard among EFL clubs.
Rosenior actually began his playing career with Bristol City in 2002 before moving on to Fulham a year later. As a manager, the 41-year-old had spells with Derby, Hull and Strasbourg before his ill-fated stint at Stamford Bridge.
