Our guide to the next Chelsea manager odds examines the leading candidates to replace Liam Rosenior and the latest prices in the betting market. Chelsea are on the hunt for a new head coach after Liam Rosenior paid the price for five consecutive Premier League defeats.
The Blues have stated that an appointment will not come until the summer, with first-team coach and former under-21s boss Calum McFarlane handed the reins until the end of the campaign. That leaves plenty of time for speculation, but here are the early front-runners to fill the Stamford Bridge hotseat ahead of next term.
Here, BOYLE Sports looks at the top candidates to become the next permanent Chelsea manager.

Next Chelsea Manager Betting Favourites
Andoni Iraola
Andoni Iraola
The current betting favourite to be the next Chelsea manager is Andoni Iraola at odds of 7/4 in the betting. The 43-year-old Spaniard 's stock has soared during a successful stint with Bournemouth , guiding the Cherries to a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and pushing for an even better position this term, despite the departure of key players.
It has already been confirmed that Iraola will leave Vitality Stadium this summer and is open to a fresh challenge, so everything is in place for a smooth transition to Stamford Bridge .
Cesc Fabregas
Cesc Fabregas
Another name heavily fancied for the Chelsea job is Cesc Fabregas , who is an interesting proposition at 4/1 given his connections to the club. The former Spain midfielder won two Premier League titles as a player with the Blues , as well as both domestic cups and the Europa League .
The 38-year-old's coaching experience is extremely limited for a job of this size, but what he has done in two seasons with Como has been hugely encouraging.
Filipe Luis
Filipe Luis
Filipe Luis is another former Blue who had tireless energy and great tactical awareness as a full-back during a stellar career on the pitch, so it was not a surprise to see him make a successful switch to the dugout with Flamengo , notably claiming a Copa Libertadores triumph.
Marco Silva
Marco Silva
The second favourite to land the Chelsea job is Marco Silva , who is currently priced up at odds of 4/1. The 48-year-old Portuguese probably wouldn't be regarded as the sexiest choice by Chelsea supporters but the club's board could see him as a solid pick capable of steadying the ship.
Relatively brief spells at Hull , Watford and Everton don't back up that view but Silva has done a fine job at Fulham since joining them in 2021 and is well respected within the game.
Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard
Lampard 's two previous tenures as Chelsea boss ended in tears but will he get the chance to make it third time lucky after being sent to Coventry to rebuild his reputation?
The club legend won three Premier League titles, the Champions League , the Europa League , four FA Cups and two League Cups , so he is still in credit at Stamford Bridge .
Edin Terzic
Edin Terzic
This would be a bit of a wildcard but the 43-year-old German did lead Borussia Dortmund to a Champions League final and has experience of coaching in England as assistant to Slaven Bilic at West Ham .
Oliver Glasner
Oliver Glasner
Oliver Glasner boasts a similar profile to Iraola in that he has proven Premier League experience following a fine spell at Crystal Palace that will come to an amicable end this summer, although a few temperament issues have arisen during the current campaign that could raise red flags.
Diego Simeone
Diego Simeone
The 55-year-old Argentinian has been in charge of Atletico Madrid since December 2011, securing two La Liga titles and reaching a couple of Champions League finals. Simeone 's teams play with passion and a dogged determination that makes them hard to beat, but prizing him away from the Spanish capital would take some doing.
