City 11-5 to reclaim title after Mancini is sacked
MANCHESTER CITY have been eased to 11-5 by BetVictor in the betting on next season's Premier League title after it was confirmed on Monday night that Roberto Mancini has been sacked as their manager. United are now 2-1 to retain the title while Chelsea, last winners in 2009-10, are 3-1 to capture it.
Mancini's assistant Brian Kidd will take charge of City - who need one more point this season to guarantee second spot behind Manchester United - for their remaining games at Reading (on Tuesday night) and at home to Norwich on Sunday. The Citizens are now out to 8-13 win at the Madejski as well as 4-11 to beat the Canaries.
At 1.30pm on Tuesday afternoon, Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini was 2-9 with bet365 to take over at the Etihad in the summer with Jose Mourinho available at 5-1 with Betfred and soon-to-be-departing Chelsea caretaker Rafa Benitez at 12-1 with Boylesports.
PSG chief Carlo Ancelotti, Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool gaffer Brendan Rodgers can all be backed at 33-1 in the next permanent Manchester City manager market.
City, beaten 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday by Wigan, had won the FA Cup two years ago and the Premier League last year under Mancini.
