Next Arsenal manager odds: Who is in line to replace Mikel Arteta as Arsenal manager?
Having been eliminated from the Champions League recently, adding to no Premier League title or domestic honour this season, Arsenal are staring at another trophyless campaign with pressure mounting on manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners have been seen as Liverpool’s nearest challengers for the Premier League but are now looking nervously over their shoulder, as they aim to qualify for next season’s Champions League by hanging on to a top four finish in England’s top flight.

Having spent over £650 million during his six-year stint in the Emirates hotseat, with only an FA Cup and two Community Shields to show for it, tension is beginning to build with the 43-year-old’s reign being brought into question.
So who could replace Mikel Arteta as the next Arsenal manager, according to BetVictor?
Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi (5/1) is considered the favourite, but the 49-year-old hasn’t managed outside his native Italy. The former Lazio boss won the Scudetto with Inter last season, aiming to retain the title, and has reached a second Champions League final in three years with the Nerazzurri.
Massimiliano Allegri is second favourite (6/1) and, just like his compatriot Inzaghi, hasn’t managed outside Italy before. Having most recently managed Juventus, he led the Old Lady to five Serie A titles in a row and also won the league whilst at the San Siro as Milan manager.
The links to Italian managers continue in BetVictor’s market with Antonio Conte (8/1) the third favourite. Unlike the aforementioned gaffers, he has managed in England but with London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur which may seem strange.
Conte’s Napoli are two matches away from a Scudetto, currently top of Serie A, but managing rivals is something that doesn’t faze him having previously managed both Juventus and Inter Milan alongside the Italian national team.
Diego Simeone (10/1) is the second-longest serving manager in Europe’s top five leagues, having turned Atletico Madrid into a competitor for La Liga - aiming to break the Real Madrid and Barcelona duopoly - as well as guiding Atleti to two Champions League finals.
Could he finally be tempted to leave Madrid for London after 14 years in charge of the Rojiblancos?
Unai Emery (12/1) was the man that Arteta succeeded in charge of the Gunners, but a move for the Aston Villa gaffer seems unlikely given he preceded the current manager.
Other Premier League bosses Marco Silva of Fulham (12/1) and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola (12/1) are deemed as likely to take charge at the Emirates Stadium.
Zinedine Zidane and Xavi Hernandez, last at Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, can be backed at the same price (12/1) to succeed the Spaniard in north London.
Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira and Oliver Glasner are both a higher price, but Genoa and Crystal Palace would be seeking appropriate compensation respectively. Edin Terzic, most recently in charge of Borussia Dortmund, can also be found at the same price.
But, considering Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to become the Brazil manager, the fact he’s identical odds (14/1) to those three means that the likelihood of any of those managers getting the Gunners job is slim.
