There has been a major shake-up in the market when looking at who will be the next Wolves manager - with previous favourite Rui Borges blowing out to a 10/1 outsider with Sky Bet.
As a result, Borges - who opened as a 3/1 favourite when the market opened earlier this week - is now a sizeable fourth-favourite to make the move to Molineux Stadium.
Working our way up the shortest-priced candidates, it is Robbie Keane who is currently the third-favourite - with the Irishman priced at 11/2.
Keane has been managing in the Hungarian top-flight in 2025 - with his side Ferencvaros winning the title in his debut season in charge.

Additionally, he's followed up that success with a solid start to this season, with Ferencvaros currently sitting in the top four and just three points adrift of the league leaders.
Meanwhile, the second best-backed in the market at 5/1 is former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
After a tough tenure at Manchester United - in which the club was plagued with inconsistency - the Dutchman was jettisoned after nearly two and a half years in the role.
He was ultimately let go in October, 2024 - before securing a new managerial position at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
There was plenty of pressure on Ten Hag to deliver in Germany - with Leverkusen experiencing enormous success under his predecessor Xabi Alonso.
That wasn't to be the case however - with Ten Hag sacked after just three games in charge.
Lastly, the overall favourite to be the next permanent Wolves manager is current Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards.
At the time of writing - Edwards is garnering short odds of 17/20 according to Sky Bet.
Edwards has Premier League experience under his belt - with the Englishman having guided Luton Town to the English top-flight in 2022.
He would eventually be sacked from the club three years later after a horrid run of form that saw the Hatters sitting 20th in the Championship.
However - Edwards wouldn't have to wait long before securing another job - and it has been a move that has been nothing short of successful.
After a perfect start to the season with Middlesbrough, in which they won their first four games and conceded just one goal - Edwards was named EFL Championship Manager of the Month for August.
His side has remained steady since their incredible start - with the North East club currently sitting third in the table and just five points adrift of league leaders Coventry.
Could Edwards be the man to help Wolves avoid relegation? We will have to wait to find out.
Sky Bet favourites to be the next Wolves manager:
Rob Edwards 17/20
Erik ten Hag 5/1
Robbie Keane 11/2
Rui Borges 10/1
Brendan Rodgers 12/1
