9. Marco Silva (100/1)
Fulham have been superb since their promotion back to the top flight with Silva’s brave and front foot style of football complementing the players at his disposal. Photo: Paul Harding
10. Thomas Frank (100/1)
Frank has recently extended his stay at the Bees until the end of 2027, such is the faith the owners have in his abilities as manager. Frank and Brentford are a great fit right now and the Bees look very likely to avoid the drop and the dreaded second season syndrome. Photo: Clive Rose
11. Jurgen Klopp (50/1)
Liverpool had a slow start to the season and have not enjoyed a resurgence following the break for the World Cup as many had expected. The Reds are falling behind in the race for Champions League qualification, but Klopp’s job seems relatively secure for now. Photo: OLI SCARFF
12. Patrick Vieira (28/1)
Crystal Palace play some lovely football under Vieira and are in no danger of relegation this season. However, the fans will want to see progress after a good first season in the dugout. Photo: Henry Browne
