Next Aston Villa manager: Odds plummet for Nigel Pearson to take Derby job

Bookies have taken a host of bets this afternoon for Aston Villa target Nigel Pearson to be named the new Derby County manager

Published

Pearson was 12/1 with SkyBet yesterday, but is now as short as 1/4 following a flurry of bets on the former Leicester manager.

That would leave Roberto Di Matteo as the hot favourite to take the Villa job.

He is currently available at 4/7.

Pearson is still 2/1 for the job with Hull City manager Steve Bruce 12/1
