MK Dons boss Russell Martin is the new favourite for the Swansea City manager's job, replacing former England captain John Terry at the head of the betting.
Terry was cut into 1/10 favouritism on Tuesday after leaving his role as Aston Villa assistant and publicly stating that it was with the desire to now step up to become a manager himself.
Swansea, who were beaten in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final by Brentford in May, parted company with Steve Cooper in July.

- Jody Morris - 2/1
- John Terry - 7/1
- Cameron Toshack - 22/1

They now appear to have turned their attentions to Martin, who oversaw a superb second half to the season at MK Dons last term, with the club threatening a late-season play-off push before falling away to ultimately finish 13th.
He has been widely praised for his brand of possession-based, attacking football, and it is that it is understood to have caught the eye of the Swansea board as they look to secure a return to the Premier League at the fourth time of asking.
