Dean Smith is the odds-on favourite to replace Gary Rowett as manager of Derby County.
The 47-year-old is currently manager of fellow Sky Bet Championship side Brentford, who came close to making the play-offs after an end-of-season surge up the table.
Midlands-born Smith has been in charge at Griffin Park since 2015, which followed four years at Walsall, and Sky Bet have priced him at 5/6 to take over at Pride Park.
The Rams, who missed out on promotion this season after losing to Fulham in the play-offs, are searching for a new manager after Rowett quit in order to take up the vacancy at Stoke City.

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill is also in the running at 3/1, while former Derby winger Paul Simpson, who guided England’s U20s to World Cup glory last year, can be backed at 5/1.
Alex Neil and Mick McCarthy faced Derby as managers in the second tier last season, and they are both 10/1 for the post.
