Hughton heads market to be Trap's replacement

Giovanni Trapattoni spoke about building for the future after his Ireland side were eliminated with no points at Euro 2012 but there are some who believe he should be replaced and Paddy Power make Chris Hughton 4-1 favourite to replace the Italian veteran.

Hughton has been around the Irish set up previously and has earned a fair reputation in club management at Newcastle and Birmingham before replacing Paul Lambert, who departed for Aston Villa.

Marco Tardelli is next in the betting at 5-1, while others who are prominent include Brian McDermott, Liam Brady and David O'Leary. Previous boss Mick MCarthy is 20-1 to return to the hotseat and Harry Redknapp can be backed at 40-1.
