Mark Hudson favourite to take charge of struggling Huddersfield

Mark Hudson is the 9-4 favourite for the Huddersfield job after David Wagner left his post by mutual consent on Monday.

The Huddersfield U23s boss leads a market which features Carlos Carvalhal (6-1), Sam Allardyce (10-1) and former Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic (12-1).

The Terriers are eight points from safety and are as short as 1-16 for the drop and 10-1 to stay up.

Huddersfield's next game is a daunting home fixture with champions Manchester City and the club are to announce Wagner's replacement after the match on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest have appointed club legend Martin O'Neill as their new manager after Aitor Karanka departed after just a year in the position.

Forest are ninth in the Sky Bet Championship and have shortened to 10-1 for promotion to the Premier League this season following the appointment.
