VC Bet have Scotland Manager George Burley as they favourite out of the five home nations Managers to be sacked first with the new season fast approaching. Burley is under some pressure following an average start to their World Cup qualifying campaign and now need a big turnaround to make South Africa 2010. The International Managers Betting highlights this fact and VC Bet have the Scot as odds on to be the first of the British and Irish managers to leave their post.

Next up in the betting is Nigel Worthington who is trying to lead his Northern Ireland side to a Major Championship for the first time in his reign. They have performed well in their campaign and it is difficult to see Worthington getting the sack but he may well walk away if they fail to qualify and Worthington is currently priced at 11/4.

The other home Managers seem reasonably secure for now with Fabio Capello the outsider following England’s great start to the qualifying campaign and VC Bet reckon he is staying put for the time being at least. John Toshack is an interesting bet as the Welsh team look set to miss out yet again on qualification and VC Bet are giving some attractive odds on the Welshman being the next home International Manager to be sacked.
