Ex-Chelsea boss firm favourite to be next manager at Leeds United's Championship rivals

An ex-Chelsea boss is a firm favourite to be the next manager at one of Leeds United’s Championship rivals.

Bristol City sacked boss Nigel Pearson on the back of last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Cardiff City which left the Robins 15th in the Championship table following a run of five defeats from their last seven games. The Robins host troubled Sheffield Wednesday this weekend and former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is now long odds-on to be appointed as Pearson’s successor in the Ashton Gate hotseat. Lampard is as short as 1-4 with several firms, comfortably ahead of second favourite John Eustace who is a best priced 5-1.
