Carlos Carvalhal was the previous favourite, having led Wednesday between 2015 and 2017, twice reaching the Championship play-offs.

He was most recently head coach of Spanish side Celta Vigo, guiding them to La Liga safety within a final-day victory over Barcelona in June before leaving the following week.

Since departing South Yorkshire he has also taken charge of Swansea, who he failed to save from Premier League relegation, Rio Ave and Braga in his native Portugal and Abu Dhabi-based Al Wahda.

Former Wolves boss Bruno Lage, Carvalhal’s assistant during his time at Hillsborough, has drifted to the 5/1 third-favourite.
