Next Dublin football manager odds: Bookies deem Dessie Farrell the man to succeed Jim Gavin

Dessie Farrell has been installed as the favourite to succeed Jim Gavin as the Dublin senior football manager.

The 48-year-old announced that he was stepping down from the role on Saturday morning after leading his county to a historic five consecutive All-Ireland titles.

And Paddy Power make Farrell as odds-on to try to fill the big shoes.

Farrell has guided Dublin to All-Ireland titles at minor and U-21 level and was in charge of Na Fianna this year.

The former chief executive and founder member of the GPA won an All-Star as a player and was an integral part of Dublin's 1995 All-Ireland win.

Next in Paddy Power's betting is Dublin coach and Gavin's former teammate Paul Clarke who has in recent seasons taken charge of the senior team during the O'Byrne Cup.

Jason Sherlock, who has also been on Gavin's coaching ticket, is also set to be in the running, while it is 14/1 for Jim McGuinness - the only manager to get the better of Gavin in a Championship game - to take over at the capital.
