Swansea City next manager: Cameron Toshack favourite to replace Graham Potter as Birmingham City's Garry Monk attracts support

Punters are piling on Cameron Toshack to be the next Swansea City manager.

Bookmakers have slashed the odds on the club's under-23 coach to replace Graham Potter at the Liberty Stadium.

Toshack was a rank outsider at the start of the weekend - his father John was actually shorter in the betting - but following a flurry of bets he is now as short as 15-8. You can follow live updates here .

Former boss Garry Monk is another to have attracted support in the past 24 hours. He was an 18-1 chance on Sunday, but is now the 6-1 second favourite behind Toshack.

Other names in the frame include Potter's current assistant Billy Reid and Leon Britton - but Reid has just been announced as a member of Potter's backroom staff at the Amex.

Paddy Power spokesman Lee Price said: "The traders have  reported a huge surge of interest in Cameron Toshack, who wasn’t in our betting barely 24 hours ago, and is now the favourite.

"More than two thirds of all bets on the market - and it’s been an active one - have come for the romantic return of a Toshack to the Swansea hot-seat.

"Garry Monk has been the second most popular selection, seeing his odds fall from 18/1 to 6/1 in the space of a day, but the traders are less panicked by that move than the Toshack one."

Potter will leave the Liberty Stadium after just one season, replacing previous Seagulls boss Chris Hughton, who was sacked last Monday.
