Former Aston Villa manager Martin O' Neill is currently the favourite to succeed Mark Hughes as manager of Stoke City.

Hughes was relieved off his duties as Potters manager after the club fell to a shock 2-1 loss against Coventry City in the FA Cup on Saturday.

O'Neill is the 6/4 favourite to become new manager of Stoke while the likes of Derby County boss Gary Rowett in second position and Ryan Giggs, Slaven Bilic and Ronald Koeman also in contention.

Should O'Neill become the new manager of Stoke, he will be making his return to the Premier League for the first time since March 2013 when he was sacked by Sunderland.
