Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[Bohinen]

It was a BT engineer last time. Have any bus drivers' names been mentioned?

Glen Riddersholm is in the betting at 33/1, could be him.

[Glad2BeAPie]

Let's throw Ronnie Pickering into the frame, he'd put some fight into the players

Brian Priske now 5/4 favourite. Would be mental.

2/5 now, I think that's the shortest odds I've seen of any candidate

Is everybody F5/refreshing this site for news? It's painfully slow and keeps crashing.

Thought he was in talks with Rangers? Not much chance of the happening, IMHAHO...

Never going to happen surely.

2/5 now. I got a severe telling off for suggesting this was even possible about 2 weeks ago. But it has to be 1/12 on before we take any notice, them's the rules.

Appears to be out of the running for that now. Got to be no chance of coming to us, but someones putting money on it. Interestingly Jack Wilshere is now 1/2 hot favourite for the Plymouth job.

Quite an interesting read on Wikipedia

Managerial career
Midtjylland
Priske served as assistant of Midtjylland and Copenhagen from 2011 to 2019. When Kenneth Andersen resigned as manager of Midtjylland on 19 August 2019, Priske succeeded him. At first, he was a caretaker manager for eleven games, until he got promoted to a head coach. In his first campaign as a head coach in the 2019–20 season, Priske and Midtjylland won the Danish Championship 14 points ahead of second place Copenhagen, despite only having half of their budget. By winning the championship, Priske and Midtjylland had to play three rounds of UEFA Champions League qualification matches to get to the Champions league group stages. They beat Ludogorets 1–0, Young Boys 3–0 and then on 30 September 2020 they beat Slavia Prague 4–1.

Royal Antwerp
On 29 May 2021, Priske signed a new contract for two seasons with Royal Antwerp.[4][5]

Sparta Prague
On 31 May 2022, Priske was named the new head coach of Sparta Prague.[6] On 23 May 2023, Sparta Prague drew 0–0 with Slov?cko to clinch their first Czech First League title in nine years. They also reached the final of the Czech cup that season.[7] Priske became the first foreign manager to win the Czech league (excluding Slovaks Jozef Jarabinsk? and Jozef Chovanec).[8] He was chosen as manager of the 2022–23 season by the League Football Association (LFA).[9]

On 20 October 2023, Priske extended his contract with Sparta Prague until 2026.[10] On 14 December 2023, Priske and AC Sparta Prague qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League after beating Aris Limassol 3–1 and finishing second in a group also featuring Real Betis and Rangers.[11] After advancing past Galatasaray in the knockout stages (6–4 on aggregate),[12] they were knocked out by Liverpool in the Round of 16 (2–11 on aggregate).[13] On 18 May 2024, Sparta Prague won 5–0 at Mlad? Boleslav to clinch the Czech First League title for the second time in two years.[14] Sparta also won Czech Cup.[15] Priske was chosen as the manager of the 2023–24 season by League Football Association (LFA).[16]

Feyenoord
On 12 June 2024, Dutch club Feyenoord announced that it had signed Priske as the club's new head coach on a three-year contract.[17] In Priske's first official game as Feyenoord head coach on 4 August 2024, Feyenoord beat PSV Eindhoven on penalties after a 4–4 draw to win the Johan Cruyff Shield. Priske initially implemented a 3–4–3 formation, but changed that to a 4–3–3 formation after criticism and a 1–1 draw in the first league game against promoted side Willem II.[18] However, in September 2024, Feyenoord continued to drop points and suffered a 0–4 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League. In October 2024, Feyenoord won away games against Girona and Benfica in the Champions League and beat Twente, Go Ahead Eagles and Utrecht in the Eredivisie, before losing De Klassieker to Ajax. In the remainder of 2024, Feyenoord won five of their seven games in the Eredivisie and came back from 3–0 down to draw 3–3 against Manchester City and beat Priske's former club Sparta Prague in the Champions League. After Feyenoord started 2025 with a defeat against Utrecht and a draw against Willem II, there were rumours Priske would leave the club after the home game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. However, after Feyenoord won that game 3–0 to qualify for the knockout phase, he remained Feyenoord's head coach.[19] In the following weeks, Feyenoord suffered their largest-ever Champions League defeat against Lille (6–1), lost away to Ajax in the Eredivisie and were knocked out in the KNVB Cup quarter-finals by PSV Eindhoven. On 10 February 2025, two days after a 3–0 win in the Rotterdam derby against Sparta Rotterdam, Priske was sacked as head coach following "inconsistent results and a lack progress".[20]

Recent Developments
Brian Priske has recently been linked to various clubs, including Rangers F.C.. However he is expected to head further south in the UK and sign for Sky Bet League Two side Notts County F.C.. Due to a fantastic relationship with the Notts County owners, Priske has accepted the project of guiding the club into the Championship, with the understanding that, if successful, he may attract attention from Premier League clubs.[21]

At this stage, I am massively sceptical, but that appointment would certainly be a statement of intent.

Is it literally people just putting a fiver on it though? Wasn?t Alves similar odds and that?s never going to happen.
I don?t know anything about him but clearly has an extremely good CV, you imagine he?d be aiming at the championship at least.

Rangers are getting ancelotti son.
I can?t stand believe the Priske betting tbh as last home game of the season there was a Danish manager present in the Pavis stand. coincidence?
