Betting on the next Ireland manager has heated up today with Giovanni Trapattoni heavily backed for the job, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchinson said: “We started getting enquiries about the former Italian national team boss at around midday and quoted an initial price of 12/1. He was backed in to 5/2 second favourite by the evening after we laid over £5,000 at a number of prices in between.
We took over 100 bets on Trapattoni through the course of the day and it will be very interesting to see if there is anything in it.”
