Former Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips has emerged as the new favourite for the Cambridge United job, according to BetVictor.

The 51-year-old assisted Gary Bowyer at the Tangerines, before taking the top job once the former Bradford boss left.

He resigned from the post in the summer of 2019 after one season in charge, saying he never "had any intention" of becoming a manager.

He is currently priced at 2/1 to replace Colin Calderwood at the Abbey Stadium.

Next up is Ian Evatt, whose Barrow AFC side pulled seven points clear at the top of the National League following their 2-1 win against Torquay at the weekend.

Next Cambridge United head coach/manager odds Terry McPhillips - 2/1 Ian Evatt - 4/1 John Taylor - 5/1 Mark Bonner - 5/1 Paul Tisdale - 10/1 Michael Jolley - 14/1 Kevin Nolan - 16/1 Steven Pressley - 25/1 Nathan Jones - 25/1 Kevin Bond - 33/1 Neil Warnock - 33/1 Tim Flowers - 33/1 Daryl McMahon- 33/1

The 38-year-old emerged as the front runner last week, and remains second in the list, but has fallen to 4/1.

Current interim boss Mark Bonner and coach John Taylor are both level at 5/1, while former favourites Paul Tisdale and Michael Jolley have slipped to 14/1 and 16/1, respectively.

Former Notts County boss Kevin Nolan is the only other name with reasonable odds at 16,1, while the likes of Steven Pressley, Nathan Jones, Neil Warnock and Tim Flowers have all fallen down the list.
