MANCHESTER, England, September 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Millwall boss Kenny Jackett is the favourite for the Welsh job after John Toshack stepped down after six years in charge.
"Punters think a Jackett is required for Wales and he fits all the criteria," said Betfred.com spokesman Mark Pearson.
"He was capped 31 times for Wales and he did a great job getting Millwall into the Championship via the play-offs and he's the best backed candidate so far."
Toshack has stepped down from his role with immediate effect and the Welsh FA will have to move quickly with next month's crucial double-header with Bulgaria and Switzerland.
Two candidates to already declare their interest in the job are former Fulham manager Coleman, who is 3/1, who is out of work after being sacked by Coventry City in May, and former Wales striker John Hartson, who has never managed but has completed the relevant UEFA Pro Licence qualification at 12/1.
Welsh youth guru Brian Flynn who is also 3/1 and would be a popular successor.
As would former Wales captain Ryan Giggs at 11/1 with Betfred.com, but the superstar winger is still playing in the Premier League with Manchester United, but is doing his coaching badges.
