One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Frank Lampard be the next head coach of the England national team? — the market puts it at 1%, with $50 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Frank Lampard is appointed as the next permanent head coach of the England men's soccer team before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if someone else takes the role or if no permanent coach is named by that deadline. Readers often mistake interim appointments for permanent ones, but only a confirmed permanent manager triggers the Yes outcome.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
