The Blades look set to go back down to the Championship next season, but they'll be hopeful of replicating Norwich City's immediate bounce back up to the top tier, if they're able to hang on to some key players and hit the ground running when the 2021/22 campaign gets underway in August.
A wide variety of managerial candidates have been linked with the job over the past few weeks, including the like of ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon, former Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe, and current interim manager Paul Heckingbottom, whose last full-time management gig was with Hibernian.
Here's our rundown of OddsChecker's latest predictions on who will become the next Sheffield United manager, ranked from lowest to highest chance of getting the job:
9. Eddie Howe
Current odds: 12/1. Current job: Unemployed. Career win percentage: 41.8%. He's been heavily linked with the Celtic job, and looks most likely to join the Hoops. Howe's been out of a job since his Bournemouth side were relegated last season. Photo: CLIVE BRUNSKILL
10. Jason Tindall
Current odds: 9/1. Current job: Sheffield United coach. Career win percentage: 41.9%. He was brought into the Blades' coaching staff following Wilder's exit, and his last managerial role was with Bournemouth. Photo: Naomi Baker
11. Slavisa Jokanovic
Current odds: 8/1. Current job: Al-Gharafa. Career win percentage: 52.9%. The former Fulham boss has been linked with the Blades job recently, and could look to replicate when he took the Cottagers up in 2018. Photo: Alex Livesey
12. Paul Heckingbottom
Current odds: 8/1. Current job: Sheffield United interim manager. Career win percentage: 33.8%. Third favourite for the job, but the odds are still pretty long. He could revert to his previous role with the U23s full-time instead. Photo: BEN STANSALL
