Tottenham Hotspur are currently in a tough spot following a series of disappointing results, putting manager Thomas Frank under increasing pressure.
The Danish coach took over from Ange Postecoglou during the summer after leaving Brentford following Spurs’ Europa League victory. While Frank’s tenure started promisingly, recent struggles, including heavy losses to London rivals Chelsea, Arsenal, Fulham, and West Ham, have led to growing frustration among fans. These defeats have sparked speculation about his future, prompting GIVEMESPORT and Sports Casting to explore potential candidates to replace him, should the board decide a change is necessary.
Outsider Candidates:
While Frank’s job isn’t thought to be in immediate jeopardy, several names are already being linked with the role. Some notable outsiders include:
Ange Postecoglou (18/1), who led Spurs to the Europa League title in 2024/25, could make a return to the club after being sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier this season.
Michael Carrick (16/1), the interim manager of Manchester United, alongside Robbie Keane (16/1), Roberto De Zerbi (16/1), and others with Premier League experience, like Eddie Howe (16/1), are also potential contenders.
Unai Emery (12/1) from Aston Villa, Xabi Alonso (10/1), and Andoni Iraola (10/1) are among the other names being considered.
Other Contenders:
Marco Silva (9/1) could be another option, given his Premier League experience and a possible contract issue at Fulham.
Ryan Mason (9/1), a former Spurs player and interim manager, may be a low-risk choice if the club opts for a quick decision.
Mauricio Pochettino (8/1), who previously enjoyed success with Spurs, could return, although it seems unlikely given his current role with the USMNT.
Enzo Maresca (4/1), who recently left Chelsea, and Oliver Glasner (3/1), currently managing Crystal Palace, are also considered strong candidates.
The list of potential replacements highlights the uncertainty surrounding Frank’s position, with multiple high-profile names under consideration as Spurs weigh their options.
