Shock Tottenham Hotspur Manager Shake-Up Imminent: Is Thomas Frank the Unexpected Front-Runner?

Tottenham Hotspur’s managerial chair seems to be heating up as whispers of Thomas Frank’s imminent departure grow louder by the day. It’s been a rather dull half-year under the Dane’s stewardship, with evident stagnation casting shadows over North London. Industry insider David Ornstein recently dropped a bombshell on NBC Sports, asserting that Frank’s exit is less a question of if but rather when — a notion capturing the pulse of the club’s turbulent atmosphere. While Frank prepares for the forthcoming showdown against Borussia Dortmund, the uncertainty circling his tenure is palpable. As the Spurs faithful and pundits alike speculate on who might take the reins next, the array of potential successors only adds layers to this unfolding drama. LEARN MORE

Tottenham Hotspur may soon be looking for their next manager, as an uneventful six months with Thomas Frank fizzles out.

Journalist David Ornstein revealed to NBC Sports recently that Frank losing his job in north London is a matter of “when and not if”.

The Danish coach has been given the club’s upcoming game against Borussia Dortmund, but beyond that his future is uncertain.

Tottenham Hotspur next manager odds

The recently-hired assistant coach, John Heitinga, is one of the names cropping up as a potential interim thanks to his plentiful experience in Premier League setups.

But with only a difficult spell at Ajax under his belt as the main man last year, he’s currently an unlikely candidate for the permanent gig.

So, too, however, is one of the current favourites, according to BetVictor, Robbie Keane.

The former Republic of Ireland international is currently managing Hungarian side Ferencvaros, after his first stint as a head coach with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and is a 3/1 shot along with LaLiga icons Xavi and Xabi Alonso.

Next up, at 4/1, is Mauricio Pochettino, who many feel should never have been sacked in the first place back in 2019 and, looking back, put together one of the best Spurs sides of a generation.

Premier League experience comes next in the odds rankings, with both Oliver Glasner and Ruben Amorim placed at 6/1 to rock up to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, potentially (or definitely, in the latter’s case) armed with a three-at-the-back system.

On the more eyebrow-raising end of the scale, Steven Gerrard, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Zinedine Zidane, Marco Rose, and Erik ten Hag all get a mention at 33/1.
