Next Tottenham Manager Odds: Potter Favourite As Pressure Mounts On Postecoglou
© PA

Tottenham lost their seventh Premier League game of the season at the weekend and betting sites are looking at potential candidates to replace manager Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs lost from two goals up for the second time in the current campaign in a 4-3 home defeat by London rivals Chelsea and remain in the bottom half of the table. 

The north Londoners have taken just one point from three games since they dismantled Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad and fans are starting to become increasingly frustrated.

Postecoglou confronted disgruntled supporters after a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth and the mood will not have improved following their capitulation against the Blues.

The Australian described the loss to Chelsea as "painful", adding that the needless penalties they gave away were "poor" and borne out of "desperation" to turn the club's fortunes around.

Will Postecoglou still be around to help stop the rot? 

We check out the best football betting sites to examine potential replacements should chairman Daniel Levy decide to wield the axe.

Potter Still Heads Market

Former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter is still waiting for the right opportunity to get back into management. 

Out of work for 20 months, Potter has taken plenty of time to reset since leaving Stamford Bridge in April 2023.

Potter was mooted as the perfect candidate for Spurs before Postecoglou arrived. But should Ange-ball continue to deliver mixed results, he is currently 4/1 to land the role at the second time of asking.

De Zerbi Waiting In The Wings

Roberto De Zerbi remains a manager on the wish lists of many top clubs. 

His style of play would appeal to the Tottenham faithful, while the Italian would relish the opportunity to test himself at a higher level.

De Zerbi left Brighton at the end of last season before taking up the managerial reigns at Marseille, so if Spurs decide to call time on Ange, they will have to lure him back from France.

Marseille are second in the Ligue 1 table on the back of their incredible away record which has yielded seven wins from eight games, although they have won at home just twice in six outings.

Betting apps currently offer a price of 8/1 for De Zerbi to return to the Premier League by replacing Postecoglou.

Silva Thriving In West London

Fulham remain in the top half of the table following last week's 3-1 win against Brighton and 1-1 draw with title contenders Arsenal.

Their impressive start to the season was marred by a 4-1 home defeat by lowly Wolves, but Marco Silva has assembled a solid squad that now includes Emile Smith Rowe, who joined the club from Gunners in the summer. 

Silva had developed a reputation for changing clubs regularly, having five jobs in five and a half years between taking charge of Sporting Lisbon and leaving Everton in 2019. 

However, he seems to have finally found stability and a home in west London, recently reaching the milestone of 150 matches in charge at Fulham, but is currently 8/1 to make the switch across the capital to become the new Spurs boss.

McKenna Enters The Picture

Kieran McKenna has won just one of his 15 Premier League games in charge of Ipswich - and that came at Tottenham!

It should not be forgotten that McKenna led the Tractor Boys to the top flight with back-to-back promotions and it was not long ago he was linked with the Manchester United vacancy.  

The Northern Irishman is regarded as a shrewd tactician and with better players at his disposal, he could make an impact.

McKenna is also 8/1 in the next Tottenham manager odds.

Howe In The Running

Eddie Howe has been linked with Tottenham in the past, but it is arguable whether or not that would represent a step up from Newcastle these days. 

Howe appears committed to Newcastle, but at the weekend he admitted the club may have to sell some of their star players in January to comply with profit and sustainability rules.

A four-game winless run has seen the Magpies drop into the lower half of the Premier League table, so Howe will not want to lose the likes of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes. 

Howe was 12/1 for the Spurs job in November, but those odds have since been cut to 8/1.

Frank Would Appeal To Spurs Fans

Thomas Frank's reputation continues to grow and if Brentford could start picking up points on the road they would be genuine contenders for a Champions League spot.

The Bees defeated Newcastle 4-2 at the weekend to remain unbeaten at home with seven wins from eight games - the best record in the Premier League. 

Only Chelsea have scored more goals than Brentford's 31 this season, making them one of the most entertaining teams in the top flight.

That will appeal to Spurs fans, who love exciting, attacking football, although the fact they concede almost as many as they score would be a concern for the Spurs hierarchy.

Frank had been linked with the Manchester United vacancy filled by Ruben Amorim and has spoken in the past about the possibility of a new challenge. 

For now, though, he loves it in west London and is 12/1 to move to the north of the capital.

Mourinho The Man Again?

Jose Mourinho has made it clear he has unfinished business with the Premier League and it might not be too long before he gets a call to return.

The Portuguese has experience of managing in the league having won the title with Chelsea, before less successful stints with Manchester United, Tottenham and a return to Stamford Bridge.

His press conferences after Fenerbahce matches have been good value recently, but it might not be too long before he is managing in another country. 

Mourinho is a serial winner, but his style of play does not go down well with supporters of his teams and he has struggled to pick up wins in high-profile matches in Turkey.

That said, he is 12/1 to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Nagelsmann Unlikely To Land Job

Julian Nagelsmann (12/1) has his sights on taking Germany to the 2026 World Cup, so he will not be available any time soon. 

However, former England head coach Gareth Southgate is out of work and is the same price, although he has previously stated he wanted to take a year out of management to recharge his batteries.

West Ham's beleagured manager Julen Lopetegui is 14/1 to land the job, the same odds as Aston Villa's successful boss Unai Emery.
