Next Tottenham Manager Odds: Who Could Replace Under-Pressure Thomas Frank?
Thomas Frank's reign as Tottenham manager took another twist at the weekend as his side dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table with a 2-1 loss against London rivals Fulham.
The Dane criticised fans who booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for a poor clearance which led to the Cottagers' second goal in just the sixth minute.
Frank claimed those who jeered the Italian whenever he kicked the ball upfield "can't be true Tottenham fans", but the boos rang out loud and clear at half-time and full-time as Spurs crashed to a fourth home defeat in seven top-flight games.
The former Brentford boss is starting to feel the heat in north London and a market has opened on one of the betting sites about who could replace him if the Spurs board decide to wield the axe.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is the early favourite to succeed Frank if the job becomes available
The Austrian has done a fantastic job at Crystal Palace, but he recently revealed his unhappiness with the club's failure to invest in the squad over the summer, so could he be looking for a new role?

Palace Boss Favourite For Spurs Job
Glasner’s stock has never been higher after transforming Crystal Palace into FA Cup winners and delivering the club’s first-ever major trophy with a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley.
His track record of improving clubs – from LASK to Eintracht Frankfurt and now Palace – will appeal to a Spurs hierarchy looking for a coach who can get the club back to competing for honours.
And Glasner could be looking for a way out after launching a thinly-veiled attack on the club's summer recruitment failure after a 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United during which key midfielder Ismaila Sarr sustained an ankle injury which will rule him out "for a few games".
He told Match of the Day: "If you play European football for the first time in your history, you should invest and not save. I think January is too late. We will have played more than 50% of our games."
Betting apps make him their 5/1 favourite for the Tottenham job, but prising him away from Selhurst Park would likely require a sizeable compensation package.

Silva To Step In At Spurs?
Marco Silva has guided Fulham to the Championship title and re-established them as a competitive Premier League side after years of yo-yoing between the divisions.
The Portuguese coach, out of contract at Craven Cottage next year, has delivered attractive football while showing he can keep a squad organised enough to compete in the top flight.
With Fulham’s ownership keen to keep him but speculation over his long-term future refusing to go away, a move across London to a club with Champions League ambitions could be a tempting next step.
At 8/1 in the next Tottenham manager odds, Silva looks a live contender if Spurs decide they want a proven Premier League operator.
Iraola’s Rise Continues
Andoni Iraola has earned plenty of admirers for the job he has done at Bournemouth, where he has turned the Cherries into an awkward proposition for the division’s elite.
He led Bournemouth to a club-record 48 Premier League points and a 12th-place finish in 2023/24, earning himself a contract extension through to 2026 in the process.
Under the Spaniard, Bournemouth have shown they can compete with the big boys, recording some surprise wins over the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City.
Priced at 8/1 on football betting sites, he fits the profile of a modern, progressive coach who could quickly turn things around at Spurs with a relatively young squad.
De Zerbi Remains A Tempting Option
Roberto De Zerbi is another name that refuses to go away whenever a major job becomes available, and his current work at Marseille only strengthens that trend.
After leaving Brighton in 2024, having led the Seagulls to their highest-ever Premier League finish of sixth and a first season in Europe, he took over at the French club and has turned them into title challengers and Champions League performers.
De Zerbi’s sides are known for their brave, possession-based football and intricate build-up play – qualities that would sit well with the Tottenham fanbase.
Marseille have already publicly expressed their desire to keep him, but at 12/1, he remains a fascinating candidate to replace Frank if he is sacked.
Other Names In The Frame
Behind the leading quartet in the betting, there is no shortage of classy candidates.
Michael Carrick, currently out of work after a three-year stint in charge of Middlesbrough which ended in June, is a 12/1 shot and has a strong connection with Spurs, having played over 60 times for the club.
Xavi Hernandez (14/1) remains unattached since leaving Barcelona in 2024 and has repeatedly been linked with a move to the Premier League, while Brendan Rodgers – who is also in the running to be the next Leeds United manager – is 16/1.
Carlos Corberan, now in charge of Valencia after impressing at West Brom, and Igor Tudor, who left Juventus in October and is currently without a club, are both quoted at 16/1 and offer plenty of European experience.
Jurgen Klopp, currently overseeing Red Bull’s network of clubs, has insisted he is happy away from management, but can be backed at 16/1 to make a shock return to the dugout at Tottenham.
