Bookmakers’ odds on the next torrential manager have been updated following the loss 2-1 to Ipswich in the premier league.
The result placed further pressure on current boss ange postecoglou, despite the Australian man only signing a last season before the beginning of summer.
Hotspur have picked up seven points from their opening five Premier League games, with fans concerned over the performance in their first European contest.
Midfielder James Maddison even claimed that Ipswich’wanted it more’ – an admission that left supporters fuming.
There has been no comment from Hotspur minority co-owner on whether Ange postecoglou is under threat – but bookmakers are still pricing up the possibility of the man being sacked.
And as per Oddschecker, two candidates lead the way over the rest.
Those candidates are the former England boss Gareth Southgate and who are priced at odds of 4/1
Thomas Tuchel, meanwhile, is priced at 9/1. The German boss is currently out of work having left Bayern Munich in the summer, but reportedly turned down an opportunity to replace Ange postecoglou after that.
Among the other potential contenders are former United coach Kieran McKenna, who is in charge of fellow Premier League club Ipswich Town, as well as Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi and another ex-Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter.
Zinedine Zidane is among a group of managers at 33/1, but still hasn’t returned to management after ending his second spell at Real Madrid in 2021.
The latest odds (correct at the time of writing and best odds shown) are as follows:
Gareth Southgate (Unemployed) – 4/1
Roberto De Zerbi (Marseille) – 20/1
Graham Potter (Unemployed) – 25/1
Thomas Frank (Brentford) – 25/1
Zinedine Zidane (Unemployed) – 33/1
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur have set their ‘priority target’ for the 2024/25 season and it ‘would be a blow’ for Ange Postecoglou if he fails.
The former Celtic boss took over at Tottenham ahead of the 2023/24 campaign and he was lauded at the start of last season as he overhauled their style of play following Antonio Conte’s dour spell in the dugout.
Under Posteocoglou, Spurs struggled during the run-in as they missed out on the Champions League but it was still a successful debut season for the Aussie.
However, Tottenham have endured a frustrating start to the 2024/25 season as they have five wins, one draw and five losses in their eleven Premier League matches. Their run of results after the October international break was a mixed bag as they beat Man City and Aston Villa but lost against Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.
This leaves Spurs tenth in the Premier League and Postecoglou is currently the fifth-favourite to be the next manager sacked.
Under Posteocoglou, Spurs struggled during the run-in as they missed out on the Champions League but it was still a successful debut season for the Aussie.
A new report from Football Insider claims Spurs have set their ‘priority target’ for this season as they ‘expect to return to the Champions League’ this term.
Postecoglou is said to have ‘plenty of credit in the bank’, but it ‘would be a blow’ if Spurs miss out on the Champions League.
‘The Australian has plenty of credit in the bank with club chiefs after his first season in charge at Spurs, which saw the club finish fifth.
‘He has spoken publicly about his vision of winning a trophy with the Lilywhites, but it is believed Champions League qualification is the ‘priority for the club.
‘Sources say missing out on Europe’s premier club competition would be a “blow” for the manager’s long-term future – with his contract set to run until June 2027.’
