Sky Bet Reveals Leading Contenders To Replace Thomas Frank At Spurs

From Cristoforo Prodan


It's official - Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Thomas Frank simply eight months after selecting him.


Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou in June, had actually come under increasing pressure following a bad run of type that has actually seen to 16th in the table.


And it appears Tottenham's 2-1 loss in the house versus Newcastle on Tuesday was the straw that broke the camel's back - as the Dane was dismissed less than 24 hr later.


Following Frank's sacking - attention instantly has turned to who will be his replacement at Tottenham.

At the time of composing, Tottenham's assistant coach John Heitinga is the best-backed with Sky Bet at 8/11.


He has actually leapfrogged Roberto De Zerbi considering that the marketplace opened - with the Italian widening a little from 8/11 to a 6/4 second-favourite in the market.


Similarly to Frank, De Zerbi is also out of a job today after he left Marseille in the wake of his side's 5-0 thumping at the hands of Ligue 1 competitors Paris Saint-Germain Sunday.


Although his time at Marseille has ended on a sour note, De Zerbi has actually currently shown himself in the Premier League, delighting in a successful spell at Brighton that included a sixth-place surface - the greatest in the club's history.


Meanwhile, for those after somewhat of an outsider, Marco Silva, Mauricio Pochettino and Robbie Keane complete the five favourites at 15/2, 9/1 and 10/1 respectively.


Another candidate in the mix is former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, who is currently a 16/1 seventh-favourite.

John Heitinga 8/11


Roberto De Zerbi 6/4
