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.
