đ¨ EXCL: One leading candidate to replace Thomas Frank at Tottenham - and it's NOT Pochettino or De Zerbi
An exclusive update on Spurs' search for a new manager...
Tottenham are yet to make contact over hiring a new permanent manager to replace Thomas Frank, but I have some early information on potential candidates for the job.
While there has been no final decision yet as Spurs chiefs explore their options, Iâm told that the most likely candidate to be in the dugout for the Arsenal game is current coach John Heitinga in an interim role.
This would buy Tottenham time as they wait to see which managers might be available after the 2026 World Cup, with Mauricio Pochettino frequently linked as a top candidate to return to the north London club.
âUnacceptableâ, ânot a big clubâ - why so many Tottenham managers keep leaving on bad terms
My understanding for now is that this is speculation more than anything concrete - thatâs not to say Pochettino wouldnât be open to a return to Tottenham, but thereâs no longer necessarily that strong a link there without Daniel Levy, whom he had a strong working relationship with and who previously considered bringing him back.
