Tottenham Hotspur: 5 Coaches Who Could Replace Thomas Frank After His Sacking

Following the dismissal of Thomas Frank, the pressing question at Tottenham Hotspur is who will take the helm. While a host of top-tier managers could be in the running, many are not available until the summer, presenting a significant dilemma for the club.

Will Tottenham Hotspur appoint their long-term successor now, or will they opt for an interim manager to secure their Premier League status before making a permanent decision? In this article, Pulse Sports Kenya will look at the leading contenders for the job.

With his contract at Crystal Palace expiring this summer, Oliver Glasner is a sought-after name across Europe.

His high-pressure, exciting style of play has earned him plaudits for his work at Crystal Palace, where he has achieved impressive results under challenging conditions.

The Austrian coach made an immediate impact upon his arrival, comfortably steering the team to safety. From a tactical perspective, Oliver Glasner’s philosophy appears to be an excellent match for the current Tottenham squad, and a mid-season move is not out of the question.

A beloved figure among the Spurs faithful, many fans feel Pochettino should never have been allowed to leave. The primary obstacle is his current role as head coach of the USMNT, a team he is preparing to lead at a home World Cup this summer.

However, Pochettino has consistently expressed his affection for Tottenham, and with fans chanting his name, their preference is clear.

His USMNT contract expires after the tournament, making him a strong candidate for the summer if a move is not possible now. A reunion with Pochettino could also potentially entice Harry Kane back to the club.

While arguably the best managerial choice available, securing Unai Emery seems unrealistic. He has performed exceptionally at Aston Villa, and it is unlikely he would leave for Spurs mid-season.

Still, the prospect of challenging Arsenal by reviving their North London rivals could be tempting. Like Glasner, Emery’s tactical approach would suit many players in the current squad, and his uncompromising style would quickly whip the team into shape. The main hurdle remains his commitment to Villa.

Another manager who has consistently overachieved, Marco Silva's contract at Fulham is also up at the end of the season.

Marco Silva has earned a shot at a top club, and his strong character could be exactly what Spurs need to shake things up and restore order.

With extensive Premier League experience from his time at Watford, Everton, and Fulham, Silva is well-equipped for the challenge.

Thomas Tuchel's contract with the England national team concludes after this summer's World Cup, ruling out an immediate move.

However, if Spurs were to appoint a short-term manager, Thomas Tuchel would be a prime candidate for a long-term project starting in the summer.

He is a proven winner with high standards and has a strong relationship with Harry Kane, which could be a key factor in a potential return for the striker.
