Next Tottenham manager betting odds: Who is the favourite to succeed Ange Postecoglou?

Tottenham have been by far the hardest team to bet on this season, thanks to their wildly inconsistent performances.

One minute comfortably beating Manchester United, a week later throwing away a two goal lead to Brighton.

Then they dispatched West Ham and followed it up with defeat to Crystal Palace.

Thump Aston Villa, lose to Ipswich, brush aside Manchester City, draw with Fulham, lose to Bournemouth, beaten by Chelsea despite being two up and then trounce Southampton.

The festive period makes for especially grim reading; three defeats and a draw from the last four.

Spurs' team performance hasn't helped Ange Postecoglou's popularity meter either. He's been up and down our next Premier League manager to leave market like a yo-yo.

He started the season in the 20s, and has been as high as 50/1. But he has dipped to his current lowest of 3/1 after the Liverpool thrashing and the Newcastle defeat.

With all this uncertainty, Tottenham are the kind of club that do make snap decisions without much warning so it's worth keeping an eye on the candidates for the next Spurs manager if Postecoglou does get the bullet.

Here are the runners and riders and all odds are correct at the time of the article's last update.

 

Edin Terzic - 10/3

With Graham Potter taking over at West Ham, Edin Terzic is now the favourite to take the helm at Spurs.

The 42-year-old took Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final and lost the league title on goal difference to Bayern Munich on the final day of the season.

Claims that the former Borussia Dortmund boss was about to replace Postecoglou started to circulate around Christmas and aren't going away.

Besiktas presidential candidate Serdal Adali recently announced that Terzic expects to succeed Postecoglou at Tottenham and that's why the Turkish club have given him a swerve.

There's been much wailing from Spurs fans about the rumour as you'd expect.

 

Didier Deschamps -  8/1

The current France boss shot up this market after the annoucement of the Potter appointment at West Ham.

It feels a bit left field, as he's still got another 18 months on his contract with the France national side and is preparing for the 2026 World Cup.

But he has said he will step down after that tournament. It certainly feels like Tottenham will have to wait a long time if they go down this route.

 

Kieran McKenna - 8/1

The Ipswich manager shot up this market before Christmas and is now joint-second favourite.

This is probably nothing more than some wild media speculation and that he worked in the Tottenham academy, so will be worth keeping an eye on.

 

Andoni Iraola - 10/1

Two seasons ago most Tottenham fans had even heard of Andoni Iraola, now he's one of the favourites after doing a superb job at Bournemouth.

You've got to feel sorry for Bournemouth fans, bigger clubs will always pick their most juicy cherries from the tree.

 

Eddie Howe -  12/1

Jumping from one club with delusions of grandeur to another, just with fewer black stripes on their shirt, might be the perfect move for Eddie Howe.

Though he left Bournemouth for what he considered to be a step up in Burnley (yes, that was a thing) and it didn't work out very well for him.

Sometimes it's just best to stay put and bask in the love of your fans, rather having to do it all again somewhere else.

 

Gareth Southgate - 14/1

Starting to feel a bit sorry for Gareth Southgate, he did a great job with England and yet the negativity around Euro 2024, even though they got to the final, appears to have blotted his copy book.

Unless he hangs on for a huge job, then Tottenham is the kind of club he could ease himself back into club management with, even though it would turn the Spurs faithful purple with rage.

If Rooney and Lampard can get a Championship job by being very ordinary managers, then Southgate should aim a lot higher.

 

Brendan Rodgers - 16/1

The former Leicester boss sneaks into this market as he continues to pick up silverware at Celtic.

After leaving his first spell at Celtic for the bright lights of er...Leicester, bookies know that Rodgers can be lured from Glasgow.

 

Marco Silva -  20/1

Considering Marco Silva is only 47 he's had quite a nomadic career in the 13 years he's been a manager.

Fulham is his seventh club since he took over Estoril in 2011 and he appears to have settled in West London, as this is the longest time he's spent anywhere.

However, as his time at Watford showed he can have his head turned by another club fluttering their eyelashes at him - that time it was Everton and that didn't go very well.

He's done a great job at Fulham and his star is on the ascendancy once again, could he be lured across London?

 

Julian Nagelsmann - 25/1

That Tottenham believe that they are a big enough club to lure a top international manager away from his job is certainly admirable - see Tuchel.

Once again Nagelsmann would really have to drop the ball with Germany to be in the running for this job, if he'd even consider it.

 

Roberto De Zerbi - 25/1

The former Brighton boss is doing a grand job at Marseille as they chase the coattails of PSG in Ligue 1. 

Granted this is where Marseille usually end up, apart from last season, so maybe it's not that impressive.

De Zerbi, who was a target for some major European clubs, had second season syndrome at Brighton and reportedly fell out with the board, which already sounds a perfect fit for the next Tottenham boss.

 

Thomas Frank - 25/1

Thomas Frank has started making noises about moving on from his Danish enclave in West London.

But sometimes the warm comfy slippers of what you know are better than taking the risk of a stiletto heel like Manchester United or some ballet flats like Tottenham.

Frank is the safe pair of hands that Tottenham probably need, but that would appear to be a very un-Spursy move.

He has shuttled between 25/1 and 100/1 in the last month, so who knows what is going on there.

 

Unai Emery - 33/1

Bit of an odd one having the former Arsenal manager fairly high up the Tottenham market.

He's done a fantastic job at Villa, and they are similar sort of clubs in size and expectation.

But we can't see him jumping ship to return to North London.

 

Jose Mourinho - 66/1

Never return to a lit firework, ex-partner or restaurant that once gave you food poisoning.

These rules apply here too, even though Jose Mourinho laughs in the face of a used sparkler that hasn't been placed carefully in a bucket of water.
