It’s always a case of ‘the king is dead, long live the king’ in football.

As promised, here’s a rundown about who could be the next manager to take the Tottenham hot seat:

Thomas Frank, Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has been tipped as a leading contender to replace Postecoglou. The Danish manager, 51, has been in charge of the Bees since 2018, guiding them to the Premier League at the end of the 2019-20 and keeping them there since.

Andoni Iraola replaced Gary O’Neil as the Bournemouth manager in the summer of 2023 and has been a resounding success at the Cherries. Bournemouth finished 13th in 2023-24 with 13 wins before finishing even higher, in ninth place, in the recently concluded campaign.
