With Antonio Conte’s tenure as Spurs boss looking as if it’s nearing an end, we’re taking a look at the top five candidates that could become the next Tottenham manager.

Following his furious rant after Spurs’ draw against Southampton last weekend, Antonio Conte became the bookies’ favourite in the next Premier League manager to be sacked odds.

Reports since the outburst have suggested that Conte has just days left in his role with Tottenham, and will be sacked before the players return from the international break.

Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier League table, two points clear of fifth place Newcastle.

Their Champions League campaign also came to an end recently. The north Londoners crashed out of Europe at the round of 16, losing 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan.

With Conte’s time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking as if it’s almost over, we’re taking a look a the top five candidates to replace him as Spurs manager.


5. Marco Silva

Current Fulham boss Marco Silva has been priced as the fifth favourite to take over from Conte at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, priced at 16/1.

The Cottagers are enjoying a very good Premier League season under Silva at the moment.

They are currently ninth in the league table, with hopes for European football next term.

Their form has dropped a bit recently, after losing their last three matches in all competitions, exiting the FA Cup against Manchester United in the most disastrous fashion.

The Portuguese gaffer has a wealth of Premier League experience. Since arriving in England in 2017, he has managed Hull, Watford, Everton and Fulham.

Could Tottenham Hotspur be next on his list?


4. Luis Enrique

Former Spanish national team manager Luis Enrique is another name linked to the Spurs job. The 52-year-old is the fourth favourite to take over from Conte, priced at 14/1.

His managerial CV includes the likes of Roma, Celta Vigo, Barcelona and, of course, the Spanish national team on two ocassions.

He led Spain at the most recent World Cup, exiting at the round of 16 on penalties against Morocco.

During his time as Barcelona manager, he won the La Liga title twice, as well as winning the UEFA Champions League.

Could a move to England be of interest to the Spaniard?


3. Oliver Glasner

Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner is the bookies’ third favourite to come in at Tottenham. The Austrian is currently priced at 6/1 to become the next Spurs manager.

Glasner led the German side to their first European final since 1980 last season, and defeated Rangers on penalties to be crowned Europa League champions.

Frankfurt are currently sixth in the Bundesliga table, but are without a win in their last six matches in all competitions.

Their Champions League campaign came to an end in the last-16, as they were defeated 5-0 on aggregate by Napoli.

Glasner has only managed at four clubs throughout his career, Ried and LASK in Austria, and Wolfsburg and Frankfurt in Germany.


2. Mauricio Pochettino

Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is the second favourite to take over at Tottenham. The Argentine has been priced 5/1 by the bookies to become the club’s next manager.

Not only does Pochettino have previous Premier League experience with Spurs, but with Southampton as well.

The Argentine led Spurs to their first ever Champions League final in 2019, losing out in Madrid with a 2-0 scoreline against Liverpool.

His most recent management job was with Paris-Saint-Germain. In France he won the Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and the Trophee des Champions.

Pochettino has been linked with vacant Premier League jobs for many years now, but could a reunion with Spurs bring him back to England?


1. Ryan Mason

The favourite to take over is another former Spurs boss, albeit interim – it’s Ryan Mason. The Englishman is the odds on favourite to take over, priced at 1/10 to become Tottenham manager.

Following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho in 2021, Mason was named interim boss of Tottenham until the end of the season. This saw him become the youngest manager in Premier League history, aged just 29.

He was in charge for the Spurs’ EFL Cup final appearance, which they lost by a single goal to Manchester City.

After Conte’s appointment, Mason was promoted to the role of first-team coach after impressing the Italian.

With Conte’s exit looming, Mason looks set to take over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
