I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- Thomas Frank sacked after Spurs slump to 14th in the Premier League.
- Robert De Zerbi now odds-on favourite at 4/5.
- Mauricio Pochettino remains firmly in contention at 6/4.
Spurs Act as Manager Market Flips
UK betting sites have reacted swiftly after Thomas Frank was sacked as Tottenham manager, with the Next Permanent Tottenham Manager market now seeing an early odds-on favourite.
Frank’s final league game in charge was Tuesday’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle, leaving Spurs 16th in the Premier League, just five points above the relegation zone after managing only two wins in 17 matches.
Despite guiding Tottenham to a fourth-place finish in the Champions League league phase and into the last 16, domestic struggles proved too costly.
David Ornstein confirmed on X that Spurs were “working through various contingency plans” as chairman Daniel Levy searches for a replacement.
And the betting now suggests one man is leading the race.

Next Permanent Tottenham Manager
| Next Permanent Tottenham Manager | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Robert De Zerbi | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Mauricio Pochettino | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Xavi Hernandez | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Robbie Keane | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Ruben Amorim | 10/1 | 9.1% |
De Zerbi Moves Odds-On
Robert De Zerbi is now the clear market leader at 4/5, giving him an implied probability of 55.6% to become Tottenham’s next permanent manager.
The Italian tactician’s attractive, progressive style and prior Premier League experience make him a strong fit for Spurs’ long-term vision.
His rapid move into odds-on territory suggests either strong market support or growing confidence among insiders that he is high on Spurs' shortlist.
De Zerbi departed Marseille by mutual agreement on Wednesday and this departure could signal an instant move to Tottenham.
What the expert says...
Pochettino Still in the Frame
Despite De Zerbi’s surge, Mauricio Pochettino remains a serious contender at 6/4 (40.0%).
The Argentine remains hugely popular among Spurs supporters after leading the club to a Champions League final during his previous spell.
A return would represent both emotional resonance and immediate credibility at a time when Tottenham require stability and belief.
Ruben Amorim, priced at 10/1, rounds out the market fresh from his sacking at Manchester United at the start of the year.
