Tottenham next permanent manager odds: Brentford boss Thomas Frank huge favourite

Despite leading Tottenham to a first trophy since 2008, Ange Postecoglou was given his marching orders by Daniel Levy 16 days after a historic Europa League triumph in Bilbao.

A 17th-place finish marked the club’s worst standing in the Premier League era – with Spurs losing double the number of games won over the 38-game campaign.

While debates over the correct course of action rage on, the UK’s best bookmakers have listed the most likely incumbents to take the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hot seat.

Thomas Frank – 1/6 (Ladbrokes)

Brentford’s fourth successive Premier League season culminated in a 10th-place finish – just nine points from qualification for the Europa Conference League.

Thomas Frank has received significant plaudits for his side’s attacking prowess, proven by the Bees outscoring Bournemouth (9th), Nottingham Forest (7th), Aston Villa (6th) and Chelsea (4th). 

The 51-year-old’s exploits at the helm of the Gtech Community Stadium have seen him priced as the favourite to replace Ange Postecoglou this summer - posted at 1/6 by Ladbrokes. Considering his ability to overperform in England’s top flight, the Danish coach could prove to be an ideal fit for this Spurs squad. 

Marco Silva – 5/1 (Paddy Power)

At 47 years old, Marco Silva has already amassed an impressive domestic CV – leading Hull City, Watford, Everton and Fulham since 2017. 

Currently at Craven Cottage, Silva is yet to finish lower than 13th as head of the Shahid Khan-owned club. This underlines the Portuguese national’s unwavering ability to overachieve; with shrewd moves in the transfer market bolstering his stock. 

At 5/1 with Paddy Power and Sky Bet, this stands as a solid value bet.

Scott Parker – 20/1 (Sky Bet)

Having played for Spurs on 63 occasions as a player, Burnley manager Scott Parker is somewhat familiar with Daniel Levy’s modus operandi. 

Just 44 years old, Parker has led four managerial positions – including a stint at the helm of Belgian side, Club Brugge. 

His 2024/25 campaign saw the ex-midfielder attain automatic promotion to the Premier League with the Clarets. Undoubtedly on Levy’s shortlist of options, a switch from Lancashire in the direction of North London could come to fruition. 

Sky Bet and Paddy Power offer the most lucrative odds for this pick, at 20/1.

Oliver Glasner – 20/1 (Betfred)

Once the clear favourite to take over as Spurs boss, Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner has seen his odds lengthen from 4/1 to 20/1 since late May.

Their FA Cup Final victory over Manchester City secured Europa League qualification for the Eagles – a factor that may persuade the Austrian to oversee a debut outing on the European stage at Selhurst Park. 

Whether the allure of the Spurs job can overcome Glasner’s desire to lead Palace in Europe remains to be seen. Should he look to move on, Betfred (20/1) and BetMGM (20/1) deliver the best odds.

Xavi Hernandez – 20/1 (Coral)

In the face of La Liga and UEFA Super Cup glory, Xavi faced relentless criticism as Barcelona’s head coach – and a disagreement with the club’s board eventually resulted in his exit from the Catalan side. 

Now a free agent, the former midfield maestro could return to management under an entirely fresh set of circumstances as Tottenham seek to build on a momentous 2024/25 campaign. 

His potential hiring is priced at 20/1 with Coral – and would constitute a markedly new style of play for this Spurs squad.
