Thomas Frank is under extra pressure after Tottenham suffered a demoralizing 3-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest. Spurs are at the bottom of the Premier League, having won just one of their last seven games, and the Danish manager is probably starting to question his future at the club.
Frank has only been in north London for a few months, but concerns over his style of play and poor performance have done little to allay doubts. It is unlikely that the Spurs leadership will part ways too soon into Frank’s tenure, but if they choose to pull the trigger, Express Sport is considering four potential options…
Oliver Glasner
Oliver Glasner is a tree feller at Crystal Palace and many clubs will be interested if he leaves Selhurst Park. His contract expires at the end of the season, meaning it may not take long for Spurs to buy him out of his contract, with Glasner having previously had concerns about Palace’s reinforcements.
His 3-4-3 shape could also suit Spurs, who prefer to build up the ball in wide areas. Spurs have struggled to make strides in midfield this season, but having Kevin Danso form a back three could allow the likes of Pedro Polo and Jed Spence to attack more freely.
Marco Silva
This is not the first time Marco Silva has been linked with the Tottenham job.
The Portuguese head coach has been in fine form at Fulham, taking a side rejected in the Premier League and turning them into top players at Craven Cottage.
Despite the huge difference in resources, they are just two points behind Fulham and just two points behind Spurs, who just a few weeks ago took them one point ahead of Franck in their 2-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Andoni Iraola
Bournemouth, coached by Andoni Iraola, have fallen into a slump and have not won since a 2-0 win at Forest in October.
However, Iraola remains in demand and was rumored to be available for several top jobs just a few months ago.
He also only has until the end of the season on his contract, but this week he claimed there has been no announcement regarding a possible extension.
frank lampard
They couldn’t do it, could they?
The sight of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard in the Spurs dugout will be anathema to many. But are the Spurs in a position to turn down a potentially very talented head coach?
Lampard, who has experience in Europe and the top flight, reinvigorated his career at Coventry and led the team to the top of the Championship.
If they don’t hire Lampard, they may fear playing against his team next season.
