His style of play has been criticized and the results haven&#8217;t helped soften the blow. Despite the club&#8217;s efforts to emphasize patience, his time may be numbered.<\/p>\n<p>However, even in recent days, top operators have become available should Spurs wish to part ways with Frank. Here, Express Sport looks at the options they have to get the season back on track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Oliver Glasner<\/p>\n<p>Spurs supporters may shudder at the thought of a manager returning after a successful career at a rival club in London.<\/p>\n<p>However, Oliver Glassner proved more capable of playing on the front foot at Crystal Palace than Frank did at Brentford, and won a major silver medal in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>His contract expires at the end of the season, but Spurs could still be in the race for Marc Gehi with Glasner at the helm.<\/p>\n<p>Marco Silva<\/p>\n<p>Marco Silva is a name that will never go away when it comes to future Spurs managers.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s easy to see why, as he continues to perform for a motley Fulham side.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs can only dream of reaching the lofty 8th place that Fulham currently sit in, and it may be time for Silva to get his chance at a Premier League &#8216;big six&#8217; club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Enzo Maresca<\/p>\n<p>Hiring the former Chelsea manager may leave a bad taste in the mouths of many Spurs fans, but Enzo Maresca is a coach with a rich pedigree and his supporters will argue he struggled at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>He has clashed with Chelsea&#8217;s biggest names, but Spurs could be the ones to benefit from the Italian&#8217;s decision to sack him.<\/p>\n<p>Maresca is looking for a new job and says there is an opportunity to remain in London with the Champions League club, giving him a chance to be a step up from his previous employer. Revenge tastes the sweetest.<\/p>\n<p>Ruben Amorim<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Spurs have a squad that would be a great fit for Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<p>The club has no less than three top-quality centre-backs, as well as a number of all-action wing-backs such as Pedro Polo, Destiny Udoghi and Jed Spence.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of quality in midfield possession may be masked by Amorim&#8217;s preference for moving the ball through the flanks, but Spurs have a number of wingers who prefer to operate in central areas.<\/p>\n<p>It might just be the perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi<\/p>\n<p>Roberto de Zerbi has revitalized Ligue 1 with Marseille, returning the fallen giants to their former glory by putting them in contention with Paris Saint-Germain for the title last year.<\/p>\n<p>He previously had success in the Premier League with Brighton and his style of football is the exact opposite of Frank.<\/p>\n<p>The 46-year-old could put smiles back on faces at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2155009\/Tottenham-next-manager-Thomas-Frank-sack\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas Frank is under serious pressure at Tottenham and their recent 3-2 defeat away to struggling Bournemouth added to the misery surrounding the club.
