Pochettino Odds Shorten for Tottenham Return as Frank’s Position Comes Under Strain

His USMNT contract runs to September, limiting the chances of an immediate appointment.

Overview

  • Bookmakers cut Mauricio Pochettino to joint favourite at around 4/1 after a rapid shift that had briefly installed Xabi Alonso earlier in the week.
  • Thomas Frank’s job is under immediate scrutiny following an FA Cup defeat, with the West Ham match cited as potentially decisive and a record of 11 wins in 31 games reported.
  • Pochettino is currently the United States men’s national team coach under a deal through September, which makes a near-term move unlikely before the summer World Cup.
  • Football Insider reports Tottenham would be open to appointing an interim manager if they remove Frank in the coming weeks.
  • Speculation around successors extends beyond Pochettino, with odds and pundits highlighting Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva, Enzo Maresca, Ruben Amorim and Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness.
