now that Thomas Frank has been fired, tottenham hotspur There is currently no manager.

However, hopes of seeing Mauricio Pochettino back in the Tottenham dugout for the remainder of the campaign have been dashed as he prepares for the United States’ World Cup in North America.

In hindsight, it seems absurd that the Danish tactician lasted as long as he did. Tottenham Hotspur have had a dazzling season and are embroiled in a Premier League Relegation battle.

While the more pragmatic option would have been to appoint John Heitinga on an interim basis, Spurs fans may have had enough of pragmatism for a while.

After all, there are several interesting options.

How Spurs plan to upgrade Thomas Frank

Tottenham cannot afford to make any mistakes in the business months of the season. Relegation fears have intensified after two wins in 17 Premier League games.

A number of candidates have been named, with Spurs chairman Vinai Venkatesham said to be leading the charge.

Pochettino would be an excellent addition, but he’s not the only one receiving attention.

According to talkSPORTthe board is discussing whether to take action Roberto DezerbiThis week he was sacked in Marseille, France.

De Zerbi was a target last summer before Frank became popular, but offers were dominated by Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici, both of whom are no longer at the club.

The creative Italian tactician is said to be expected to arrive in London this week, so it’s difficult to rule out face-to-face talks, especially with Manchester City and Manchester United both mentioned as potential suitors at the end of the season.

What Roberto De Zerbi would bring to Tottenham

Many managers have tried and failed to make this work at Tottenham. Anj Postkoglu won the trophy but his inconsistent reign led to his sacking.

Jose Mourinho The Londoners’ drought may be over if he is allowed to take charge of the 2021 Carabao Cup final. He was just one game away from glory, but Mourinho did not adopt the “Dare Man” nickname in his tactics and he was sacked.

De Zerbi is an outspoken coach with a strong personality, and in that regard he could become a new version of the Portuguese at Tottenham Hotspur, which is likely to be popular with fans.

Mourinho’s tenure at Tottenham was a forgettable one, but when he arrived the club was not in a good place, with more than a handful of goals from Tanguy Ndombele.

He wasn’t out of his depth, whereas Frank wasn’t. While De Zerbi faces a tough task in north London, he possesses the character and resilience that his predecessor lacked, having withstood one of Europe’s most vociferous fanbases in Marseille.

Additionally, he has extensive experience as the leader of a possession system in the Premier League, leading Stamandev to call him “genius“.

Possession-based football is all well and good, but Tottenham fans will want to see their team reward their opponents with a flexible and creative attack. De Zerbi will have a difficult job in that regard, but he does have the skills to make it happen.

The 46-year-old usually adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation with a playmaker in his system. Additionally, he tends to make subtle changes to routines, always creating new dimensions to his settings.

Perhaps this kind of flexibility is exactly what Tottenham need, with his Mourinho-esque profile and a range of tactical ideas giving him greater status than Benfica boss and the recently sacked Frank.

He is passionate and caring. De Zerbi can be a bit testy at times, but this Spurs team may need a passionate manager to correct the many mistakes of recent years.

In this regard, De Zerbi could excel as the club’s new Mourinho, one with a more progressive tactical mindset. Maybe this is the combination needed to finally build consistency on the right end of the scale.
