Ange Postecoglou is now the frontrunner with the bookmakers to become Tottenham's next manager following a major twist in the club's search for Antonio Conte's successor. Arne Slot was the previous favourite for the hotseat but on Thursday morning he confirmed that he will be remaining with Feyenoord rather than making the switch to N17.
Now 60 days on from Conte's exit and with the club now on course to surpass their 72-day search for Jose Mourinho's replacement two years ago, Postecoglou has jumped to the top of the list. Former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is next in line with the bookies, with Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Graham Potter other names towards the top.
Maybe an underwhelming appointment for many if he is appointed boss amid links with Nagelsmann, Slot and former head coach Mauricio Pochettino, Postecoglou would help Levy fulfil his goal of bringing a manager to the club who plays "football you will love to come and watch". Eyebrows were raised when the 57-year-old was appointed as Celtic boss in June 2021, especially with his only taste of management in Europe coming in the Greek third division back in 2008.
