Tottenham Hotspur are on the search for a new manager following the sacking of Thomas Frank with former striker Robbie Keane seemingly among the contenders to take charge in North London

Robbie Keane walked out of an interview after being asked about the potential of him taking the Tottenham Hotspur job. The former Spurs striker is seemingly among the contenders to take the reins at the North London club following the sacking of Thomas Frank.

Others linked with the job include former boss Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi. Keane would certainly be an intriguing appointment given his coaching career so far.

He commenced his post-playing career with ATK before being appointed as assistant with the Republic of Ireland, Middlesbrough and Leeds United. Keane was handed the reins at Maccabi Tel Aviv ahead of his appointment at Hungarian side Ferencvaros, where he has won the league title.

Asked if he is expecting an approach from Spurs, he said: “I can’t help speculation,” before he quickly walked out of the interview.

Meanwhile, Keane has also confirmed his stance on his future and claimed that he was not actively looking for a role in the Premier League. Speaking with Hungarian newspaper Nemzeti Sport this week: "I never dream about it.

“After playing there the most, people back home expect me to work in England. It doesn’t work that way for me. Am I looking for the opportunity to sign for England? No. Would I like to be the manager of Liverpool? No. If they want me to be one, we can talk about it.

"I feel great at Ferencvaros, I couldn’t be in a better place right now. I am lucky because I don’t need money, I earned a living when I was a player, I don’t do it to get money at the end of the month, I am motivated by something completely different."

Keane has been backed by former Spurs star Michael Dawson for the job. Speaking after Frank’s exit from the club, the ex-defender said: “It wasn't inevitable in my opinion because I go back to the game against West Ham and they lost 2-1 with a late goal and that was the point where I thought 'will they make a change?' And it's clear they didn't want to do that.

"I just look back at last night's performance, they've had a meeting. They've made a decision and now they've got a huge decision to make on who comes in.

"I hear everyone talk about interim. We don't know, we don't know if it's going to be interim. If that happens, I think it's only one manager they're waiting for in the summer.

"For me, there's someone in the making. Someone who knows the football club, someone who's got the passion, played for the club, loves it and will galvanise everyone and bring them in the right direction and that's Robbie Keane for me."

Ange Postecoglou savages Tottenham and reveals incredible four-man shortlist they rejected

Ange Postecoglou has revealed that he looked at signing four players during his second summer transfer window at Tottenham, only for the club not to bring any of them in

Ange Postecoglou has slammed Tottenham's transfer policy and revealed he had a four-man transfer shortlist in mind that the club REJECTED during the 2024 summer window.

Postecoglou, 60, was sacked from his role as head coach at Tottenham last summer following two years in north London. During his time in charge, the Aussie guided Spurs to a fifth-place finish in his first season before ending the club's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last campaign.

However, Spurs decided to make a change with Postecoglou getting axed and Thomas Frank coming in to replace him after doing a stellar job at Brentford. Postecoglou recorded a 46.5 per cent win rate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 47 and drawing 15 of his 101 matches in charge.

But now, after describing Tottenham as "not a big club" when it comes to wages and transfer fees, Postecoglou has savaged his former club and claimed he tried to sign Pedro Neto, Bryan Mbeumo, Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi during the 2024 summer transfer window - all of which did not happen.

Speaking on The Overlap, Postecoglou said: "At the end of my first year when we finished fifth, for me I was like, 'how do you go from fifth to challenging?' Well, we had to sign Premier League-ready players, but finishing fifth that year didn't get us Champions League, we didn't have the money so we ended up signing Dom Solanke who I really like and three teenagers (Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert).

"I was looking at Pedro Neto, Mbeumo, Semenyo at the time and Marc Guehi. Because I said if we want to go from fifth to there, that is what the other big clubs were doing at that moment.

"Those three teenagers are outstanding young players and I think they'll be brilliant players for Tottenham, but they're not going to get you from fifth to fourth and third. But what was coming out from the club was that we are a club that can compete on all fronts."

Postecoglou added: "I still felt like Tottenham as a club were saying we're one of the big boys but in reality I don't think they are, in my experience over the last two years. You see Arsenal spend £100m on Declan Rice, I don't see Tottenham doing that. Maybe now, I don't know."

After losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, Tottenham spent more than £210million during Postecoglou's first summer, with the club signing James Maddison, Pedro Porro, Brennan Johnson, Micky van de Ven, Dejan Kulusevski, Guglielmo Vicario, Alejo Veliz, Ashley Phillips and Manor Solomon.

It was backing that helped led Spurs to a remarkable start to Postecoglou's reign, with Tottenham sitting top of the Premier League with 20 points after eight matches. Although Tottenham ended up dropping off and finishing fifth, two points behind fourth-place Aston Villa, there was a feeling and belief that the Aussie could build something special in north London if he was backed in his second summer.

But, having missed out on Champions League football, Tottenham spent under £80m less on transfers, with Dominic Solanke the most high profile recruit. Teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert were the others to come on, though Spurs didn't lose a significant first-teamer, such as Kane.

While Spurs did go on and win the Europa League, performances and results in the Premier League dipped significantly and it led them to finish in 17th, their lowest final position since 1976/77. That contributed to Postecoglou's exit, with then-Spurs chairman Daniel Levy feeling a changed needed to happen.

Ange Postecoglou believes Thomas Frank should have no complaints about his sacking from Tottenham Hotspur. Frank was dismissed as manager of the north Londoners after their 2-1 home loss to Newcastle United.

The loss to the Magpies left the Europa League champions in 16th place, just five points above the relegation zone. He is the second permanent manager in eight months to be sacked by Tottenham, with Postecoglou being dismissed at the end of last season.

The Australian was shown the door after the club finished in 17th position, with his Europa League triumph not enough to spare him from the axe. Around eight months after his sacking - and five months after he was also fired by Nottingham Forest - Postecoglou offered his honest verdict on Frank's departure.

The ex-Celtic boss said to the Overlap: "It's always, having been in that position twice in the last six months, it's tough, it's tough. You know that he can't be the only issue at the club and that's probably every manager.

"But, ultimately that's what we get judged on. But it goes back to me, it's a curious club Tottenham. It's made a major pivot at the end of last year, not just with me but with Daniel (Levy) leaving as well.

"You've created a whole sort of environment of uncertainty because there's no guarantees, no matter which managers you bring in because they've had world-class managers there and not had success and for what reason?

"What was the reason for such a major pivot, you know Thomas was walking in, what's his objective? What's the club's objective? At the start of the year, obviously to compete on all fronts but the club hasn't competed on all fronts for a long time.

"Also the most influential person at the club for the last 20 years is also going so if you're going to do such a major pivot, you have to understand there is going to be some instability there. Did Thomas know he was walking into that? I don't know.

"It's a fair departure from me, anyone who studies the game, it wasn't like it was a progression from me. I built that sort of squad for want of a better word to play a certain way for a number of years and he's sort of coming in and like we said, it's a curious club Tottenham."

Spurs finished fifth in Postecoglou's first campaign, which saw them only just miss out on the Champions League positions. Injuries and poor form at home - which also ended up costing Frank his job - blighted the Australian's second season at the club.

While the Europa League triumph did end Spurs' long run without a trophy and provided them with a place in this season's Champions League - the one competition Frank thrived in. However, Postecoglou also believes Spurs also need to look inwards to find their issues instead of merely sacking one manager after the other.

He added: "If you look at the list of names (managers), there isn't really a common theme there in what they are trying to do. I do think part of Tottenham's DNA - for the lack of a better word - is that they do like their teams to play a certain way.

"It's fair to say with Mauricio (Pochettino) they were going down that path, but at the same time, I think people have been too dismissive of Harry's (Kane's) influence through that period.

"If I had had Harry in that first year, I'm convinced we would have finished in that Champions League spot. Even him leaving, you cannot plug that hole. It's impossible."

Tottenham are looking for a new manager after sacking Thomas Frank, with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino a popular option among their disgruntled fan base

Tim Sherwood has put his hat in the ring to become Tottenham's new manager - but only on a short-term basis. That's because Sherwood convinced that another ex-Spurs boss, Mauricio Pochettino, will be Thomas Frank's permanent successor.

Barely 12 hours after Tottenham's miserable 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle, the club announced Frank's sacking on Wednesday morning. Spurs have only won two of their last 17 Premier League games, leaving them just five points above the relegation zone.

Now Tottenham are searching to appoint a coach ahead of next Sunday's North London derby against Arsenal. Sherwood, 57, both played for and managed Spurs, and he's open to a return.

"I think there's going to be a shortlist of people they could turn to," the former midfielder told Sky Sports. "I genuinely believe they're going to give it to John Heitinga.

"He's the man there already, he's got experience as a manager. It didn't work out great for him, obviously, at Ajax but Tottenham in the Premier League is a great opportunity for someone who is not in a job.

"It's a club I love, I know a lot about it and I've spent many years there in different capacities and it needs someone to give them a lift at the moment. Whether that's me or whoever they decide to bring in, they've got a tough job on their hands."

However, Sherwood insists that the next person in the dugout will only be a short-term fix due to the 'clamour' surrounding Pochettino. Fans chanted the Argentine's name during the Newcastle defeat, making their feelings on a return following his 2019 sacking clear.

Pochettino, 53, is currently managing the USA after spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, and he's expected to lead the country into this summer's World Cup which they're co-hosting. After that, however, the fan favourite would likely be easier to prise away.

"Let's face it, in the summer it's going to be Pochettino," Sherwood declared. "It will be impossible or almost impossible for Tottenham to look beyond Mauricio Pochettino with the clamour from the Tottenham support to bring the man back to the club.

"Whoever is going in there is going in for 12 games plus that Champions League run, there's no future at the club for that person. So there will be very few who want to put their hands up and put themselves on offer for 12 games."

Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after just under eight months in charge of the Premier League club following a 2-1 defeat at home against Newcastle United

Ange Postecoglou delivered a three-word verdict as Gary Neville was left stunned by Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur sacking. The Dane was sacked on Wednesday morning after Spurs lost 2-1 to Newcastle United on Tuesday night.

The latest tumultuous result of Frank’s dismal reign resulted in Spurs falling to 16th in the Premier League and made it two wins in 17 league fixtures. And Neville was in The Overlap studio recording this week’s show with Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Ian Wright and Roy Keane when a member of the production team, Kiaran Saunders, interrupted to inform them of Tottenham’s decision to part company with Frank.

And Neville was left stunned by the development before he revealed that Postecoglou was actually in the building, as he was due to record an episode of Stick to Football that would be released next week. But following the news, a switch was made, and the episode with the former Celtic and Nottingham Forest boss was changed to be released on Thursday morning.

And when Postecoglou entered the studio, he simply remarked: “Some timing eh,” as he took his seat. The 60-year-old was sacked by Tottenham in the summer despite leading the club to Europa League glory.

Postecoglou delivered on his promise of “always” winning in his second season thanks to the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao in May. But ultimately losing 22 Premier League matches and finishing 17th cost Postecoglou his job after two years at the club.

Speaking in the summer, former Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “I don’t regret appointing Ange. In his first season we finished fifth and in the second season we were over the moon to win a trophy, but we need to compete in all competitions. We felt that we needed a change.

“It was a collective decision. It wasn’t my decision. We do everything together. Emotionally it was difficult, but we believe we have made the right decision for the club.”

Levy then added: “We’ve won a European trophy, but it’s not enough. It’s what we haven’t done that is more important. We need to win the league.

“We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League. We want to win.”

But Spurs are currently 16th in the Premier League and just five points above the relegation zone following a dreadful run of form. They are also winless in their past eight Premier League games – their longest run without a victory since October 2008.

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Thomas Frank, and the Dane is now the favourite to become Crystal Palace's next permanent manager, with Oliver Glasner leaving at the end of this season

Thomas Frank has emerged as the frontrunner to become the next Crystal Palace manager following his dismissal by Tottenham Hotspur. Oliver Glasner has already confirmed his departure from Palace at the conclusion of this season when his contract runs out.

The FA Cup-winning manager is among the various candidates Spurs could select to succeed Frank in north London. Tottenham's former boss is now also free to make the switch in the other direction.

Remaining in London would hold clear attraction for the Dane following eight-and-a-half years at Brentford. He was initially their assistant head coach before ultimately succeeding Dean Smith.

Frank has moved from 8/1 to become the 2/1 favourite with bet365 in their next permanent Palace manager market. He has overtaken Roger Schmidt, who now sits at 4/1, as the shortest odds.

Andoni Iraola, Frank Lampard, Gareth Southgate and Jose Bordalas are the 10/1 joint-third favourites. Inigo Perez and Kieran McKenna are 12/1, just behind Spurs assistant coach John Heitinga, who is 14/1.

Adi Hutter, Marco Rose, Marco Silva and Steve Cooper are further back at 16/1. Bo Svensson, Michael Carrick and Roberto De Zerbi are all priced at 20/1, with former Spurs striker Robbie Keane at 25/1.

Julen Lopetegui, Kjetil Knutsen and Scott Parker are available at 33/1. Cesc Fabregas and Enzo Maresca are both quoted at 40/1, alongside Palace under-18s head coach Javier Alonso and Glasner's assistant manager, Paddy McCarthy, with Jose Mourinho rounding off the market at 50/1.

Frank, though, has already been cautioned that the position would be anything but simple. The club's current boss has repeatedly voiced frustration about their transfer activity.

Glasner most recently conveyed his annoyance at failing to secure Dwight McNeil from Everton on transfer deadline day. He told Sky Sports: "We are all disappointed that this deal didn't happen.

"I already planned that next day on training with him. And then, right at the end of the transfer, it can always happen on deadline day - so many things can happen that the deal doesn't happen.

"And this, I was told, is that the terms of the deal changed in the last hours. And then the time is just too short to get the deal over the line, and then the deal failed.

"I can understand that he and his family are disappointed. But believe me, I had the same feeling, because I really have a huge appreciation for him."

Glasner added: "We're all disappointed that we couldn't get this deal done. And unfortunately, it happened in the last hour. And so I can understand his disappointment. I share his disappointment."

Thomas Frank has been relieved of his duties with Tottenham Hotspur after a shocking run of form in the Premier League, and it seems as though some of his players weren't fully on board with his plans

Thomas Frank irritated his Tottenham Hotspur squad by repeatedly discussing Arsenal before his dismissal, according to reports. The former Brentford manager was removed from his position on Wednesday, just hours after Spurs suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United.

It represented the final blow following a catastrophic spell that witnessed the north London club secure just seven victories from their 26 Premier League fixtures. They also went without a win in their last eight top flight outings under Frank.

Spurs currently occupy 16th in the standings and face genuine danger of becoming embroiled in another relegation scrap after their 17th-placed finish last season. Despite their abysmal domestic record, Spurs have progressed to the Champions League knockout rounds after cruising through the league phase in fourth spot.

Nevertheless, their European achievements proved insufficient to prevent Frank's departure. Following confirmation of his dismissal, it transpired that certain Tottenham players were reportedly frustrated by his continual acclaim of their most fierce rivals.

According to The Telegraph, the Dane was 'constantly going on about Arsenal' and emphasised how impressive they were following Tottenham's humbling 4-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium in November. The report suggests that numerous players became weary of this tactic and the sentiment among some was essentially 'just shut up about Arsenal.'

Others felt 'dismayed' when photographs surfaced of Frank carrying an Arsenal coffee cup whilst walking around the Vitality Stadium ahead of Tottenham's loss to Bournemouth. He later maintained that he hadn't spotted the Arsenal emblem on the cup he was clutching, explaining: "It's fair to say that not winning every single football match, it would be absolutely stupid of me to take a cup with Arsenal on it.

"They've been in the changing room the game before us. It's normal to say 'give me a cup of espresso' before every game. I think it's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked a question like that.

"We are definitely going in the wrong direction if we are worrying about me having a cup of another club. Of course I wouldn't do that, that would be really stupid."

It's reported that memes portraying Frank as an ardent Arsenal supporter were circulated among Tottenham players and staff following that cringe-worthy incident. Just last week, the recently dismissed Spurs manager confessed that he believed some of his squad doubted his suitability for the role.

He said: "I am pretty sure there are also some players who don't think I am the best bloke or whatever it is, but as long as they work hard and do everything they can on the pitch then I am happy. Is the feeling better if everyone is aligned and happy and likes each other? Probably, but it is all about the performances on the pitch."

Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank after just eight months in charge following a disastrous run that saw them drop to 16th in the Premier League

Thomas Frank has been dismissed as Tottenham manager following their 2-1 home loss to Newcastle United on Tuesday. And if they want an immediate replacement to succeed the Dane, there's plenty of readily available options.

Ex-Brentford boss Frank was brought in last June after steering the Bees to Premier League stability, taking over from Europa League winner Ange Postecoglou. Whilst the initial matches showed some promise, fortunes deteriorated rapidly.

Following defeat to Eddie Howe's side, Spurs plummeted to 16th in the league standings on merely 29 points. With the north London derby against Arsenal looming, the club have severed ties with Frank after only eight months.

The search for fresh leadership commences and Mirror Football presents five managers who could take charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium straight away.

Xabi Alonso

Following a breakdown in relations with the Real Madrid dressing room, Xabi Alonso departed the Bernabeu by mutual agreement in January despite only arriving in May. Previously, he impressed during his spell as Bayer Leverkusen manager.

In Germany, the ex-Liverpool midfielder masterminded a remarkable 2023/24 campaign, clinching the Bundesliga crown whilst remaining unbeaten and lifting both the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup. Alonso's squad also progressed to a Europa League final.

The Spaniard is presently without a club following his departure from Los Blancos, and if Tottenham are looking to make a statement appointment, he should top their list. Prior to his Real Madrid move, he was understood to be on Liverpool's radar and remains amongst the most coveted managerial talent in Europe.

Roberto De Zerbi

Ex-Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi was in charge of French outfit Marseille until Tuesday night, when he left following a string of disappointing performances. A humiliating 5-0 thrashing by rivals PSG on Sunday proved to be the breaking point.

De Zerbi took the Brighton reins in 2022, replacing Graham Potter, and maintained the momentum established by his predecessor. Across almost two seasons at the helm, he steered them to a historic sixth-place Premier League standing and European football.

The Italian moved on after a less impressive second spell, but developed players including Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister and Kaoru Mitoma during his tenure at the Amex. He possesses proven credentials in developing emerging talent, something Spurs have in abundance, and his English football experience is evident.

Xavi

Barcelona icon Xavi Hernandez launched his managerial path in Qatar before returning to the Catalan club as boss in 2021. Throughout his spell at the Camp Nou, he delivered their first La Liga triumph in four seasons and secured a Spanish Super Cup trophy.

Xavi built his reputation not only on attractive football but also on a remarkably solid defensive record, with his side shipping just 20 goals throughout the 2022/23 campaign. He departed the Catalan giants in May 2024 following disagreements with their president and is currently available.

Bringing in the Spanish tactician would undoubtedly enthuse the Tottenham faithful, as would his attractive style of play. He has previously demonstrated faith in emerging talent, handing Lamine Yamal his debut aged merely 15.

Additionally, one of Spurs' few standout performers, Xavi Simons, would surely relish the opportunity to work under the legendary figure whose name he bears.

Edin Terzic

Whilst perhaps not the most glamorous option Tottenham could pursue, ex-Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic oversaw an encouraging two-year stint as the German outfit's head coach. Terzic started out as a scout and youth coach under Jurgen Klopp before climbing the ladder, serving as caretaker boss in 2020 and spending two years as permanent manager between 2022 and 2024.

During his tenure, Terzic steered Dortmund to DFB-Pokal glory and came within one victory of wresting the Bundesliga crown from Bayern Munich in 2023. Most notably, Dortmund progressed to the Champions League final in 2024, where they fell short against Real Madrid.

Terzic departed the club following that final defeat, prioritising the team's interests and acknowledging Dortmund needed fresh leadership after finishing fifth in the league. Such selflessness would be appreciated in north London, and the 43-year-old has demonstrated the tactical acumen required to succeed at an elite level.

Enzo Maresca

Whilst appointing former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca might not sit well with the Tottenham supporters, the Italian enhanced his managerial reputation considerably during his 18-month spell at Stamford Bridge. The west London outfit brought in Maresca following his promotion success with Leicester.

The ex-Manchester City reserve team manager steered Chelsea to UEFA Conference League glory in his debut campaign and achieved a remarkable triumph by securing the Club World Cup last summer. He was dismissed in January amid disappointing results and a communication breakdown with the club's senior management.

Maresca has been linked as a possible replacement for Pep Guardiola at City, but should Spurs seek a new manager with Premier League pedigree, he wouldn't need to relocate far.

Fans demand Pochettino return

Former boss Frank previously claimed that he could understand why fans were chanting for Pochettino to return.

Speaking last week, he said: “I met Mauricio a few times, great guy, a great coach.

“I think he’s a legend (here). I don’t think he won a trophy, but he was part of transforming the club, from where it was at that stage, to where it ended up in terms of being close to winning the Premier League title. Getting into the Champions League final.

“If you are close, then you are very close to winning it. Sometimes it’s football, it’s margins. Pochettino did a top job here and is a true legend, so if the fans sing his name it’s well deserved.”

Who next?

That's the million dollar question for the Tottenham owners. They had already spent a hefty amount securing Frank's services in the first place so they might not want to do that again.

The favourite appears to be former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi following his exit from French side Marseille. Fans are also keen to see the return of Mauricio Pochettino, albeit he remains in situ with the USA ahead of this summer's World Cup.

Why was Frank sacked?

Simply put, the North London side's Premier League form has been a real reason behind Frank's exit.

Despite having qualified for the next round of the Champions League, their domestic results have been disappointing. Tuesday's defeat to Newcastle was their eighth game without a victory in the Premier League.

It has left them 16th and just five points clear of West Ham United - and staring at the very real prospect of relegation from the Premier League.

Spurs confirm exit

Tottenham released a statement confirming Frank's exit just moments ago. It read: A statement on Wednesday read: "The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today. Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.

"However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary. Throughout his time at the Club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the Club forward. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future."
