Julian Nagelsmann Emerges as Favorite for Tottenham's Next Manager

Julian Nagelsmann has become the bookies' favorite to take up the managerial reins at Tottenham, with odds of 10/11, following his shock sacking by Bayern Munich and the subsequent appointment of Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel had been of interest to Spurs, but talks had not yet taken place due to Antonio Conte's expected sacking still being finalized. However, Bayern acted quickly to avoid missing out on their preferred target.

Nagelsmann was previously targeted by Spurs when Jose Mourinho was sacked two years ago, but he chose to join Bayern from RB Leipzig instead. If Spurs again fail to secure his services, then Ryan Mason remains the likely candidate to take charge on a temporary basis. Fan-favorite Mauricio Pochettino also remains in the running, having reportedly expressed a desire for a reunion with the club that sacked him three and a half years ago.

Bookmakers have also added Feyenoord manager Arne Slot to the list of potential candidates after he impressed by guiding his team to the top of the Eredivisie. He was previously in the frame for the Leeds job earlier this season, but talks broke down.
