Next Spurs boss: Title winner Arne Slot the favourite ahead of Brendan Rodgers

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot is the new favourite for the Spurs job as Julian Nagelsmann is seemingly ruled out.

Rankings are on the best odds available from Oddschecker.

1) Arne Slot
Manager of the new Dutch champions Feyenoord and current favourite for the Spurs job. As former Tottenham goalkeeper Michel Vorm said: “If you see how they did last season and then now they’ve won the title. He’s done an amazing job and for me he would definitely be a good fit.”

2) Brendan Rodgers
Straight in at second favourite on the day he got mutualled by Leicester and then promoted to first favourite when Chelsea sacked Graham Potter and targeted Nagelsmann. Has hovered around the top five ever since.

His last win as Leicester boss was actually a 4-1 dismantling of Spurs, which is funny if probably irrelevant. Pros: might bring James Maddison with him. Cons: is Brendan Rodgers.

On the list of ‘Potential Spurs managers who are suddenly available’, Rodgers still feels a lot more plausible to us than Nagelsmann, but what do we know? And also, Brendan Rodgers would honestly be a pretty good Spurs manager – better than most Spurs fans are willing to admit.

3) Xabi Alonso
Assorted reports in the Netherlands claim the Bayer Leverkusen manager is the leading candidate for the Spurs job after just a few months in senior management have seen him reach the Europa League semi-finals and take Leverkusen to the verge of European qualification again.

4) Thomas Frank
About to finish a season ahead of Chelsea with Brentford, which is some kind of sorcery even with the Stamford Bridge club in a mess. “Thomas Frank is a name that increasingly keeps coming up in conversations as someone who Tottenham have an admiration for. I would go as far as to say that Brentford are even anticipating an approach for Thomas Frank,” said one journalist.

5) Graham Potter
The further away from Potter’s sacking at Chelsea we move, the more credible this seems again.

6) Ryan Mason
Definitely shouldn’t happen, but absolutely could. Already clear he should have been handed the interim anorak when Conte huffed off, and it turns out spending every press conference saying how much you love the club rather than how much you hate it can actually have a positive effect on the mood. In fairness, the 31-year-old has shown plenty of promise in both his caretaker Spurs stints and there’s definitely a future manager there. Has shown more tactical flexibility in four games than Conte did in eight months, and a Dier-less 4-4-2 resulted in a rare clean sheet against Crystal Palace.

7) Mauricio Pochettino
This just feels cruel.

8) Ange Postecoglou
At some point he will surely make that leap. Just as Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard did before him. But Spurs? That would be a giant leap.

9) Ruben Amorim
Described as “in the mix” by Jack Pitt-Brooke, the Sporting boss would cost a fair whack in compensation but has the whiff of Mauricio Pochettino.

10) Oliver Glasner
Back in the betting after Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed he will leave at the end of the season after a mid-table kind of season.
