Tottenham hero in shock running for Premier League job after major exit news
Daniel Levy has seen plenty of managers come and go at Tottenham in recent years.
Levy has never quite been able to get his managerial appointments right. Since Mauricio Pochettino’s exit in 2019, the 63-year-old has appointed four permanent managers.
They include Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte and of course, Ange Postecoglou, who was recently dismissed, with Levy now set to hire his fifth manager in almost six years.
And one of Spurs’ former managers is now in line to make a return to the Premier League after a major exit update, which Tottenham are at the centre of.
Pochettino in the running to replace Thomas Frank at Brentford
Postecoglou may have won silverware with Tottenham, but Pochettino is still considered one of Spurs’ most successful managers in recent history.
The Argentine spent five years in North London, turning Tottenham into Premier League title challengers and leading the Lilywhites to their first-ever UEFA Champions League final.
| Manager | Games | W | D | L |
| Mauricio Pochettino | 293 | 160 | 60 | 73 |
Five months after the final, Pochettino was sacked with Tottenham 14th in the Premier League standings. However, the 53-year-old is now line to make a shock return to the Premier League to take over from Thomas Frank at Brentford.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano via X (10 June), Frank has an agreement with Tottenham to succeed Postecoglou.
This means Brentford will need to find a new manager of their own, and Bet365 have Pochettino at 25/1 to take over from Frank at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The 53-year-old currently manages the United States, but it would be a delight for Premier League fans to see him make a return to England, and it would certainly be quite a coup for Brentford.
Tottenham must trust Frank
Six managers within five years has most definitely contributed to Spurs’ inconsistency in recent years.
Therefore, Levy needs to stick by his decision this time.
If Frank is going to succeed in North London, he will need both time and resources, something Levy hasn’t been too keen to offer previous managers.
