Reports are circulating from @LastWordOnSpurs. They cite new market data from @OddsChecker and show a massive shift in the betting. Marco Rose has now emerged as the clear ‘odds-on’ favourite for the open manager job at Tottenham Hotspur. The update points to a specific part of his game plan that the Spurs board seems to like.
Marco Rose Leads Race for Spurs Job
Rose reportedly demands that his teams move the ball forward fast. He tells players to take a shot as quickly as possible, the moment they win the ball back. This link suggests the North London bosses are hunting for a new leader. They want someone who brings direct, high-energy football to save a season that has gone completely off the rails.
A High-Risk Gamble for Survival for Tottenham
The mood at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is still sour. This follows the expected firing of Thomas Frank. His messy eight months in charge leave the club sitting in 16th place, just five points above the relegation zone. At 49 years old, Marco Rose is a bold, maybe even desperate, gamble.
The German coach is currently available after leaving RB Leipzig. He champions a footballing identity built on extreme verticality and aggression. Frank’s team really lacked these traits. Unlike the last manager, who wanted to control the game with passes, Rose loves ‘Gegenpressing’. He basically demands that his players hunt the ball to cause chaos for the other team.
Is he the right man for a relegation scrap?
Honestly, this move looks very risky. Rose’s plan needs perfect fitness and a team that work as one. Spurs just don’t have those luxuries in the middle of a crisis. Bringing in a coach with such fixed ideas to fix a broken defence could blow up in their faces.

This is especially true if the players can’t handle his high defensive line right away. Still, the idea makes some sense. If Spurs are going to struggle, the fans would much rather see them go down fighting than give up. Rose will definitely put up a fight. However, whether he can keep them in the league is the real question.
