Tottenham considered Marco Rose as a potential replacement for Thomas Frank as the club continues to look for fresh managerial options.
According to Caught Offside, Tottenham considered former Borussia Dortmund nd RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose to the list of candidates to replace Thomas Frank. The 49-year-old German manager is considered one of the talented names in the industry, which may have seen the club make a soft enquiry.
Questions have been asked about Tottenham Hotspur and whether they are now a relegation contender after finishing the latest matchday in 16th place. Spurs are only five points ahead of 18th-placed West Ham United, as a few more bad results could drag them even closer to the drop zone.
Following a string of below-par performances, Tottenham decided to sack Thomas Frank from his role, and are already looking into the market for replacements. The idea of a permanent manager is considered for the summer, meaning they are planning to go with an interim coach until the end of the season, with the club already ruling out giving the job to Frank’s assistant, John Heitinga.
There’s an agreement in place with Igor Tudor, the Croatian boss who is out of a job since leaving Turin. The former Serie A boss will come in the capacity of an interim manager with no agreement for a permanent deal once the season ends.
Before Tudor, Tottenham reportedly considered Marco Rose as a potential option for the role, with he 49-year-old German manager also out of a job since being sacked by RB Leipzig back in March of last year. He has valuable experience to his name, following stints with Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, although with the Tudor appointment, he may no longer be an option.
Who will become Tottenham’s next manager?
There are a host of candidates in the pipeline, and it remains to be seen whether Rose is a candidate for the job in the summer. Mauricio Pochettino is seen as the frontrunner for the role in the summer, with suggestions that the Argentine coach may want to finish his task with the USMNT and the World Cup.
