Ever since the sacking of Harry Redknapp, the question on everyone’s mind is "who will be the next manager to take hold of the reins at Tottenham Hotspur?" Last season, Tottenham went on to have a very anti-climatic season. At one point, they were serious
title contenders and looked set to finish above Arsenal, something they haven’t achieved in decades. However, Tottenham choked towards the end of the season, having finished behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 at fourth, and still not being able to get that glorious Champions
League spot due to Chelsea winning the European title.
Harry Redknapp was sacked by the club after nearly four years with the North London side on 13th June. Despite having taken the team to a top four finish and the Champions League, Redknapp was not handed a new contract and was released.
Now, a number of possibilities exist for Tottenham Hotspur, with Andres Villas-Boas leading the pack. The young Portuguese manager had experienced great success at Porto, leading them to the treble and then moved to London to manage Chelsea, which unfortunately
didn’t work out as he would have wanted. The manager was sacked by the club midway through the season after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 dropped down the league table.
Villas-Boas has shown he is quite capable of winning titles, as proven by his time at Porto. However, Tottenham fans will have some reservations after witnessing his fall at Chelsea. With Tottenham’s current line-up, AVB will relish the challenge as the
current players possess the pace and ability that will suit his playing style and mentality.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Martinez is another candidate for the job. Having saved Wigan from relegation, time and time again, and beating the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United last season, the Wigan boss may just be amongst the many who could take charge at the club
next season.
Martinez is known to play fast-paced and attractive football and has plenty of experience in the Premier League. Wigan have been a fairly average side, always managing to escape relegation season after season. It’s an interesting thought what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 would
do with a better team at his disposal that is more equipped to play the football he relishes.
Rafa Benitez, the ex-Liverpool manager is also a surprise candidate. After leaving Liverpool, the Spaniard moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy will try not to miss out on signing Benitez,
who almost led Liverpool to the Premier League title in 2009 and won the Champions League with the Merseyside club in 2005. Benitez is a proven tactician and manager, with vast experience in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see the ex-http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809
manager in North London and how he will add to the current Tottenham squad.
Laurent Blanc, the former French national team manager, was also recently linked to the Tottenham job. The French manager helped his country go 22 games without a loss and has been responsible for the rejuvenation of the French side after a disappointing
World Cup campaign.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757. Though still
unlikely, it remains to be seen whether Blanc would consider moving to Norh London.
Tottenham are going to need to step up their chase to landing a new manager, sooner rather than later, considering the fact that the Premier League season is set to kick start in a month and a half.
With ample candidates to pick from, it is now up to the Tottenham hierarchy to pick the manager who they deem most worthy of leading the team to success.
