Pochettino, De Zerbi, Redknapp: Who will replace Tudor as Spurs boss?

Tottenham Hotspur have opened the search for a new manager after parting ways with Igor Tudor, and the early shortlist already features three headline-grabbing candidates: Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi and Harry Redknapp. The trio represent contrasting profiles—club legend, progressive tactician and experienced Premier League operator—leaving the club’s hierarchy with a pivotal decision that could shape the direction of the North London side for seasons to come.

Pochettino’s return would mark a sentimental homecoming for the Argentine, who previously guided Spurs to a Champions League final and established a high-pressing identity that resonated with supporters. De Zerbi, currently turning heads on the continent with his possession-heavy, fluid system, offers a forward-thinking blueprint that aligns with modern tactical trends. Redknapp, the wily Englishman who once steered Tottenham into the Champions League quarter-finals, brings institutional knowledge of the Premier League and a proven ability to galvanise dressing rooms.

With no further details released regarding a preferred timeline or additional candidates, speculation will intensify around which of the three will ultimately inherit the dugout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
