Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has become the new favourite to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, according to Betfair.
Spurs have endured a miserable Premier League season under head coach Postecoglou, with the north Londoners one spot above the relegation zone.
There is only one top-flight fixture remaining and it is now mathematically impossible for the so-called ‘Big Six’ club to finish any higher than 14th.
Spurs could save their season if they get their hands on the Europa League trophy, with Postecoglou’s side facing a final against Manchester United.
If Spurs lose the Europa League final on Wednesday, though, it is thought that the club may decide to make a managerial change in the summer.
Burnley head coach Scott Parker was the previous favourite but Glasner has now become a 3-1 shot after guiding Palace to FA Cup glory this term.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: ‘Oliver Glasner is the new 3/1 favourite to be the next Tottenham manager after leading Crystal Palace to a historic FA Cup win on Saturday.
‘Glasner, who was 5/1 prior to lifting the trophy, is followed by Thomas Frank and Scott Parker at 6/1, with Simone Inzaghi 13/2 to replace Ange Postecoglou.
‘Andoni Iraola joins former favourite Mauricio Pochettino at 9/1 to become Spurs’ next manager, with Roberto De Zerbi 11/1 to return to the Premier League.
‘Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna is amongst the outsiders at 12/1 to move to north London.’

Sam Boswell, spokesperson for BetVictor, added: ‘Crystal Palace will still be riding the high of Saturday’s FA Cup win, but manager Oliver Glasner may have his sights set on bringing silverware to another part of London.
‘The Austrian boss has seen his odds to replace Ange Postecoglou at Spurs slashed.
‘Should Spurs lose the Europa League final, those odds may shorten further as they look for the right man to bring silverware back to north London.’
Glasner only arrived at Selhurst Park in February 2024 – replacing Roy Hodgson – and has already become a Palace legend by leading the south London club to their first ever major trophy.

The 50-year-old Austrian previously managed German side Eintracht Frankfurt from 2021 to 2023, winning them the Europa League title.
His trophy record appears to have impressed the Spurs hierarchy, who are desperate to bring silverware to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs haven’t landed a major trophy since the League Cup in 2008 when they beat Chelsea in the final.
Football pundit Roy Keane, a United legend who supported Spurs as a boy, is backing the Red Devils to win this week’s Europa League final in Bilbao.
‘You still have to fancy United, someone like Bruno [Fernandes] can produce, the history of Manchester United still carries a little bit of weight,’ Keane told Sky Sports.
‘There’s not much between them [in the league] but come the crunch, come the final, United’s history in finals, them winning cups the last few years…
‘You’d like to think they would have a bit more knowledge around the game than Spurs.
‘That might edge it for them, and I think Bruno can produce that bit of magic.’
