Tottenham Hotspur have made a managerial change this week.

Thomas Frank has left and Igor Tudor has arrived, albeit on a temporary basis.

Indeed, Tudor has a contract at Tottenham until the end of this season, and, from there, Spurs will look to rebuild and move forward after what has been a dire 18 months.

Igor Tudor has been announced the Tottenham interim boss…

How do YOU see his reign panning out? 👀

Tudor may have only just arrived, but, already, there is speculation around who the next man in could be.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Tim Sherwood has made a very confident prediction on who Tottenham’s next manager will be.

Tim Sherwood says Mauricio Pochettino will be next at Tottenham

Sherwood spoke about Tottenham’s situation after the arrival of Igor Tudor.

The pundit admitted that he isn’t sure on Tudor, while he confidently claimed Mauricio Pochettino would be arriving in the summer.

Indeed, Sherwood went as far as to say that Pochettino would 100% join Tottenham at the end of the season.

“I don’t think they wanted to sack him, I really don’t. I think if they kept hold of him, they would stay in the Premier League anyway, but they’ve gone totally left field with the appointment of Igor Tudor,” Sherwood said.

“It might work, it might not. I mean, but I just think it was inevitable that he was going to lose his job.

“We know who’s coming in in the summer. It will be Pochettino, 100%. I don’t think the club will be brave enough to turn to anyone else. I think they should look at elsewhere. I think there is other options out there, but the pressure on another man getting that job and losing two games and then the crowd saying, well, you had the opportunity to bring Poch back, it’s impossible for them to look elsewhere. I don’t think they will.”

Premier League managers who went back for second spells

The old saying is ‘never go back’ in football, and, most of the time, that is good advice.

Indeed, many managers who went back into old jobs failed miserably – Quique Sanchez Flores and Kevin Keegan can attest to that.

However, others have had brilliant two-spell reigns at certain clubs. David Moyes at both West Ham and Everton has bucked this trend, while Jose Mourinho won the Premier League title in both spells at Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochettino would be a risky appointment due to the fact he’s not tasted much success in recent years, but, as Sherwood says, fan sentiment is sending a clear message, and it is the logical decision at this point.
