Ruben Amorim tipped for shock Tottenham appointment as Thomas Frank sack stance clear

Ruben Amorim is out of work since leaving Manchester United and has been tipped to replace Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur

Former Premier League star Sol Campbell has tipped former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim to take charge at Tottenham Hotspur as his next job. Amorim is now out of work having been sacked by the Red Devils last week, with Darren Fletcher since being installed as interim boss until a replacement is appointed.

Thomas Frank was appointed as Tottenham boss last summer following Ange Postecoglou’s departure.

Frank has been under increasing pressure since his switch to North London following his stint at Brentford, most recently overseeing a 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup.

Tottenham are also in 14th place in the Premier League table and are without a win in their last three top-flight matches.

As reported by football.london, Frank is currently fighting to save his job at Tottenham, although the Spurs boss does still have the backing from the club hierarchy.

Despite this, former Spurs and Arsenal defender Campbell believes that Amorim would be a wise choice for Tottenham to replace Frank, should they decide to make a change of manager.

“Ruben Amorim [would be the ideal manager for Tottenham]. They’ll be looking at him,” Campbell told Sky Bet.

“They’re probably talking to him now; it wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t think he’ll go back to Portugal.

"Tottenham will be talking to him to see if there’s any situation going on – there’ll be people talking behind the scenes.

“Thomas Frank is a top manager, but he’s not at Brentford anymore – it’s a different animal. Tottenham is a big club and people are demanding.

"They want success and they want to keep moving forward in a successful way. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re talking to other managers.

“Obviously, if he starts turning it around and winning games and having good performances, that helps. Sometimes you don’t need to win, but if you can have good performances and show you’re moving in the right direction, that can help.

“But they will be talking to other managers. It’s part and parcel until you show who you are and start winning on a regular basis.”
