Arsenal great, Sol Campbell, has suggested that former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim could be lined up as a potential replacement for Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur.
Campbell shared his thoughts following Spurs’ 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round over the weekend, a result that has intensified scrutiny on the club’s direction.
Speaking to Sky Bet, the former England defender claimed Tottenham’s hierarchy may already be exploring alternative managerial options, with Amorim, who was dismissed by Manchester United just a week ago, firmly on their radar.
“Ruben Amorim. They’ll be looking at him. They’re probably talking to him now, that 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.”
Campbell’s comments highlight the pressure surrounding the Tottenham job, with expectations for immediate progress and consistency continuing to shape discussions behind the scenes.
