Next Tottenham manager odds: Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti in the running

Tottenham are looking for a new manager following the decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, alongside his coaching staff Jesus Perez, Miguel D’Agostino and Antoni Jimenez.

Speculation on the Argentine's future has been rife following a difficult start to the season, which has seen last season's Champions League finalists fall 11 points behind the top-four after just 12 matches.

Pochettino will certainly live long in the memory for those in North London, taking Spurs from Champions League hopefuls to regulars in the competition and establishing the Lilywhites as one of the titans in English football.

All good things must come to an end though and the bookies have shared the odds on who they believe will be his successor, with a familiar face leading the way.

The latest odds from SkyBet show that Jose Mourinho is the favourite to take the reigns in North London at a price of 1/4, followed by another former Chelsea manager in Carlo Ancelotti at 6/1.

Former Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez is 7/1 to make a swift return to the Premier League, while former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is 18/1.
