Spurs Sack Sherwood: THREE Possible Replacements For Daniel Levy To Consider

It has been coming, but Tottenham announced that Tim Sherwood was sacked yesterday. After a turbulent season at White Hart Lane, the north London club will be on the lookout for a new manager, so here are three they should be looking at.

1) Thomas Tuchel

Tuchel is a tactical genius, and one of the best at that side of the game. In the 2010/11 season he guided Mainz, who were newly promoted to the Bundesliga, to seven straight victories from their first seven league fixtures, which included an away victory against Bayern Munich. They eventually finished fifth.

He looks to disable opponents and is extremely flexible with his tactics, and would turn Spurs into a top four side, I am sure of that. If I was Daniel Levy, Tuchel would be my first choice.

2) Frank De Boer

The Ajax coach has done wonders at the Amsterdam Arena, leading them to four straight Eredivisie titles. He has continued the fluid style of football that the club is renowned for and has done so with the club's prosperous youth academy.

Although it is unlikely that he would want to leave the club, I would certainly be going out to appoint him if  I was Levy.

3) Antonio Conte

Like de Boer, Conte has guided his side to straight league titles, though Conte has managed just three - so far - with Juventus. He is tactically shrewd, willing to experiment and knows how to get results.

Spurs fans, who would you want?

I personally would like to see Rafa Benitez given the Spurs job - the three candidates you mention all seem to be good managers on paper, but the stumbling block is that none of them have ever managed in the Premier league (and managers as well as players have to adapt to it).
Rafa Benitez is a proven and successful Premier League manager - he won the Champions League whilst at Liverpool, he saved Chelsea after their disasterous Champions League Campaign under Roberto Di Matteo, by winning the Europa League with them. He has also just had a fantastic season with Napoli, guiding them to victory in the Coppa Italia and getting them to the last 16 in the Europa League as well as finishing third in the league to secure them with Champions League football next season.
And this is without mentioning his other successes as a manager/coach which include : Two League titles with Castilla B in the late 1980's, Twice Winners of the Spainish Under 19's cup in the early 1990's, Two La Liga titles and a UEFA Cup win with Valencia, The FA Cup, Community Sheild and UEFA Super Cup as well as the CL title (mentioned above) with Liverpool, and winning the Italian Supercup and FIFA World Club Cup with his time at Internazionale.

He more than qualifies to take Tottenham to the next level and he no-nonsense approach with players, makes them learn to respect him as he is able to get the best out of them and turn them into winners.

I agree with the Benitez suggestion. He would be the ideal manager for Tottenham, someone who would be able to take them to the next level. If he gets given a nice transfer budget of 50-70 million pounds then spurs could well be a force next season. From the increased revenue from tv right this seasonhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27411682. Showing that spurs made 89.7 million, up 33.8 million from last year I can see why the board can't back whoever the new manager may be with 50-70million.
