From Brendan Rodgers to Julian Nagelsmann – top contenders for the Tottenham job

Jose Mourinho has been sacked as Tottenham manager after a run of one win in six games.

Mourinho was brought in to replace Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 and left the club days before they face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at possible contenders to replace him.

Julian Nagelsmann

Massimiliano Allegri

Brendan Rodgers

Scott Parker

Mauricio Pochettino

This would be a left-field appointment given it is less than 18 months since he departed, but Pochettino should not be ruled out of making a quick return to Spurs. Both Pochettino and Levy have spoken openly about their admiration of each other, with the Argentinian and his assistant Jesus Perez both saying that they will return to the club one day. This time may be a bit too soon, especially with Pochettino in a job at Paris St Germain and it would take some climbdown from Levy, but it would be an appointment that would go some way to appeasing a disgruntled fanbase.
