Tottenham next manager: Eddie Howe odds slashed after latest
Tottenham could soon see another change in the dugout as top bookmakers shorten Eddie Howe's odds to replace Roberto De Zerbi.
Spurs' poor start to the new season continued as they lost 3-1 to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
De Zerbi's future has been widely debated over the last few weeks, with the Lilywhites now out of the cup and sitting 17th in the Premier League after four games.
The Italian could soon be relieved of his duties despite being handed a lucrative five-year contract upon appointment in March.
Howe is out of work right now, and some top UK bookmakers believe that his chances of replacing De Zerbi in North London have improved over the last 24 hours.
The former Newcastle manager is taking some time out to recharge after five years on Tyneside, but would surely be tempted back into management by Tottenham.
Eddie Howe sees Tottenham manager odds slashed to 11/2
Howe stepped down as Newcastle boss just weeks before the start of the new campaign as he felt he had taken their team as far as he could following five years in charge.
The Magpies' tough summer window likely fuelled his decision, but the 48-year-old's exit was mainly put down to a lack of energy and needing some time out of the game altogether.
Howe did do an impressive job at St James' Park overall, with PL clubs likely to be interested in hiring him if they want a dugout change.
Several top bookmakers have drawn up odds on his next job, with two companies slashing his price to take over at Spurs to 11/2 in the last 24 hours.
When could Spurs sack De Zerbi?
De Zerbi is set to be given some time to turn results around in North London, with a big clash against fellow strugglers Aston Villa coming up this weekend.
The three-week international break is coming at a good time for the Italian, with the pressure off and more chances to implement how he wants to play on the training pitch.
Sources have exclusively revealed to Football Insider that Spurs are likely to sack De Zerbi in mid-November if they do want to make a change.
That would be when the second international break of the season is underway, with Howe a potential contender to take over if so.
