Tottenham Hotspur sat top of the Premier League table not so long ago, but they’re now sat in mid-table.
Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Manchester City leaves Spurs in 9th place in the Premier League, meaning they have gone from top to 17 points adrift of leaders City in a matter of months.
Jose Mourinho suddenly finds himself under pressure from segments of the Tottenham fanbase, having lost six of the last 11 Premier League games.
Spurs have only won three times in that run, and are struggling for goals having found the net just three times in the last five outings.
Mourinho doesn’t appear to be in danger of losing his job in the near future, but the Daily Mail report that Tottenham do admire some other managers.
Brendan Rodgers is one of the targets having excelled as Leicester City boss, though any move wouldn’t be able to happen until the summer.
Rodgers has Leicester sitting third in the Premier League table, level on points with second-placed Manchester United whilst pushing an attractive brand of football fueled by talented young players.
Spurs fans have now been taking to Twitter to react to the Rodgers speculation, with some feeling that the job is too big for him.
Others doubt that he would even leave Leicester for Spurs any time soon, with some calling him ‘class’ and possibly even better than RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann.
