5 Minute ReadTottenham Next Manager Odds: De Zerbi Leads Kalshi Market as Tudor Gets the Axe After 44 Days
Three managers in one season. Tottenham sacked Igor Tudor on Sunday, ending a 44-day stint that produced one win in seven matches and a Champions League exit to Atletico Madrid. The 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend dropped Spurs to 17th, and Tudor leaves by mutual consent following the death of his father. Daniel Levy's club is now staring at their first relegation since 1977 with seven games to play. The next appointment could determine whether Tottenham Hotspur is a Premier League club next season.
The Kalshi market on "Who will be the next manager of Tottenham?" has drawn over $36,000 in volume, and the field is starting to narrow. Roberto De Zerbi sits at 35%, with Mauricio Pochettino at 15%, Robbie Keane and Ryan Mason tied at 12%, and sportsbooks offering Sean Dyche as a joint 6/4 co-favorite alongside De Zerbi. Spurs have gone winless in 2026, sitting on 30 points from 31 matches. That's their lowest tally at this stage of a season since 1915. The only team in the Premier League without a single win this calendar year.
Whoever takes this job inherits a squad one point above the relegation zone, a fanbase chanting for managerial heads, and a two-week window before the next match at Sunderland on April 12. The international break gives the board time to act, and the odds reflect a split between hiring a firefighter now and locking in a long-term appointment for the summer. Here's where the market stands and what each candidate brings to the table.

Tottenham Next Manager Odds Breakdown
Roberto De Zerbi - 35% Chance Bet on Tottenham Next Manager Odds with Kalshi Here
De Zerbi is the Kalshi favorite and the sportsbook co-favorite at 6/4 for a reason. The Italian transformed Brighton into a Europa League qualifier, built one of the most tactically exciting sides in Premier League history, and left the south coast with a reputation as one of Europe's best young coaches. He departed Marseille by mutual consent in February after a turbulent Ligue 1 spell, and Fabrizio Romano reported this week that De Zerbi has repeatedly declined Spurs' approaches for an immediate appointment. His preference is the summer, if Tottenham are still in the top flight.
That caveat is what makes this market interesting. Kalshi's price for De Zerbi, 39 cents for Yes, shows where the betting public's confidence sits: he's the board's long-term choice. Reports from The Telegraph on March 27 say Tottenham are pushing for him to come in as soon as possible, but multiple sources confirm he won't budge until the season ends. If Spurs go down, the deal almost certainly falls apart. Anyone buying Yes shares is betting on two outcomes: Tottenham surviving relegation AND De Zerbi following through on a summer commitment. That's a lot of "if" baked into 35 cents.
Mauricio Pochettino - 15% Chance Bet on Tottenham Next Manager Odds with Kalshi Here
The romantic return. Pochettino took Tottenham to a Champions League final in 2019, built an identity the club has been chasing through five managers since, and remains the name that fills the most seats in any "next Spurs manager" conversation. He's currently managing the USMNT into a home World Cup, with his contract running through at least July 2026. That timeline makes him a summer option at best, and even then, abandoning a national team job mid-tournament would be career-damaging.
The market is cooling on a Pochettino return, not heating up. Kalshi has him at 15 cents for Yes, down three cents recently. Manchester United have also been linked with the Argentine, and Spurs would need to survive on a caretaker until the World Cup wraps up. Then they'd need to outbid United and convince Pochettino that this broken squad is worth his time. The emotional pull is real, but the logistics make this a longshot. At 15 cents, you're paying for nostalgia more than probability.
Robbie Keane - 12% Chance Bet on Tottenham Next Manager Odds with Kalshi Here
The former Spurs striker is currently managing Ferencvaros in Hungary, and his name keeps appearing alongside Crystal Palace and Celtic vacancies too. Keane was a prolific scorer across two spells at White Hart Lane, and the board reportedly considered him as one of several familiar faces who could provide continuity during the transition. At 7 cents for Yes on Kalshi, he's a deep value play that depends on sentiment and board politics more than managerial credentials.
Keane has never managed in the Premier League. His coaching career includes the Indian Super League, the League of Ireland, and now the Hungarian top flight. For a club fighting relegation in the biggest league in the world, the jump from Ferencvaros to saving Tottenham's Premier League status is massive. The betting public knows this, and the price reflects it. You're buying a lottery ticket here, banking on the idea that Levy wants a club legend in the dugout to rally the fanbase through seven brutal weeks.
Ryan Mason - 12% Chance Bet on Tottenham Next Manager Odds with Kalshi Here
Mason has done this before. The former Spurs midfielder managed the club on an interim basis in 2021 after Jose Mourinho's sacking, going 4-2-1 in seven matches including wins over Sheffield United and Wolves. West Brom sacked him in January 2026, making him available and familiar with the club's infrastructure. At 10 cents for Yes on Kalshi, he's priced as a low-probability play, but his odds carry a different kind of logic than the other longshots.
If the board decides they need someone who can walk into Hotspur Way tomorrow, know every player's name, and not waste a single day of the international break on introductions, Mason is the only candidate who checks every box. He's 33 years old, he came through the academy, and he managed the transition between Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo without the wheels falling off. The downside is obvious: hiring Mason signals that the board is out of options, not that they've found the right one. His Kalshi price reflects a very specific scenario where Levy punts on familiarity over pedigree.
With Tudor gone and the international break ticking down, Spurs need a name by April 12. Whether that's a firefighter like Dyche grinding out points until summer, or the board convincing De Zerbi that joining a relegation fight is worth the risk, the market is moving in real-time. Seven games to save their Premier League status, and the next manager's first task is the most important one: making sure Tottenham Hotspur doesn't drop to a Championship club.
