Tottenham Hotspur announced on Sunday that their interim head coach has left by mutual consent after 44 days in charge.
Nine head coaches have either been sacked or have left a Premier League club by mutual consent this season. Can you guess all nine?
Spurs may choose to look further afield – but their current options, within the search parameters as they were a month ago, appear limited.
In addition to a track record of having an immediate impact, Spurs sought someone with top level managerial experience who plays attacking football.
When Spurs initially began their search to replace Frank, himself dismissed after less then eight months in charge, former Marseille boss Roberto de Zerbi, former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic and ex-Red Bull Leipzig boss Marco Rose were among the other potential short-term options.
Ex-Brighton boss De Zerbi left his role as manager of Marseille by mutual consent after just under two years in charge, three days before Spurs confirmed their appointment of Tudor.
Terzic has been out of work since asking Dortmund “to terminate his contract with immediate effect” in June 2024, after leading the club to the Champions League final.
Rose was sacked by RB Leipzig in March 2025, having won 72 of his 127 matches in charge and lifted the German Cup in 2023.
Within the Premier League, Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva are among the names who will be available this summer – but would any be prepared to leave their respective clubs earlier to help Spurs’ cause?
FA Cup-winning manager Glasner has confirmed he will leave Crystal Palace this summer, but his immediate future was understood to be in doubt in February amid a poor run of results.
Bournemouth are reportedly set to, external open contract talks with Iraola in an effort to ward off interest from Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Fulham chief Tony Khan has said he is confident, external Silva will stay at the club “for a long time”.
Northampton Town have sacked boss Kevin Nolan following a run of only one win in their past 16 league matches.
The Cobblers are 23rd in League One, three points from safety, having scored only 31 goals in 36 matches, the second lowest total in the league.
They drew a blank in what proved to be Nolan’s final game in charge, losing 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon on Sunday.
Technical director Colin Calderwood has been put in charge on an interim basis, assisted by Ian Sampson, both ex-Northampton managers.
“We will always be grateful to Kevin for his hard work here, he helped keep us up last season and we enjoyed a strong first half of this season,” chairman Kelvin Thomas said in a statement., external
“But since Christmas the sequence of performances and results have led us to believe a change is in the best interests of all concerned.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Colin’s experience, supported by Ian Sampson and the rest of the staff to look after matters on an interim basis.”
Nolan’s departure came on the 129th anniversary of Northampton’s formation and they are the 10th League One club out of 24 to part company with their boss this season.
BRITNEY Spears’ manager has slammed her DUI arrest, branding it inexcusable.
Britney, 44, was busted by California Highway Patrol on Wednesday night, with a representative now speaking out, vowing that the singer will “make a long overdue change”.
Britney’s manager Cade Hudson broke his silence hours after the arrest
In a statement to The U.S. Sun, he said: “This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable.
“Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.
“Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.
“Her boys are going to be spending time with her.
“Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”
TMZ have since reported Britney spent some time at a hospital early Thursday morning.
She spent time here because California Highway Patrol officers “transported her there to draw her blood”.
The outlet claims she did not sustain any injuries, and the hospital visit was “purely to determine her blood alcohol content”.
The singer was booked into jail at 3am, records indicate. She was later released at 6am.
On the booking documents, the star’s occupation is listed as “celebrity.”
TMZ report that Britney was “very emotional while being processed” at the Sherriff’s Office.
Sources told the outlet she was “crying a lot”.
After her arrest, Britney’s car was taken to a Thousand Oaks towing yard.
She is expected to return to court on the morning of May 4.
Her arrest comes as The California Post exclusively revealed that cops have been called to Britney’s home 14 times in the past two years.
Records obtained by The Post show 14 calls to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department made since Jan 1, 2024.
The most recent call logged was for a “trespassing in progress”, which around midnight on October 23, 2025.
The month prior was for a a wellbeing check, which was reportedly listed as canceled.
The outlet also report several calls made to the cops in August 2025, with one listed as trespassing in progress.
Another wellbeing check was carried out in July 2025, which was the first call to cops since March of that year, which was for a “silent alarm”.
December 2024 saw cops called for an “audible alarm” and in November of that year there were two wellbeing checks logged.
In October 2024, the cops went to Britney’s home for a “suspicious subject” after a “subject disturbing” two months prior.
In recent hours, she also deleted her very active Instagram account.
This isn’t the singer’s first run-in with officials.
Just last year, cops were called about her “dangerous behavior” on a plane.
Britney reportedly caused a scene when she started drinking while flying home on a private jet with her security from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in May 2025, TMZ reported.
Flight attendants were reportedly shocked when she pulled out a cigarette and lit it mid-flight.
Though she put out the cigarette when asked. cops still confronted her when she landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
She was reportedly issued a warning, and then allowed to go free.
Britney was placed under a conservatorship in 2008. Her now-estranged father Jamie was appointed as her conservator, and handled all her personal and financial affairs.
After years of objection and a public legal battle, the #FreeBritney movement exploded onto social media.
Thirteen years after it began, a judge officially terminated her conservatorship on November 12, 2021.
