Former Tottenham Hotspur scout Bryan King believes that there was an obvious manager for the club, and it wasn’t Roberto De Zerbi.Tudor’s time at Spurs was cut short on Sunday after he managed to pick up just one point in his five Premier League games in charge since replacing Thomas Frank.A whole host of managers were mooted as potential options to take over from Tudor, as Tottenham try one final roll of the dice in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation.Some sources said that Spurs might look to bring in a current coach and a fan favourite as his assistant to unite everyone at the club.However, it looks like Roberto De Zerbi is now the favourite to land the Tottenham job.Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty ImagesBryan King claims Chris Hughton can save Tottenham from relegationIt had been reported last week that Tottenham were considering turning to Chris Hughton, who spent 13 years as a player at the club and later served as an assistant to Martin Jol at White Hart Lane.King believes that the 67-year-old was the right man to sort out the mess at Spurs, even though he has not held a managerial job in English football since exiting Nottingham Forest in 2021.The former Spurs scout told Tottenham News: “I worked with Chris when I was at Tottenham, and he was the assistant to Martin Jol. He’s very knowledgeable, and he’s a Spurs man.“The situation isn’t only the manager, but they need someone to come in who will get a reaction from the players. It will be interesting to see how he would get on.“He’s a good man, but Chris’ first job would be to sort out the back room, that’s as much of a problem as on the pitch. I just think he will have to come in as manager and help restructure the club in a massive overhaul.”Who else were Spurs looking at?Some reports suggested that Tottenham may turn to Sean Dyche as a temporary option, given the Englishman’s experience in getting teams out of relegation trouble.According to some sources, Tottenham also held talks with experienced Austrian coach Adi Hutter about taking charge of the club’s final seven league matches.Other names included Robbie Keane, Harry Redknapp, Sean Dyche, and Tim Sherwood, but De Zerbi looks to be the firm favourite at this point.READ MORE: ‘Progress matters’ – Three Tottenham fan groups say no to Roberto De Zerbi due to ‘culture risk’The post Tottenham told they may have missed a trick not hiring 'proper Spurs' man over De Zerbi appeared first on Spurs Web.
