Incredibly, Graham Potter’s old assistant head coach at West Ham United , [Bruno Saltor](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-backroom-turmoil-how-coaching-changes-are-holding-the-club-back/), is now running Tottenham’s coaching sessions during the international break whilst the Hammers’ relegation rivals ‘prepare’ to make a new appointment.
West Ham opted to part ways with Potter back in November – which suddenly looks a sensible decision when compared to Tottenham’s procrastination for months over firing Thomas Frank: Had the north London side done the same instead of ducking the issue for months you can’t help but think they’d be out of relegation danger by now.
West Ham will be hoping the chaos continues for a while yet: There is of course no guarantee that the Spuds will get their appointment right this time around. The ‘shortlist’ apparently has at least ten names on it. According to [footballlondon.com](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/tottenham-next-manager-live-dezerbi-33649922#3908344):
_“Spurs expect to appoint a new head coach in the next couple of days to be in place when the players are back from international duty, giving them 10 days to work together. Bruno Saltor has remained and will lead training for those handful of players at Hotspur Way at the moment.”_
Which sounds like a rudderless ship at present at this crucial stage of the season. **Roy Keane, Harry Redknapp, Sean Dyche, Adolf Hütter**, **Mauricio Pochettino** and bookies’ current favourite **Roberto De Zerbi** are all on the ‘shortlist’: Suddenly West Ham’s procession of four coaches in two years isn’t looking quite so chaotic.
Hopefully Nuno’s calm, measured approach will compensate for any Spurs’ ‘new manager bounce’: Tottenham have thirteen days to try and sort it all out.
