Bobby Zamora urges Tottenham to give manager's job to former Spurs hero

The Premier League's ever-revolving door of managers got a new name this past week as Igor Tudor stepped up to become the new Tottenham boss until the end of the season. 

The former Juventus manager replaces Thomas Frank temporarily and will take charge of his first game on Sunday when Spurs play Arsenal in a huge North London derby. 

In the meantime, talk will continue about who will be the permanent successor to Frank and which direction the club will turn in this summer. 

After moving from one ideology to the next in terms of profile, one former club forward believes it should be time to bring back a hero from the past to give the fans something to get behind after a dismal campaign. 

Speaking exclusively to DAZN News, thanks to bingo sites UK, Bobby Zamora has championed the case for Robbie Keane to be given the chance to take the top job in North London. 

"Why not? Why not go and give it to Robbie Keane?", Zamora said. 

"I've seen him quite a bit over the last five years and kept a close eye on his development and how he's doing as a coach.

"He's gone from strength to strength and obviously had to go to other countries to go and get those opportunities. It sort of shocked me that he wanted to be a coach and didn't really get the opportunity here.

"But he went to Israel and he's obviously over in Hungary now and he's got his opportunities and he's doing extremely well. I think you can't not take note. 

"I know that the fans would absolutely love to have him there, wouldn't they?  It's one that the fans would give him extra time.  And I think that's what a manager needs certainly at Spurs at the minute. 

"That would be a good appointment. I really like Robbie and I think he's got a great future ahead of him."

Since moving into management, the Republic of Ireland's record goalscorer has carved out a successful CV for himself on the continent, winning leagues in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv and in his latest post at Hungarian side Ferencváros. 

As well as lifting the league title, Keane has also led the club to the knockout round of the Europa League, further staking his claim to be in the conversation for a return to Tottenham next season. 

He, however, reportedly remains at an outsider at this stage, with names such as Marco Rose, Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino the favourites to take on the post permanently.
