Laudrup is a part of the past in Swansea, and Garry Monk have taken over for now. However, Swansea are looking for a new manager for the long run; Great Dane Football Blog takes a look on five prospects.

5. Garry Monk

The defender - and now manager - have spent a lifetime in Swansea, and could well keep the job after this season. Especially if he manages to keep the Swans out of the relegation. However, it speaks against Monk that he is/has been a part of the squad as he can get too familiar with the players. Furthermore, he has no managing experience, but, again, if he manages to keep the club in the Premier League he has a good chance of staying as manager.

4. Marcel Desailly

The former Chelsea defender and World Cup and Euro winner has been linked with Swansea after Laudrup's exit. The 45-year old Ghana born French ended his career in Qatar SC in 2006 and have not had any manager jobs so far. Instead, he has been working for several media and charities the last couple of years. Swansea could be a good start of his managing career, but as with Garry Monk, it speaks against the French that he has no managing experience. That said, he has a lot of routine from playing and is rated as one of the legends in football. 

1. Glenn Hoodle

The former England manager was sounded about the job three months ago, but would not be involved as long as Laudrup was the manager. The former Tottenham and Chelsea midfielder and manager is an obvious choice for Swansea, given his knowledge of the Premier League. However, the league has changed since Hoodle was in charge of a PL club. Furthermore, Hoodles style might not match the players in Swansea as the squads is now. 

Tottenham is looking for a new manager after Andre Villas-Boas left the club by mutual consent. The question is now who will take over the seat at White Hart Lane.

According to Oddschecker.com four managers are favorites to take over the job. Great Dane Football Blog is taking a look on the four names.

Glenn Hoddle

Odds: 10 

The former Tottenham midfielder with 377 caps for the club is the favorite for the job according to Oddschecker. The 57-year old manager was in charge of Tottenham from 2001-2003, where he brought them to the League Cup final, which the Spurs lost against Blackburn. Beside managing Tottenham, the Englishman have been in charge of Swindon, Chelsea, England, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers but have been without a managing job since 2006. The fact that he has a past in Tottenham speaks for Hoddle as he is a name in the club. However, as he has not been coaching for some time it can be argued that the football world has changed since 2006 and that he might not get the best out of the squad.

Michael Laudrup

Odds: 7

Michael Laudrup has made a name for himself in English football since taking over Swansea, and he has been linked with Tottenham several times the last couple of months. Already in his first season, in Wales, Laudrup managed to bring a trophy to Swansea, and the coach clearly have a talent for finding cheap players to develop with Michu as one example. Given Tottenham have spent a fortune in the summer, they could need a man as Laudrup to find the bargain deals. Furthermore, Laurdrup is still a big name in Spain why he might be able to get some Spanish stars to Tottenham. What speaks against Laudrup is his history of changing between clubs as soon as something goes against him and that he has a couple of years left of his contract with Swansea. That said, Tottenham should have the money to buy him out of that contract.

Fabio Capello

Odds: 6

With clubs as Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus as well as the English national team on his C.V. Fabio Capello would be a scoop for the Spurs. Capello will bring in some international experience and will be able to bring big names to White Hart Lane. On the other hand, the Italian is not known for bringing young talents forward. Furthermore, given Russia will be playing in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil he might not want to leave his job. Despite this, Capello would be a great name for Tottenham, and they might be able to persuade him to come back to England - this time to manage a club.

Tim Sherwood

Odds: 4

According to oddschecker.com, the interim manager at Tottenham Hotspur is also the favorite to take over the job in the long term. The Technical Coordinator knows the club from the inside and has had his daily routines around the players and have been a part of the staff under the last couple of managers. He, therefore, knows the game and the pressure in the club. What speaks against Sherwood is his lack of experience as a manager as well as his name in the football world. He is not a man capable of bringing big names to Spurs as it is right nor. However, if Spurs are ready to let him have a go this season he can turn out to be the future man. For now,  he has the next couple of matches to impress the Tottenham board.
