Marco Rose hasn’t quite found his place after leaving Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 and Gladback in 2021. The German coach has stayed in the Bundesliga, leading big clubs Dortmund (1 year) and RB Leipzig (2.5 years), but without much success. Since March 2025, Rose has been without a coaching job. When the Tottenham job was about to become available, Erling’s former coach was linked to the job, but ended up at Tudor, then De Zerbi.

With that, the Spaniard walks out into the job search queue after the end of the season, but is unlikely to stay there for many minutes.
