Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Italian manager Maurizio Sarri.
The 65-year-old Italian manager is currently without a job after resigning from his position as the head coach of Lazio earlier this summer. According to a report from Fichajes, a mediocre start to the season has prompted the club to look at potential solutions and they are keeping tabs on the former Chelsea manager as an alternative to Ange Postecoglou.
It would be extremely surprising if the London club decided to make a move for the 65-year-old in the near future. Postecoglou has done reasonably well at Spurs so far and there is clear improvement under him. They have impressed with their playing style under him as well. The Australian manager has brought in several talented young players and Tottenham will have to give him the time to build a formidable side.
It seems unlikely that Daniel Levy will abandon the current project and move for another manager any time soon.
Meanwhile, the report states that Everton are keen on the former Chelsea manager as well. Sarri has managed big clubs in the past and there is no doubt that he could be an interesting acquisition. He has managed in the Premier League before and he helped Chelsea win the UEFA Europa League.
It will be interesting to see if Postecoglou can silence his critics in the coming months. If the results do not improve, there will be further speculations surrounding the Australian manager’s future at Tottenham. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
