Inzaghi and Tottenham agreement claim made ahead of Champions League final
Simone Inzaghi’s Champions League run has seen him rise in Tottenham’s shortlist to replace Ange Postecoglou.
The Spurs manager faces a summer of uncertainty after both winning the Europa League but also guiding the club to their lowest ever Premier League finish.
Daniel Levy did not offer any reassurance to the Australian with his recent statement, and has been busy scouting candidates to step in to the Spurs dugout.
Inzaghi is one of the names that has caught the eye since taking charge of Inter Milan in 2021, leading the club to two Champions League finals in three years.
No agreement between clubs yet despite interest in Inzaghi
Levy will hope to seize on Spurs’ qualification for Europe’s premium competition and use it to attract the highest calibre of managers to North London.
| Manager | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points Per Game | Titles |
| Inzaghi | 141 | 41 | 34 | 2.15 | 6 |
Inzaghi, 49, fits the bill as he has forged a stellar managerial career in Italy, winning three Supercoppas, two Coppas Italia, and a Serie A title.
As reported by Linterista (26 May), Libero Journalist Fabrizio Biasin claimed on Canale 5 that despite his success piquing Tottenham’s interest, no official agreements have been made.
Biasin said: “At the moment, he has no agreement with any club. Many suitors, not only Saudi Arabia, clubs also in Europe.
“Names? Among others, there is also Tottenham. After the Champions League final, he will meet with Inter to find an agreement to continue together.”
Levy will keep a keen eye on developments at Inter over the coming weeks, with the final against PSG at the Allianz Arena set for next Saturday (31 May).
Inzaghi’s credentials make him a good fit for Spurs
The Italian manager, who will look to repeat the Nerazzurri’s 2009 Champions League success, has won many plaudits for his man management and tactical nous.
His Inter team have reaped praise from the likes of Pep Guardiola for their excellent organisation and defensive structure while offering a huge counter-attacking threat through dynamic fullbacks.
His ability to operate under financial constraints while maximising his aging players’ potential would fit Spurs’ financial model.
The former Lazio manager’s reputation could also go a long way in attracting new players to join the Londoners, while convincing key players like Cristian Romero to stay.
