Tottenham new manager: Marco Silva stance shared amid Ange Postecoglou sack news
Fulham manager Marco Silva has been linked with the Tottenham job amid the uncertainty surrounding Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs have decided not to sack the Australian as he’s on the verge of guiding them to a Europa League final.
They have beaten Bodo/Glimt 3-1 in the first leg and now have to go to Norway and get the job done.
Marco Silva keen on Spurs job if Postecoglou gets sacked
Silva, who has managed to punch above his weight, is not surprisingly in the conversation for the Tottenham job.
Backed by many to get relegated in the season he got them up, he managed to avoid the drop and has since made the Cottagers a mid-table Premier League side.
He’s also managed to keep Fulham competitive without spending big money on transfers despite losing a few key players.
It’s understood that should Tottenham sack their manager, Silva would be keen to take over the reins.
| Position | Team | Matches played | Points |
| 15th | Manchester United | 35 | 39 |
| 16th | Tottenham | 35 | 38 |
| 17th | West Ham United | 35 | 37 |
| 18th | Ipswich Town | 35 | 22 |
| 19th | Leicester City | 35 | 21 |
| 20th | Southampton | 35 | 11 |
That’s according to former Spurs and Manchester United scout Mick Brown, who is still well connected to the North London outfit.
“Marco Silva wants the Tottenham job,” he told Football Insider.
“No matter what we say, Tottenham is a very lucrative job and it’s one any manager would be interested in.
“They’re a big club, regardless of how well they’re doing on the pitch.
“Silva has done a very good job with Fulham, when you look at the stature of the club and the finances he has available to him, but I get the feeling he has taken them as far as they can go by challenging for Europe.
“If they don’t get into Europe, and he’s offered the job, I have no doubt he’ll take it.”
Tottenham can do much better than Silva
Tottenham, despite recent improvements under Postecoglou, must aim higher than managers like Silva if they seek to compete for major trophies and cement their status among the Premier League’s elite.
The Portuguese, while competent at Fulham, lacks the transformative vision and proven track record required to elevate Spurs beyond their current mid-tier aspirations.
His pragmatic style, effective for mid-table stability, doesn’t match the attacking, high-pressing philosophy fans crave or the tactical sophistication needed to challenge Manchester City or Liverpool.
Tottenham’s history of near-misses – Champions League final in 2019, consistent top-four finishes -demands a manager with experience at the highest level, like Andoni Iraola or even a bold choice like Xavi, who showed innovative flair at Barcelona.
Silva’s modest achievements, with no major silverware or experience managing a club of Spurs’ stature, risk perpetuating their trophy drought.
To break this cycle, Tottenham must target managers with elite credentials, capable of instilling a winning mentality and delivering the silverware their ambitious fanbase and infrastructure deserve.
