Tottenham next manager round-up: Marco Silva close, Pochettino in conversation
Tottenham have been in the news a lot recently as Daniel Levy looks to hire a new manager after sacking Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian manager was relieved of his duties in N17 despite winning the Europa League, with some unhappy about the decision.
Thomas Frank and Marco Silva have been heavily linked with Spurs, and Pochettino’s name has also been mentioned as a potential return may be on the cards.
Silva close to reaching Tottenham agreement
Silva is close to reaching an agreement with Tottenham to replace Postecoglou ahead of next season, according to Record.
The news outlet reports (7 June) reports that the Portuguese head coach is on the verge of taking charge of the North London outfit.
It’s been claimed that the Fulham boss will be the Australian manager’s successor in N17 if everything goes to plan.
Spurs clear-out expected after Frank appointment
Bryan King expects a massive clear-out at the North London outfit once Frank is appointed.
The ex-Spurs scout believes the Brentford boss will want to have his own staff and players at the Lilywhites, potentially leading to several exits.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, King said: “If Frank comes in, or any manager for that matter, they’re going to want their own staff, there’s going to be a clear-out.
“Any new manager who comes in will want to know what players are staying, who he can bring in, he will want to see the structure of the football club, and there will be staff changes, that’s for sure.”
Pochettino in contention for Tottenham return
Pochettino’s return to Tottenham shouldn’t be ruled out, Harry Redknapp says.
The ex-Spurs boss had a conversation with one of his friends about the possibility of the Argentine head coach returning to N17.
Redknapp would be pleased to see the USMNT boss back at the North London outfit after a relatively impressive stint.
Speaking via The Standard (7 June), the Englishman said: “A friend of mine rang me and said, you know, what about Pochettino going back there? It’s possible. I wouldn’t write him off. Naturally, I’d be pleased.”
