Tottenham have new top manager target to replace Ange shared by “sources”

Tottenham Hotspur appear to have a new top manager target to replace Ange Postecoglou, according to an ex-scout’s “sources”.

Tottenham manager rumours with Ange under big pressure

It hasn’t been a second season at Spurs to remember for Postecoglou, although there is still the chance he delivers on his claim of winning a trophy in his second year.

Tottenham, who sit in the bottom half of the Premier League and have done so for large parts of the season, are still in the Europa League and will take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.

There have been a number of managers named as candidates to take over from Postecoglou, though, should Daniel Levy and co decide to make a change in the dugout.

Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino recently hinted at the chances of a return to north London, saying: “Look, when I left the club I always remember one interview I said I would like one day to come back to Tottenham and that is of course.

“I am in the USA, I am not going to no, I’m not going to talk about that, but what I said then still after six years or five years, I still feel in my heart that, yes, I would like one day to come back. We see the timing, like Daniel said.”

Meanwhile, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola was also linked, however, Football Insider think the Cherries boss would be willing to snub Tottenham in favour of staying at the Vitality Stadium.

Marco Silva now top Tottenham manager target

Another manager rumoured to be of interest to Spurs is Marco Silva, who guided his Fulham side to a 2-0 win over Tottenham prior to the international break.

Now, talking to Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown has heard from his “sources” that Silva appears to be the new leading target for Tottenham.

“Tottenham, unless they put a run together from now to the end of the season, you would think that things might happen [to Postecoglou] there in terms of the sack for the manager.

“Silva would certainly be top of the pops in terms of competition for that [managerial] spot, that’s what I’m hearing from my sources there.”

The 47-year-old has been at Craven Cottage since 2021, and during that time, has taken Fulham back to the Premier League from the Championship and established them as a topflight club once more.

Now pushing for European football with Fulham, Silva is also attracting interest from Juventus

, so if Spurs do want him as Brown claims, they may need to act over the coming months instead of waiting and can do so by activating his £6m release clause.
