Spurs Hunt for New Manager: Pochettino Return Eyed
12 Feb
Summary
- Tottenham seeks a new manager to replace Frank, aiming for an appointment by Monday.
- Mauricio Pochettino is a long-term target, potentially available after the World Cup.
- Amidst managerial search, rumors persist that Tottenham is up for sale.
Tottenham's leadership team is tasked with appointing a new manager, aiming to have someone in place by the time players return on Monday. The club is considering an interim option until the end of the season, possibly John Heitinga, who recently joined as an assistant coach. This approach allows time for more strategic long-term decisions.
A primary long-term target is Mauricio Pochettino, whose return to Tottenham is a strong possibility after the World Cup. Supporters also desire his return, making it seem like an ideal match. However, Tottenham must wait until after the global tournament to pursue this option.
Other potential candidates for the summer include Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and Marco Silva, all of whom would be available at no transfer cost. Additionally, World Cup coaches like Carlo Ancelotti and Julian Nagelsmann could also become obtainable. The recent availability of Roberto De Zerbi, who left Marseille, presents an immediate option for Tottenham, noted for his ability to make an instant impact, a quality desired given the club's recent struggles.
Amidst the on-field difficulties and managerial search, persistent rumors suggest Tottenham could be sold. However, staff have been reassured that the club is not for sale, aligning with public statements, despite industry whispers of the Lewis family's openness to selling.
