Tottenham could pursue Thiago Motta as a potential replacement for Ange Postecoglou following the Italian’s sacking at Juventus.
According to Tuttosport via Sport Witness, Thiago Motta could have made it to Tottenham’s list of managerial targets ahead of the summer. Ange Postecoglou’s time at the club could come to an end after the season, as the 42-year-old manager recently sacked by Juventus could be a realistic target.
Tottenham’s season hangs in the balance with their Europa League campaign. Winning the second-tier European competition would propel them to new heights and allow the club to enter next season’s Champions League, which will be a monumental achievement given how their campaign has been overall.
Should they bow out of the competition in the upcoming games against Eintracht Frankfurt, their season will unravel, especially Ange Postecoglou’s future at the club. Tottenham are already having doubts about the Australian’s future, with Daniel Levy unlikely to flinch in sacking the manager in an instant.
Tottenham are already been linked with a host of names in the market with Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner the latest on their list. The Eagles are eager to keep hold of the Austrian, while Bournemouth are also keen to tie down Spurs’ top target Andoni Iraola for the long term future.
The latest name on their list is that of Thiago Motta, with these links coming at the back of reports stating Tottenham were looking abroad for Postecoglou’s replacement. The 42-year-old was recently sacked by Juventus in the aftermath of a slow season, as the former Bologna boss is available in the market.
Will Tottenham target Thiago Motta?
Tottenham have good connections in Italy, and that could have given them a better picture of what they can expect from Motta. The report does not explicitly state Spurs are chasing the 42-year-old, although they do mention he could be a potential option for them to consider.
Tottenham could evaluate their options carefully before investing in another new manager, although the initial reporting points towards their preference for a Premier League manager. As for Motta, the 42-year-old could be tempted by the prospect of joining a big English side, although he’s also expected to have multiple offers from Serie A.
