Next Tottenham manager twist as Daniel Levy weighs up Ange Postecoglou’s future

Tottenham Hotspur could be about to miss out on an alternative to Ange Postecoglou as chairman Daniel Levy continues to ponder the Australian’s future in north London.

Postecoglou was figurative dead man walking until the Europa League final in Bilbao a couple of weeks ago. Since then, the former Celtic boss’ standing has risen among supporters and Levy is pondering whether or not to part ways with the 59-year-old.

Football.london understands that a decision is yet to be made but that it is not lost on the Spurs chairman how much backing Postecoglou still has in the dressing room. The squad are believed to be particularly grateful for how their manager protected them in the media despite a poor Premier League campaign.

If Levy was to decide that a new manager is the best course of action for the club, the logical next question would be on who should be brought in to replace Postecoglou. Fulham’s Marco Silva has been heavily linked with the job but it appears that Spurs could be about to receive competition for him.

According to The Mirror, Serie A giants Juventus have turned their attention to the former Everton boss as they look to appoint a new manager. It is claimed that the Turin club wanted to hire Atalanta’s Gian Piero Gasperini but AS Roma are ahead of them in that race.

Silva is seen as their next best option but Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal are also keen on him. Fulham’s owner Tony Khan is thought to be working hard to keep Silva at Craven Cottage but may struggle to meet the financial firepower of Al Hilal, Juve and even Spurs if they are on the hunt for a new boss.

Spurs’ next competitive fixture will be on Wednesday, August 13 when they take on PSG in the UEFA Super Cup. The Super Cup pits the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League against each other.
