Tottenham discuss Roberto De Zerbi and Portuguese manager, says Fabrizio Romano
Fabrizio Romano has provided a big update on Tottenham’s search for a new permanent head coach amid Roberto De Zerbi links.
Over the last 48 hours, it has been widely reported that Spurs could replace Igor Tudor with another interim appointment before the Lilywhites take to the field next against Sunderland on April 12.
The club are also working on a long-term option to take over in the summer, with some sources suggesting that Roberto De Zerbi is Tottenham’s top target.
Other reports have maintained that Mauricio Pochettino remains the name at the top of Spurs’ wishlist, but it appears that another Premier League manager may be on the Lilywhites radar.
Tottenham holding discussions over a move for Marco Silva
Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to confirm that Tottenham are continuing to assess the best candidate for the permanent role.
He claims that the situation will ‘evolve’ over the coming days and suggests that De Zerbi remains the club’s preferred candidate.
However, interestingly, Romano adds that Fulham boss Marco Silva is also a name which has been discussed internally at Tottenham.
Silva was among the names that Spurs considered appointing last summer, before they eventually decided to bring Thomas Frank through the door.
Romano has now said on X: “Tottenham keep assessing internally best options for managerial situation to evolve in next days/summer. Roberto De Zerbi, favorite candidate from June and Italian manager open to discuss from summer. Marco Silva also being discussed internally.”
Another Premier League manager is also on Spurs’ radar
Silva is not the only Premier League boss liked by Tottenham, who are also eyeing a move for a highly-rated young manager, whose stock has grown rapidly in England over the last couple of years.
Andoni Iraola continues on Spurs’ wishlist as the Spaniard’s current deal with Bournemouth runs out this summer.
However, the Cherries boss is not expected to make a final decision on his future before the end of the season.
