According to Fichajes, Tottenham are assessing the market for options to replace Ange Postecoglou in the summer. Xavi Hernandez is now the latest on their list, although Spurs must battle at least two other big teams if they wish to land the 45-year-old former Barcelona manager.
Tottenham are set for another pivotal summer that could see a change in the managerial hot seat. The future of Ange Postecoglou is growing uncertain with each passing day, with suggestions that the Australian will be sacked irrespective of how Spurs perform in the Europa League.
Some notable names are being mentioned as potential replacements for the Australian, with Fulham’s Marco Silva one of the top candidates. Other names like Andoni Iraola are linked alongside Oliver Glasner, while Thomas Frank is also a reported target for Spurs.
Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi was also linked, and bringing the Italian tactician will be seen as a big coup for the North Londoners. The latest name on their list is that of 45-year-old former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, with the Catalan coach out of a job since leaving the club in the summer.
Tottenham had Xavi on their list for some time now, and it appears, they will have to battle it out in the market to secure his signature in the summer. Chasing the Catalan represents the idea of keeping the attacking DNA of the club intact, and improving in many areas of the pitch.
Tottenham must overcome the challenge posed by two clubs Bayer Leverkusen and Al-Hilal. The latter are always looking out for progressive names, and the ready availability of Xavi does make him one of the top candidates for the Saudi Arabian side.
Leverkusen are also interested in Xavi as they are expecting his former Spanish teammate Xabi Alonso to depart the club in the summer, probably to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. Hence, for Spurs to land the 45-year-old former Barcelona manager, they have a big battle with some of the notable sides in Leverkusen and Al-Hilal.
