Tottenham highlight 'ideal candidate' to 'usher in a new era' after Thomas Frank
An experienced Italian coach is seen as the ideal manager to replace Thomas Frank at a struggling Tottenham Hotspur.
Over the last few days, it has emerged that Tottenham have been speaking to Mauricio Pochettino about returning to the club, but the Argentine is not likely to be available until the summer.
Roberto De Zerbi is also thought to be on Spurs’ wishlist, but it has been claimed by some sources that the former Marseille boss is also not keen on an immediate managerial return.
A new report has claimed that it is not De Zerbi, but another Italian who is at the top of the Lilywhites’ wishlist.
Tottenham view Enzo Maresca as the ideal man for the job
Sportitalia say that contrary to the rumours linking De Zerbi with a move to N17, it is Enzo Maresca who has emerged as ‘the hottest name for the Spurs bench’.
The report says that the former Chelsea boss, who left Stamford Bridge at the start of the year, is seen as the ‘ideal candidate to usher in a new era’ at Tottenham.
After exiting the Blues, it is revealed that Marseca is keen on working ‘in a contest more consistent with his ideas’.
Tottenham view the 46-year-old as someone who can give the team a clear identity and build a lasting project at the club.
The qualities of Marseca that Spurs like
SportItalia say that Tottenham find Marseca particularly attractive because of the way he develops players, and the team’s mentality at Chelsea.
Spurs are also attracted by Marseca’s ability to work with young players and improve them through the integration of ‘modern methodologies, tactical focus, and team management skills’
The Lilywhites want the former Leicester boss to be at the helm of an ‘ambitious sporting project’ at N17.
