Fabrizio Romano reveals where Tottenham stand on Enzo Maresca talks amid rumours
Fabrizio Romano has revealed whether Enzo Maresca is potentially in line to be the next permanent head coach of Tottenham Hotspur.
Igor Tudor has taken the reins at Spurs until the end of the season after the club decided to put Thomas Frank out of his misery last week.
Tottenham’s decision to appoint the 47-year-old has been questioned by some pundits, but the Lilywhites will hope that the Croat’s experience of taking charge of clubs in crisis mid-season will hold him in good stead at N17.
Reports indicate that Spurs have told Tudor he is unlikely to get the permanent job, with Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi emerging as the two top targets for the Lilywhites.
Have Tottenham contacted Enzo Maresca over their managerial vacancy?
Some outlets have suggested over recent days that Spurs have identified Maresca as their ideal candidate to bring a clear identity to the club.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that the Italian, who left Chelsea at the start of the year, has not had any contact with the North London club.
He adds that the 46-year-old remains the leading candidate to take over at Man City if Pep Guardiola departs in the summer.
Romano wrote on X: “No talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Enzo Maresca so far despite recent links. Understand Maresca remains the clear leading candidate to be next Manchester City head coach..when/if Pep Guardiola decides to leave.”
Spurs have spoken multiple times to Mauricio Pochettino
Meanwhile, it has been reported over recent days that Tottenham have contacted Pochettino multiple times since the start of the year regarding returning to N17.
In fact, GiveMeSport have asserted that Spurs are working around the clock to finalise an agreement with Pochettino, who has emerged as the consensus candidate as the club looks to restore its identity.
Meanwhile, some sources indicate that the former Spurs manager would jump at the chance to return to N17, five and a half years after his departure.
However, a recent report claimed that Tottenham may have competition from Real Madrid in the race for Pochettino.
