Tottenham boost in Francesco Farioli chase
The manager has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur recently, and the development will become a major boost for the Premier League club. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for Farioli now.
The 36-year-old Italian manager is reportedly a serious target for them this summer.
Tottenham need a new manager
It is no secret that they need a quality manager in the summer. Ange Postecoglou is likely to be shown the door, regardless of how Tottenham finish the season. They are currently in the final of the UEFA Europa League, and they could secure Champions League qualification for the next season if they win the tournament.
However, Postecoglou has failed to get the best out of his players, and a fresh start would be ideal. Farioli has impressed at Ajax, and he could prove to be an interesting alternative. The opportunity to manage the Premier League could be exciting for him as well.
Tottenham have a talented squad at their disposal, and the right manager could bring out the best in them. They are expected to fight for domestic trophies consistently and compete in Europe. Farioli will look to help them win trophies if he joins the club.
