Jack Pitt-Brooke says Roberto Martinez is in the running to become the next Tottenham manager.
Spurs fired Jose Mourinho last week and made Ryan Mason their interim manager until the end of the season.
The Lilywhites are expected to name a new manager within the next few weeks.
Several names have been linked with the job and Pitt-Brooke has now added Martinez to the mix and claims that he would love the former Wigan and current Belgium boss to get the job.
He admits that Martinez is currently attached to the Belgian national team but says he might fancy a return to club football at the end of the Euros later in the year.
He also believes that Martinez’s track record with young players makes him a candidate that Spurs should really consider making their next boss.
“Roberto Martinez is a name that I’ve heard in connection with this job. Of course, he’s the manager of Belgium at the moment, but I imagine he’d fancy a return to club football after the Euros,” Pitt-Brooke said on the Ornstein & Chapman Podcast.
“I’m a big fan of Martinez, I think he’d do a really good job, he plays football the right way and he seems to have a decent track record with young players, so in that sense I think he’d tick all of the boxes, but I’m not sure all Spurs fans would agree with me.”
Having made Mourinho their manager and still not ended their trophy drought, Spurs will hope their next appointee finally brings success to the club.
Ohh just stop will you .
He lost the dressing room. What part of that don’t you understand? Didn’t you watch the CL final
Whoever comes in next I’ll get right behind him (that should come as standard) I don’t/won’t care about his history (that should come as standard too) manager of my club I’ve got your back (standard
The footy would be nice under Xavi, well I assume it might be… 🤔
Punk dele busy with his hair while his teams in a mess? Unbelievable.
Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango!!
Martinez is a good manager. I’d be ok with that appointment. Won’t change a thing though. We are still stuffed. And any manager will know this. I don’t see why anyone would want to take the job because they will end up losing their reputation.
I think the stuff with Everton is a bit unfair. They were very good the first season he was with them but then Jagielka and and the French guy who’s name escapes me got too old and over the hill.
joe Wicks – or the levy cheaper option – Mr motivator
joking apart fitness should be a core discipline, makes you wonder why/how this has slipped under the old regime,
International/national team managers should be completely of our radar .
Not good enough
Agent Mendes is on the move by offering Nunes of Wolverhampton to Tottenham chairman.
Eddie howe? Benitez? Allegri? He’s not bad. I can’t see any of them coming in
Unless he brings half the Belgium team with him I can’t see us winning much with him.
Quite right good sir!
This isn’t such a fantastical link for me. I see him as competent, did quite well with Belgium. I’m not going to say the ‘P’ word again, but boy, he should have been given time and backing to rebuild rather than go through all this cr*p…
ENIC OUT.
Oh we are making up names now, so how about Guttso, Flick, Valverde or how about Enrique. Its all tosh at the moment.
Club is likely putting out feelers who they might get and then you’ve got agents putting out their clients name.
Parody of a parody
Fanny juice to the whole lot of it at this stage
New start
We can’t get them fit a lot of this dross they needed to be removed from the team ASAP they irritate me big time look at this punk Dele busy with his hair while the team is mess just get rid of them and promote 4 or 5 young talents from the academy and start making a team of 6 or 7 1st team + plus young blood from academy and buy 3 or 4 new players you have old experienced + academy + fresh new players good to go.
I say Levy should start clearing his Poundland leftovers that been accumulated for the years before even thinking hiring new manager I can’t stand a lot of them.
The end.
Martinez managing a team that can’t defend….what could possibly go wrong??
Does no one remember his Wigan and Everton sides…defence more holes that swiss cheese😁
Somebody who could get the players fit. That would be a good start.
If money is no object, it could be Rodgers.
If money is going to be an issue, we’d be looking at the likes of Howe, Allegri or Benitez.
Either way, I think the next appointment is going to disappoint a LOT of people.
Southgate, to defensive NO
Martinez, cant coach defence NO
Gerrard, will be at Rangers until Liverpool becomes available NO
Parker, to early for him NO
Benitez, uninspiring would organise us but NO
Nuno Espirito Santo, have you seen wolves without Jota & Jimenez. NO
Bielsa, tactic- Run around like headless chickens NO
Hassenhuttle, ship at least 7 goal in a game once a season team starts well drops off 2nd half NO
Howe, NO
Simeone, Not leaving Athletico for spurs NO
Moyes, NO
Potter, NO
Dean Smith, Villa are shite without Grealish NO
Rodgers, not leaving Leicester this season especially if they get champions league NO
Which leaves all free agents – Allegri, Sarri, Rangnick,
Hasn’t been mentioned yet but would also through Xavi in that list, he has got his licences and a season under his belt in Qatar, unbeaten and learnt from Pep at the school of Barcelona
Kill me…
