“I think that might be where Spurs go” Ex striker says Tottenham might not appoint a popular manager

Former Aston Villa striker, Gabby Agbonlahor has tipped Tottenham to name an unknown quantity as their next manager.

The Lilywhites have been on the lookout for a new boss for some time now and haven’t been successful.

They have completed plans to bring former Juventus administrator, Fabio Paratici to London.

He is expected to take charge of the search for a new manager from Daniel Levy.

The Italian would have a powerful network that can help Tottenham land one of the best managers around Europe.

However, Agbonlahor tips them to have a strange summer because of a lack of funds.

He says the Lilywhites are more likely to bring in an unknown manager like Wolves did when they brought Nuno Espirito Santo to England.

He is convinced that Paratici will know a manager that may not be renowned, but can come to England and get the job done at Spurs.

“It might be a manager out there that we don’t know of that might get the job,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.

“I think that might be where Spurs go.

“We hear of these new managers who come and do well. Look at Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves. Nobody had heard of him and he came in and did a great job.

“There are managers out there that the sporting director will know.

“I can just see Spurs are not going to give a manager loads and loads of money. Whatever manager comes in is one that will have to accept that and a top manager won’t accept that.

“It’s going to be a strange summer for Spurs.”
