Tottenham’s managerial search might be holding up Italian teams from getting new bosses of their own.
The Lilywhites have been in search of a new manager since they fired Jose Mourinho and haven’t found one yet.
They have been linked with a move for several managers, including at least two from Italy.
Former Chelsea bosses, Maurizio Sarri and Antonio Conte have both been linked with reports suggesting that they even held talks with the latter.
Sarri has been out of a job since Juventus sacked him at the start of last season and several teams have approached him.
Lazio is the latest club to make an approach for him, but he is reluctant to accept the offer and the negotiations aren’t making serious progress.
Italian agent, Massimo Brambati, has now speculated that the delay in Tottenham naming a new boss could be holding things up for Serie A clubs with the likes of Sarri waiting to see if the Lilywhites will make them their next manager.
“I only know that the president of Tottenham, with Paratici, who not having reached an agreement with Conte, has the spotlight on various managers,” Brambati said on Tutto Mercato Web Radio.
“I don’t know if this delay depends on Tottenham’s interest in Sarri. I don’t understand why all this delay. These unsigned encounters do not bring Lotito very good news, see what happened with Inzaghi.”
