According to various reports Maurizio Sarri is in contention for the Tottenham hot seat. Italian journalist Carlo Laudisa was apparently on Radio Punto Nuovo and a move to Tottenham was deemed the most plausible option to the former Juventus coach. The Sun go on to say that Arsenal are close on Spurs’ heels when it comes to looking for a new manager, and this could add to Daniel Levy’s woes.
For my money, Sarri would be a dreadful fit for the profile of players in our squad. Many of them didn’t care for Pochettino’s demands and few were keen on José Mourinho’s methods either.
There remains the business of the optics – Sarri has an excellent pedigree – but does Daniel really want a stone-faced chain-smoker in his technical area, as ‘face’ of the club? Perhaps not.
Levy needs to get the right man in, and before Spurs’ get involved in any preseason football.
