A "phenomenal" manager is now keen on replacing Thomas Frank as Tottenham Hotspur manager.
Spurs identify multiple targets as search for Frank replacement continues
Speaking on The Overlap, Ange Postecoglou stated the decision to sack Frank was correct, but also suggested there are deeper issues at boardroom level, saying: "At the start of the year they sort of said, compete on all fronts. Well, the club hasn't competed on all fronts for a very long time. And you also, you know, the most influential person at the club [Daniel Levy] for the last 20 years is also going.
"Now, did Thomas know he was walking into that? I don't know. And it's a fair departure from me."
As such, if Tottenham are going to be successful, ENIC may have to make major changes, but getting the next managerial appointment right is also of key significance, and a number of targets have already been identified.
However, with the north Londoners potentially in a relegation battle, bringing in an interim manager until the end of the season is also an option, and Ferencvaros boss Robbie Keane was named as a target yesterday.
According to a more recent report from Sky Sports, Keane is keen on returning to Tottenham, but he would only be interested in taking the job permanently, rather than on a temporary basis.
With the Irishman pushing to win the league title with Ferencvaros for the second time, it would be strange to leave to take an interim role, and former defender Michael Dawson has suggested he should be given the job permanently.
Dawson said: "I can't see him leaving Ferencvaros in the middle of the season but why not give it to him on a permanent basis.
"They've tried Jose Mourinho, they've tried Antonio Conte and Thomas Frank. There's a disconnect between the players and the fans and that can't be the case. The situation Spurs are in, they have to be together from top to bottom."
As a player Keane is one of the greatest goalscorers in men's international football history, ranking in the top 30 with 68 goals - ahead of players like Mohamed Salah and Didier Drogba.
Keane could be "phenomenal" appointment for Spurs
The 45-year-old is still in the early stages of his managerial career, but he is certainly showing encouraging signs, averaging a 65% win rate across spells with Ferencvaros and Maccabi Tel Aviv, having won 77, drawn 22 and lost 19 of the 115 matches he has contested.
Ferencvaros won the Hungarian league title under the helm of the former Spurs striker last season, and they are on course to become champions again, with his side currently top of the table.
CBS Sports analyst Charlie Davies is also an admirer of the Ferencvaros boss, and praised him for the "phenomenal" job he's done in Hungary.
Of course, moving to Tottenham would be a big step-up, but Keane has earned the opportunity to prove himself at a top club.
