TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Champions League finalists Inter Milan are keen on appointing Tottenham’s managerial target.
Simone Inzaghi guided his team to the final, beating tournament favourites Barcelona along the way in a thrilling two-legged semi-final.
However, Inter Milan were thrashed 5-0 by PSG in the final on Sunday night, in what was an extremely one-sided final.
The Italian club are now looking to replace Inzaghi and TBR Football understands that they have sights set on an in-demand Premier League manager also linked with Tottenham.
Fulham boss Marco Silva attracting interest from Inter Milan
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Marco Silva is now being considered as a replacement for the Italian at Inter Milan.
Silva turned down a move to Al-Hilal, a club who have been actively searching for a new manager.
Inzaghi now looks set to move to Saudi Arabia to join them, leaving a big vacancy at Inter Milan.
There is interest from Juventus as well as Tottenham, who have been keeping an eye on Silva as a possible replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
However, Spurs will find hiring him a bit more expensive compared to others. TBR Football previously reported that the release clause in Silva’s contract is considerably less for a foreign club than if an English side makes an approach.
Meanwhile, it is said that Fulham are hopeful that the Portuguese will extend his stay with the London side.
Tottenham’s managerial situation remains uncertain
The future of Ange Postecoglou remains uncertain with the club not having decided on the Australian’s future yet.
Tottenham had a dismal season domestically, with the club finishing 17th in the league. Spurs suffered 22 defeats in the Premier League, the most ever by a manager in one season. They were also knocked out of all domestic cups.
A sacking looked certain but Tottenham’s successful European campaign may have saved the manager.
Ange guided the club to their first silverware since 2008, as Tottenham beat Man United in the Europa League final. It was also Spurs’ first European trophy since 1984.
With Ange delivering Tottenham a trophy, it may have made Daniel Levy’s decision to replace him a bit difficult.
If they are to replace Ange, Silva remains firmly on Tottenham’s radar with meetings held between Levy and Silva. However, the chances of Ange staying at Tottenham have increased.
