Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a ‘huge’ contract offer for Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, according to InterLive.
The Lilywhites have reportedly identified the Italian tactician as their ‘ideal’ replacement for Ange Postecoglou and are ready to offer him a ‘top manager’s salary’ to convince him to move to North London.
Inzaghi’s contract at San Siro expires in June 2026, and while there has been speculation over a renewal, InterLive suggest a potential farewell may be on the cards for the 49-year-old coach.
Inzaghi has no shortage of admirers in the Premier League and was linked with the Manchester United job earlier this season, before they appointed Ruben Amorim on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Tottenham Want to Appoint Simone Inzaghi
Spurs’ pursuit of the Italian coach ‘getting hotter’
According to InterLive, Tottenham’s interest in Inzaghi is ‘getting hotter’ as the summer transfer window approaches, with the club continuing their search for Postecoglou’s successor.
The Australian tactician is set to leave Spurs regardless of whether they qualify for next season’s Champions League by winning the Europa League, with their dismal domestic campaign a particular point of concern.
Tottenham are now heading for their worst finish in Premier League history as they sit 16th in the table with three games remaining, having won just once in their last nine matches.
The Lilywhites have never finished outside the top 15 since the competition’s inception in 1992/93.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Tottenham have won just 11 of their 35 league games this season.
Inzaghi, praised as 'one of the best coaches in Europe', could still lead Inter to a double this season as the Nerazzurri are second in Serie A with three games to play, three points behind leaders Napoli.
Inter also face Barcelona at home in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday and remain hopeful of reaching the final after an entertaining 3-3 draw in the first leg.
