Thiago Motta has 'immediately jumped to second' on Tottenham Hotspur 's manager shortlist to replace Ange Postecoglou, according to Tuttosport. Fabrizio Romano wrote in his GIVEMESPORT column last month that Postecoglou is under pressure heading towards the summer following a poor season, with his future potentially depending on how their Europa League campaign pans out. Winning the competition is the aim and Spurs need to win in Germany next week following their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg in north London on Thursday night.
Tottenham Interested in Thiago Motta Tuttosport report that Tottenham are about to part ways with Postecoglou with the club sitting 14th in the Premier League standings, having lost 16 of their 31 top flight fixtures this term. The report says that while AFC Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola is in pole position to replace the Australian manager at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Motta has jumped into second place following his recent sacking by Juventus. The Serie A side will be keeping a close eye on developments involving the 42-year-old coach, as they could save €15m (£13m) should another club appoint him and take his wages on.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Thiago Motta drew 17 of his 42 matches in charge of Juventus this season. Following a successful spell with Bologna, things didn't work out for Motta in Turin and he was sacked last month with the club adrift in the Italian title race, as well as being knocked out of the Champions League by PSV Eindhoven. Tottenham Really Like Iraola and Marco Silva While Motta appears to have come onto Tottenham's radar in recent days, Iraola has been something of a longer-term target should Spurs and Daniel Levy decide a change of manager is needed.
Romano wrote for GIVEMESPORT that Iraola would indeed be the north London outfit's first choice to replace Postecoglou should he be sacked, with the Spaniard having a release clause worth between £10-11m.
