Europa League-winning boss reportedly applies for Spurs job, Liverpool legend under consideration – originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to 90min, former Chelsea and Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri has applied for the Tottenham Hotspur managerial job, and the club have not turned the Italian down yet.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is said to be under consideration as well.
Spurs are looking for a new manager after parting ways with Jose Mourinho a week ago.
Ryan Mason is in temporary charge of the squad until the end of the campaign, but he is not likely to be given the job permanently with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy keen on someone with the needed experience to lead the side to the next level.
Spurs 13-year wait for a trophy continues after they lost yesterday’s League Cup final to Manchester City, and they need to get their next managerial appointment right.
Sarri helped Chelsea win the Europa League in his only season in the Premier League and he won the Serie A with Juventus the following campaign.
The former Napoli manager knows how to win silverware when put in charge of a brilliant squad, and he has everything it takes to help Tottenham end their silverware drought.
AS Roma are also keen on the Italian, but the chance to prove himself in England again could lure him back to the Premier League.
Gerrard recently helped Rangers end Celtic’s domestic dominance in Scotland, leading them to their first Premiership title in a decade.
While the Liverpool legend wants to manage in the Premier League someday, whether Levy is keen to give him that chance right now remains to be seen.
The English top-flight is on a different level compared to the Scottish top-flight and Gerrard’s managerial experience is still very much limited despite his huge potential.
Spurs have to get a new manager in place before the summer transfer window opens, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with.
