Spurs have reportedly approached 63y/o under-contract Italian boss, he has responded positively – originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to The Transfer Window podcast, Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini as they continue their search for Jose Mourinho’s permanent replacement.
Ryan Mason has taken charge of the team on an interim basis, and while he is reportedly under consideration for the job, Spurs would ideally prefer someone with experience.
While Gasperini does not fit the ‘young and dynamic’ model they are looking for, his recent achievements with Atalanta appear to have caught the eyes of chairman Daniel Levy.
A leading agent in Europe has informed the 63-year-old of Spurs interest and he has responded positively.
Gasperini plays a possession-based football, favouring the 3-4-3 formation and high-octane pressing style, and the lure of managing in the Premier League could attract him to the Tottenham job.
With Atalanta punching above their weight in the Serie A despite a limited transfer budget, the veteran manager could be the perfect man for Levy.
The former Inter Milan and Genoa manager was named Serie A Coach of the Year in 2019 and 2020 after leading his side to third-placed finishes.
Atalanta are currently second in the Serie A as they eye another top-four finish, and he could get Tottenham challenging for silverware and Champions League football again.
