Daniel Levy keeping tabs on three managers as possible replacements for Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham’s season hasn’t gone to plan this time around as we lie 14th in the Premier League.
Spurs haven’t pushed on from the Champions League final from last season, and have lost a lot of ground in the race for the top four.
We have also exited the Carabao Cup in the first round to Colchester and lost 7-2 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Tottenham are also without a win in their last five Premier League games, and the Telegraph (h/t Express) claims that Mauricio Pochettino could be sacked if we don’t beat West Ham.
The report claims that Daniel Levy is reluctant to pay Pochettino’s £12.5m compensation fee, but is keeping tabs on three managers.
Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe is one candidate as the Englishman has brought the Cherries up from the lower leagues to the Premier League.
RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann is another option, and his new team have done well in his first season in charge.
The third option, according to the report, is England manager Gareth Southgate.
Tottenham have other options too
Sacking Pochettino midway through the season could also see other managers take up the role.
The report adds that Max Allegri and Jose Mourinho are free agents in the manager market.
Allegri left Juventus at the start of the season and was replaced by Maurizio Sarri while Mourinho hasn’t managed since the Red Devils sacked him last year.
Pochettino is still one of the best in the business but he needs to turn our season around fast.
