A former Arsenal man is being considered to take over as Tottenham Hotspur’s permanent head coach in the summer.
Igor Tudor is not expected to remain at Tottenham beyond the summer, with the Croat only being handed a five-month contract without an option of an extension.
Several sources have said that Mauricio Pochettino is Spurs’ top target to take over in the summer once his contract with the United States runs out after the World Cup.
Roberto De Zerbi is also allegedly near the top of Tottenham’s wishlist, but it has now emerged that a young Serie A coach is also under consideration by the club’s hierarchy.
Cesc Fabregas could get the Tottenham managerial job
TEAMtalk say that Cesc Fabregas is emerging as one of the most sought-after managers in the world, and his name is now being discussed by Premier League clubs, including Spurs.
The Arsenal legend has done an exceptional job since taking over at Como in 2024, with the club now sitting in sixth place in the Serie A table and mounting a charge for Champions League qualification.
This has brought him to the attention of Tottenham, who are weighing up an approach for the 38-year-old among several other candidates.
Spurs will face competition for Fabregas
TEAMtalk say that Fabregas’s strong connections with Arsenal and Chelsea during his playing career are not expected to be a barrier for the Lilywhites should they decide to make an approach.
However, Spurs are not the only Premier League side eyeing the Spaniard ahead of the summer.
Fabregas is on Man City’s radar as a potential option to succeed Pep Guardiola, while Chelsea also considered their former midfielder before they eventually hired Liam Rosenior at the start of last month.
