Tottenham Hotspur make contact with former Chelsea boss

Tottenham Hotspur have supposedly stepped up their quest for another manager by making contact with ex-Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.

Tottenham sacked Jose Mourinho on Monday, less than 18 months after appointing  the former Chelsea boss as Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement.

The unexpected announcement was made only six days before the North London side’s EFL Cup final clash with Manchester City.

Tottenham have moved quickly to put coach and ex-player Ryan Mason in charge on a caretaker basis until the end of the season.

As indicated by Football Italia, Tottenham desire to have another manager in place by summer, and Mauricio Sarri appears to be their main decision.

It is asserted that the Lilywhites have effectively made contact with Sarri’s representative Fali Ramadani to enquire about his accessibility.

The 62-year-old has been unemployed since being sacked by Juventus last August, but he is still actually under contract with the Italian side until the end of 2021-22.

Mauricio Sarri spent a season in the Premier League with Chelsea in 2018-19, winning the Europa League and reaching at the EFL Cup final that season.
