Tottenham reportedly are keen on Carlo Ancelotti.
Tottenham Hotspur had reportedly set their sights set on Carlo Ancelotti prior to dispensing with the services of Mauricio Pochettino, The Telegraph report.
With high profile addition Giovani Lo Celso only on loan, there is a risk losing Pochettino could hurt Tottenham’s chances of signing the midfielder permanently.
Not so if Tottenham appoint Carlo Ancelotti, a manager who has already expressed his interest in the former PSG talent.
Ancelotti made a play to try and beat Tottenham to Lo Celso’s signature in the summer.
InformaBetis reported that Ancelotti held talks with Lo Celso to try to sell him on joining Napoli.
This proved unsuccessful, with Tottenham having the final say as they secured a late deal to bring him to North London.
Lo Celso has had a slow start at Spurs due to injury and the team sit in a lowly 14th place in the Premier League.
Ancelotti’s Napoli sit in just seven in Serie A themselves, leading to questions about his own future Tottenham are said to be keen to exploit.
If the Italian was appointed for Spurs, his past connection with Lo Celso should answer any doubts the Argentine midfielder has over his own future.
