Tottenham Hotspur appear to be making a shock managerial decision with Paulo Fonseca on the verge of becoming their new manager.
Jose Mourinho left the club in April, and Spurs have taken almost two months to find his potential replacement.
A host of names have been linked with Tottenham, but it now looks like Fonseca who will be heading to North London in the near future.
Fonscea could be Tottenham boss by next week
Sky Italia claim that Fonseca could be appointed as Tottenham’s new manager by the middle of next week.
Fonseca only left Roma at the end of this past season, but he may now fall upwards by securing the Tottenham job against all odds.
Whilst the Mozambique-born boss didn’t set the world alight in two years at Roma, he did win three straight league titles at Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.
What Pep Guardiola thinks about Fonseca
Fonseca took his Shakhtar side to face Manchester City in September 2017, losing 2-0 due to goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.
After the game, Guardiola told City’s official webesite that he was impressed with Fonseca’s ‘amazing’ Shakhtar team.
Guardiola noted that Fonseca had made his team ‘well organised’ and they ‘defended really well’, before Fonseca went and beat Pep’s City just a few months later.
It’s clear that Guardiola loved how Fonseca set up his Shakhtar side, and that should give Tottenham fans real encouragement that he can do the same for Spurs and cause City just as many problems in the Premier League.
