And now, it seems as if Vincent Kompany is the favourite to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager.

Vincent Kompany best-placed for Tottenham manager job

Considering Kompany has managed to spearhead the Clarets to promotion and that too, in style, it is only justified why he is regarded as one of the most promising young coaches in the game.

A report by Sun has claimed that Vincent Kompany is the No.1 target to take over the Tottenham manager job.

Additionally, it has been mentioned that Daniel Levy has been left ‘blown away’ by the job he has done, with the club receiving ‘glowing reports’ about him.

Furthermore, the fact that Vincent Kompany has made Burnley the most entertaining team in the Championship is a crucial reason why Daniel Levy is keen on him becoming the next Tottenham manager.

Interestingly, it has been stated that the Manchester City legend himself is open to listening to offers ahead of next season.

Considering the 36-year-old follows Pep Guardiola’s juego de posición blueprint at Burnley, which has become the tactical zeitgeist in today’s day and age, he could transform Spurs by implanting this philosophy himself.

While handing Vincent Kompany the reins at Tottenham is a risk, him being an up-and-coming manager means the pressure to win now will not be as significant, giving the club a chance to build a long-term project.

Also, the Burnley boss could make the Lilywhites a joy to watch once again, which is craved by the fanbase, and with these factors in place, perhaps the appointment could well tick all the necessary boxes.
