If Tottenham Hotspur cannot land Mauricio Pochettino then Erik ten Hag wants the job, Football London report.
Pochettino has been linked with a sensational return to Tottenham today, with Spurs now in talks with PSG.
There is apparently a willingness on both sides to make the deal happen.
However, Tottenham may face having to buy Pochettino out of his contract at PSG, which could prove problematic.
It is not yet known just how much money Spurs have to spend on their new boss.
And it seems that if Tottenham do fail to get a deal over the line for Pochettino, then Ten Hag could be next in line.
A good compromise?
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said to have retained a ‘strong interest’ in the Ajax boss.
Spurs would also have to pay a compensation fee to land Ten Hag, as he has just signed a new contract with the Dutch side.
But the 51-year-old title winning manager is said to want the job at Tottenham now.
That adds yet another layer of intrigue into a managerial search which is now reaching crunch stage.
Tottenham have taken their time to find the right man to replace Jose Mourinho, but seem to be zeroing in on their targets now.
Both Pochettino and Ten Hag do look like appealing options, but their job at Spurs won’t be easy.
Tottenham have gone backwards over the past year, and the squad looks like it needs a major freshen up, if the North London side are to get back competing for a Champions League spot again.
