According to Sport/Foot Magazine in Belgium, Roberto Martinez has asked agent Pini Zahavi to find him a club job after the European Championships.
It’s suggested that Tottenham Hotspur are keen, and Martinez may be done with international management following this summer’s Euros.
Spurs are seen as the most likely destination, and that may be somewhat down to the fact that Zahavi is his agent.
The Israeli has strong ties to Tottenham, and actually brokered Jose Mourinho’s move to Spurs in 2019, according to Sky Sports.
Zahavi knows Daniel Levy well, and with Spurs allegedly admiring Martinez, it’s conceivable that Zahavi will end up sending another manager to North London.
Martinez has impressed since taking charge of Belgium in 2016, guiding them to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, and they’re expected to be a contender for the European Championships too.
His record at Everton may be something of a concern, but he’s a much more progressive coach than Mourinho and could get Spurs playing attractive football.
Belgium international Toby Alderweireld would surely love such a move after a frosty end to his time with Mourinho, and Martinez may well be a name to keep an eye on – if Spurs can wait until after the Euros for a new manager.
