It has been reported that Fulham manager Marco Silva is now amongst the three candidates to take over the Tottenham Hotspur job.
This comes from the Telegraph, as Spurs are still on the lookout for a brand-new coach to come in and replace Antonio Conte.
Now, it seems like Marco Silva is on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar, as they aim to prise him away from Fulham to become their next manager.
Tottenham shortlist Marco Silva amongst three primary candidates for new manager role
With the Portuguese coach’s side finishing in 10th place in the Premier League, he has deservedly received a lot of props for how much he has overachieved.
In February this year, even Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola sang his praises via BT Sport, saying, “What Marco Silva has done this season is unbelievable. To come up from the Championship and look at the season they have done.”
Now, it has been reported that Fulham manager Marco Silva, alongside Ange Postecoglou and Luis Enrique is among the main three candidates to take over the Tottenham job.
It has been mentioned that Silva is currently in negotiations to sign a new contract, with only one year remaining on his deal.
Interestingly, it has been claimed that the highly-rated tactician has a, £6 million compensation clause and in the event that he eyes an exit, there is no indication about whether the Cottagers would be keen to ‘deal with’ Spurs.
Marco Silva would be an astute appointment
Tactically, Marco Silva has proven that he is extremely switched on, which is a basic, yet crucial requirement for any potentially incoming Tottenham manager.
If the Lilywhites improve their recruitment and back Silva with the right players, there is no reason to believe that he would not succeed, as has been the case at Fulham.
With the 45-year-old also playing a fearless brand of football, Tottenham fans would likely fall in love with him, if the move comes to fruition.
