Tottenham Hotspur are as soon as once more with no supervisor, with Fabio Paratici and Daniel Levy the lads answerable for guaranteeing this subsequent appointment doesn’t fall flat.
Having signed Antonio Conte simply eight months after sacking Jose Mourinho, and with the Italian now additionally dismissed, the Lilywhites discover themselves at a crossroads.
They’ll both stick with the big-name managers in a determined try to win their first main honour since 2008, or they’ll begin once more by entrusting the membership to a younger up-and-coming coach.
In Oliver Glasner they might have the proper possibility ought to they select the latter, who wouldn’t stray too removed from their present construction. Fortuitously, he would add some attacking impetus and does have a pedigree with attaining silverware too.
However arguably much more luckily, he’s reportedly eager to make the transfer to north London, as his contract talks with Eintracht Frankfurt stall.
This potential appointment would provide an injection of contemporary concepts right into a membership stagnating underneath latest management, while the aspect of unknown {that a} overseas coach brings solely provides intrigue. The one want could be that he may begin right away, in an effort to retain Champions League soccer on the very least for subsequent season.
Would Oliver Glasner be a hit at Spurs?
Having led his German outfit to the Europa League title final season in outstanding style, downing Barcelona, West Ham United and Rangers on their historic run, he already boasts a cut-throat pedigree that Spurs do want some extent of.
Nonetheless, his tactical mind is so spectacular that it even drew reward from Nico Kovac, who claimed: “He’s very structured, very effectively organised, meticulous, observes the opposition very intently and prepares the staff very effectively for them. He doesn’t simply let Eintracht run their boots off. He adjusts techniques.”
This has culminated within the 48-year-old’s 1.53 factors per sport common, taking on a struggling staff and stabilising them. This in flip led to the development of the strong basis with which they earned their European success.
The Austrian’s choice for a three-at-the-back formation does make him a high quality match for this present squad, which was considerably moulded in Conte’s picture. The likes of Pedro Porro may explode underneath him, given Filip Kostic returned seven objectives and 15 assists in all competitions final season underneath his tutelage from left wing-back.
With an improved fashion that aligns with their earlier regime, however builds upon it with precise emphasis on assault, plus the truth that he’s able to the odd “tactical grasp stroke“, as lauded by journalist Stefan Bienkowski, Glasner is the excellent possibility to switch Conte at Spurs.
