According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is working to draw up a shortlist of candidates to succeed Jose Mourinho before interviewing three or four and choosing the right one. The representatives of Athletic Bilbao manager Marcelino have been contacted, and while the 55-year-old’s contract expires in 2022, there are clauses in the deal which mean he would not be too expensive to sign this summer.
As reported by the Guardian, the Spurs chief Levy wants an attack-minded manager to replace the sacked Portuguese and is keen for the eventual replacement to be modern in outlook and have strong credentials in the development of young players.
