Spurs want a “special” Iraola alternative

The walls are closer Angel Postcoglou has Tottenham Hotspur.

The Australian began his mandate in northern London with a sensational series of ten games last season, but things have gone from bad to worse since.

As things happen, the Northern Londoners are 14th in the Premier leagueWith more defeats than victories in their name, and although injuries played their role, the team that lost against Fulham this weekend was at full power.

Such a bad return this season has naturally seen a number of high managers praised to replace the Australian in summer, like Bournemouth Andoni IraolaBut a recent report has now thrown another name in the ring.

Spurs manager search

According to a recent Telegraph reportDaniel Levy and Co identified Iraloa and Fulham Boss Marco Silva As “main candidates” to replace the postcoglou if they refer it in summer.

The report reiterates that after the last defeat of the North Londoners – their 15th in the Premier League this season – The pressure begins to rise considerably on the Australian.

Interestingly, while Bournemouth should fight against teeth and nails to keep their manager for at least another season, there are `doubts emerging on the future of Silva in Fulham ”, which could give the Lilywhites a real opportunity to win their man.

In addition, although he had a contract with the Cottagers until the end of next season, he would have a liberation clause of 6 million pounds sterling, making a scenario in which he joins the fully plausible Spurs.

Why should Spurs hire Silva

Therefore, the argument to dismiss Postocoglou is quite simple: it is lost 19 of the 46 games this season And represents on average only 1.50 points per match in all competitions.

However, if it comes down to choosing between Silva and Iraola in summer to replace it, why should Levy and the CO go with the first?

Well, the first reason is the simple fact that, as mentioned above, it seems eminently more possible than Spanish, which could lead to a more fluid angel transition and a better start to next season.

The second reason is that, despite all the deserved attention that the bournemouth boss received this season, the gaffer born in Lisboa has in fact a better campaign.

For example, in all the competitions in this term, the former boss of Rayo Vallecano won 15 games, drawn eight, lost ten And on average 1.61 points per match, while the former manager of Everton won 16, drawn new, lost new and on average 1.68 points per match.

Finally, while the two managers are incredibly exciting and are exceptionally well with their respective sides for the moment, the “special” silva, as Nicknamed by journalist Jack KellyTo many more experience in English football, manager Hull City, Watford and Everton before taking the job in western London.

So there is intrinsically less risk to hire it, which, after a season like this, is something that will surely call on the powers in place in N17.

In the end, it seems that Postcoglou’s time in Tottenham’s hot seat probably ends in summer, and if Levy and Co want to give the team the best chance to go before next season, they should seek to bring the man who made Fulham a frightening proposal.
