Xabi Alonso has been sacked by Real Madrid after the Spanish Super Cup final defeat against Barcelona, and Tottenham are hoping to bring him in.
According to a report from Fichajes, the Spanish manager already has an offer on the table from the North London club, and the club has opened formal negotiations to appoint him as their new manager. It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and Thomas Frank could be shown the door soon.
Spurs eyeing Xabi Alonso
Tottenham are in the mid-table position after a series of disappointing performances, and it is no surprise that they are already looking to make a change. Frank was appointed club manager at the start of the season, expected to turn things around after last year’s disappointing season. Spurs were in the relegation battle last season, but they managed to win the UEFA Europa League.
Frank was expected to get his team firing in the Premier League this season. They started the season well, but they have struggled in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if Alonso is prepared to take over at the London club.
He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past. He has shown his quality in Germany previously, and there is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition to Tottenham. The 44-year-old is one of the finest young managers in the game right now.
Tottenham have quality players at their disposal, and the right manager could bring out the best in them. Alonso impressed with his attacking philosophy at Leverkusen, and it remains to be seen whether he can bring out the best in the Tottenham squad.
