If Spurs Willing To Take Gamble – Former Ireland Star Gives Tottenham Advice On Next Manager

 

Antonio Conte is expected to leave Tottenham at the end of the season when his contract expires.

 

Spurs have already compiled a shortlist of targets, with Mauricio Pochettino linked with a return to the north London club in the summer.

 

 

However, Cascarino feels Tottenham are a club in need of fresh ideas and a new direction and should go for a young manager.

 

He pointed to the impact Arteta has had on Arsenal, who showed boldness in appointing a rookie manager who they believed had the talent to do the job.

 

 

The former Premier League star stressed Kompany is someone Spurs should consider given the way Burnley have played this season and the fact that he has Pep Guardiola’s approval.

 

Cascarino wrote in his column for the Times: “When they appointed Mikel Arteta in December 2019, Arsenal made a bold decision but it was bold because Arteta was young and lacked experience.

 

 

“It wasn’t bold in terms of talent — he was a highly regarded young coach and tipped by many to succeed Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

 

“Well now there’s another young, inexperienced manager who is being tipped to be a future City manager — Vincent Kompany.

 

“Guardiola himself said in the past week that he believes Kompany could be a future City manager so why don’t Tottenham, a club in need of enthusiasm and fresh impetus and ideas appoint the next bright young manager around instead of going for the usual names?

 

“The job Kompany has done at Burnley is remarkable — 17 points clear of third place, playing a style of football fans at Turf Moor haven’t seen for years and, as many videos of his team talks on social media have highlighted, he clearly inspires and lifts his players.

 

“Yes, recent former pros such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have struggled at big clubs in the Premier League but Kompany could be the next Arteta if Spurs are willing to take a gamble and be patient.”

 

Tottenham are also believed to be considering names such as Roberto De Zerbi and Thomas Frank.
