Tottenham Hotspur are looking to replace Ange Postecoglou after announcing his departure earlier today, and they have identified Francesco Farioli as a target. 

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, the 36-year-old manager is ‘high on their list’ as they look to replace the Australian. Farioli has impressed at Nice and Ajax in recent seasons, and he is regarded as one of the finest young managers in the game.

He has been described as a ‘fast-learning’ student of the game by El País, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. Tottenham are looking for a fresh start, and bringing in one of the finest young managers around could prove to be a wise decision. 

They have a talented squad and a bright future. They need to bring in a tactically astute manager who can build a formidable squad at the club. Farioli certainly fits the profile.

The manager recently announced his departure from Ajax, and he is likely to be attracted if Tottenham come calling. It would be an exciting opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself in English football. It would be a huge step in his career. 

Tottenham must bring in the right manager

Meanwhile, Tottenham are keeping tabs on the Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, as well. He has done an excellent job at Brentford with a limited budget, and he could prove to be the ideal fit for Tottenham as well. 

Tottenham must get their managerial appointment right this summer, and it remains to be seen who they end up replacing Postecoglou with. 

They had a very disappointing Premier League campaign last year, and they finished just above the relegation zone. They will be hoping to bounce back strongly, and the manager could bring out the best in their current set of players.
