4-2-3-1 Manager with 3 Wins Against Tottenham Top Candidate to Replace Postecoglou

According to recent reports, Fulham manager Marco Silva has emerged as a leading candidate to potentially replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur. This development comes alongside previous interest in Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.

Postecoglou’s second season at Spurs has been challenging, with the team languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table for much of the campaign. Their only remaining chance for silverware lies in the Europa League.

The latest setback for Tottenham came in a 2-0 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage, further increasing pressure on Postecoglou. Following the match, the Australian manager expressed his disappointment and acknowledged the unacceptable nature of their numerous league losses this season.

While Bournemouth’s Iraola has been previously linked with the potential vacancy, The Telegraph now reports that Marco Silva is also under serious consideration. Silva, who secured his third victory over Tottenham in Sunday’s match, reportedly has a £6 million release clause in his Fulham contract.

Sources suggest uncertainty surrounding Silva’s long-term future at Fulham beyond this season. However, it remains unclear whether Fulham would demand the full release clause amount or if Tottenham would be willing to meet such a fee.

Silva, who employs a 4-2-3-1 formation and shares the same agency as Jose Mourinho, has been with Fulham since 2021. His tenure at the club has been his longest managerial stint to date. A potential move to Tottenham in the coming months could be a situation worth monitoring closely.
