Since firing Antonio Conte, Tottenham have been going through a period of transition. Since then, the recruiting process has begun, and now they have almost settled on an unexpected candidate for manager.

The departure of Antonio Conte in March set in motion a managerial rollercoaster at Tottenham, which has since left the club in shambles. Former assistant Cristian Stellini was promoted to replace him, however, he was in turn removed from his position after the team suffered a humiliating 6-1 loss against Newcastle.

Ryan Mason stepped in as interim head coach and remained in that role for the rest of the season. While the team’s record didn’t improve much under his watch, the players’ mindset and output increased.

According to reports, though, the Spurs have no plans to make Mason a permanent head coach. It is thus commonly anticipated that a long-term manager will be hired this summer to continue the youthful coach’s successful work.

After talks with Arne Slot broke down, Spurs were reportedly already sure that the Australian was the guy to turn around the club’s woes. After being hired by the Scottish giants in 2021, Postecoglou has had an outstanding run of success.
