Scott Parker has emerged as a shock candidate for the Spursbaan – if the club decides to say goodbye to Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian was able to leave the North -London outfit at the end of the season, regardless of whether he wins the Europa League or not.
Sunsport can reveal a number of senior figures in Tottenham “admire” that Parkerr has done this season in Burnley.
And despite difficult spells responsible for Fulham and Bournemouth in the Premier League, he remains one of the most appreciated young English coaches in the country.
Spurs -owner Daniel Levy is one of those who are a huge fan of the former Spurs star Parker.
Levy would like to cement Spurs as a club with a reputation for playing an attacking brand of football in addition to a history of spending young players.
And these characteristics are central to Parker's philosophy.
But naming him would be enormously controversial.
That is because if Postecoglou is taught, Spurs -Fans already demand a replacement by the proven Premier League experience.
Message boards on the groups of fans of supporters emphasize Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola as a preferred choice, and he also remains a strong favorite with the bookmakers.
Marco Silva and Thomas Frank are also tipped by many bookmakers.
Mauricio Pochettino is also repeatedly connected to a return to Spurs.
An insider said to the Sunsport: “It will be a big summer at Spurs. If they can win the Europa League, then it is very unlikely that Ange will go everywhere.
“He will have earned the opportunity to start the new season and try to turn Spurs' fortunes in the Premier League.
“But when he starts a bad start, the noise becomes unbearable and can be out of Christmas.
“There is clearly a lot of talking and work going on behind the scenes of the club with unforeseen plans that are set up about what life would be like without ange.
“And Scott Parker is a name that is being spoken more and more about it. The job he has done with very few resources in Burnley has once again underlined what an excellent young coach he is.
“There is an opinion among many in the club that he could be a potential boss for Spurs, but the board knows if they replace the current manager they need to get the next appointment.
“It may be the case that it is a bit early for Parker. But he is definitely someone who might end up in the tracks one day.
“Spurs came very close to naming Parker in 2021 when he was Fulham manager. But in the end he just missed.
Many years have now passed and he has been experienced more, which has made him an even more attractive proposition. “
