The 43-year-old Spaniard was recently fired by Real Madrid. According to a report from TransfersTottenham have started formal negotiations with him. It will be interesting to see if they decide to appoint him mid-season.
Spurs in talks with Xabi Alonso
The report claims that negotiations at Tottenham are going well and they hope to appoint him as the new manager soon. The club’s hierarchy believe he is the ideal modern manager for them, and that his tactics suit the players.
Thomas Frank was appointed manager of the club at the start of the season and Tottenham started the season well. However, they have struggled in recent months and find themselves in the middle of the table. The Danish manager is under a lot of pressure and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to part ways with him.
Xabi Alonso would be a great appointment
Alonso is highly rated across Europe and considered one of the best young managers in the sport. He has done an excellent job at Bayer Leverkusen and there is no doubt that he has a bright future. Even if his spell at Real Madrid didn’t work out for him, he could still be an excellent signing for Tottenham.
Former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has labeled Alonso as “one of the best in the world”.
He said: “Alonso has done a fantastic job and the doors are open for him because he has shown that he is one of the best in the world.”
The chance to become a manager in the Premier League could be exciting for the 43-year-old manager. He is certainly good enough to succeed at this level and will look to make his mark at Tottenham if the move goes through.
