DEAL CONFIRMED;Tottenham view Xavi Hernandez as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in exploring a move for Xavi Hernandez should they part ways with Ange Postecoglou.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur could be interested in a move for Xavi Hernandez and look to appoint the Spaniard as their new manager should they axe Ange Postecoglou. The 45-year-old former Barcelona manager is in the market for a new role following his departure from the Catalan side in the summer.

Xavi Hernandez had a decent spell at Barcelona, which also happened to be his first spell at a major European club as a manager. Since his departuee for the Catalan club, the Spaniard has been in the market for a new role. However, there were reports he was uninterested in taking over at Manchester United earlier in the season.

There are other forthcoming opportunities on the horizon, with some clubs keen to experiment with the 45-year-old former Barcelona manager. For instance, Bayer Leverkusen are interested as they could anticipate the summer departure of Xabi Alonso and feel the Catalan might be the right man for the role.

Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich are also keen, as there are some lingering doubts about Vincent Kompany’s long-term future at the club. Meanwhile, Tottenham are interested in the 45-year-old former Barcelona manager, as there are some doubts about Ange Postecoglou’s long-term future at the club.

The Australian has suffered badly this season due to the many injuries to his key players, and a series of bad results have opened speculation about his future. Postecoglou was under severe pressure of late, but should they start winning again and finish the season in a respectable position, things could change for the Spurs boss.
