Simone Inzaghi is being strongly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur after the Champions League final.

Uncertainty remains over Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham Hotspur despite the Australian having guided the club to European glory.

Postecoglou expects to be sacked by Daniel Levy, although the Europa League-winning coach has asked the Spurs chairman to give him more time.

One of the latest names to enter the frame is Simone Inzaghi and the North London club’s chances of landing the Italian manager have just been rated.

Simone Inzaghi is happy at Inter Milan despite Tottenham links

Inzaghi is believed to be happy to stay at Inter Milan despite links to Tottenham Hotspur and regardless of the outcome in the Champions League final.

The Italians’ Inter Milan team take on Paris Saint-Germain in the European Cup final on the weekend in a bid to end their 15-year wait for the trophy.

Fabio Paratici has been pushing for Inzaghi to be appointed as the next Spurs boss, although the North London club have faced competition from the Saudi Pro League.

But now, the biggest competition for the Serie A-winning coach is Inter, who will make it very tricky to get him out of the San Siro.

Barclay told The Tottenham Way podcast: “Simone Inzaghi is a sort of new one. Obviously, the Paratici link is understandable with an Italian and one who’s doing so well as that.

“The last time I spoke to quite a lot of counterparts in the Italian press, they seemed to be under the impression that he would be staying no matter what at Inter Milan next season.

“You could make the case that if he loses, he might be even more likely to stay because he wants to go and finish the job, I suppose. But I don’t know.”

Would Simone Inzaghi make an ideal replacement for Ange Postecoglou?

Inzaghi already has an impressive trophy haul in Italy having won nine major titles during spells at Inter and Lazio.

The 49-year-old has one Serie A title to his name, three Italian Cups and five Italian Super Cup titles. This season, he has seen the Nerazzurri finish second in the league and taken them into the Champions League final.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou’s win rate this term is rather alarming having won as many games as he has lost, which is why his future is in doubt.

Levy now faces a tough decision as he awaits to see whether Inzaghi might be available in case he decides to sack his current manager.
