Tottenham Hotspur may well be in the market for a new manager this summer.

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou is likely to be sacked in the coming weeks, regardless of Spurs’ Europa League results, and, to be honest, it’s hard to blame Daniel Levy for making this decision.

Postecoglou should’ve been sacked months ago in the eyes of some, and Tottenham’s league position tells the entire story here.

Spurs will soon be hunting for a new manager, and some interesting names are in the mix here.

Andoni Iraola is a Tottenham target, but Iraola is set to stay at Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Tottenham like Marco Silva, but Fulham are desperate to keep hold of Silva.

Scott Parker has been linked to Spurs too, and speaking on TalkSPORT, Jamie O’Hara has shared his reaction to these rumours.

Jamie O’Hara reacts to Scott Parker to Tottenham rumours

O’Hara shared his verdict after hearing Parker linked to Spurs.

The pundit says that he’d actually like Parker at Tottenham, claiming that he’s a brilliant leader after working with him during his playing days at Fulham.

“Now, this is interesting, it says Ange is set for a summer exit as Spurs keep tabs on Parker,” O’Hara said.

“I think I’d like Scott Parker. I think I’d like Scott Parker at Tottenham. There’s something about him, I’ve worked with Scott, I’ve been in the dressing room with Scott, he’s a top bloke, a brilliant captain, his football I like, his identity I like. Is it a step too far early doors? Maybe, but maybe he needs a platform like Tottenham.

“I think he’d be alright, I wouldn’t mind it.”

O’Hara says that he knows how good a leader Parker is from his playing days at Fulham.

However, it has to be said that Parker and O’Hara weren’t a great duo for the Whites back in the day.

Indeed, while O’Hara spoke highly of Parker and his ability to lead, results on the pitch under Parker’s captaincy at Fulham were poor.

Parker and O’Hara had some terrible results together at Fulham, and it’s interesting to hear that O’Hara looks back on that time so fondly as Fulham were a mess at that point under Kit Symons.

Of course, there’s only so much one player can do as a leader, but it would appear as though Parker wasn’t all that inspiring to his teammates during that period as Fulham almost dropped down into League One.
