Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a sensational offer to lure Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi to North London, with Italian outlet InterLive claiming the Premier League club is ready to put forward a “huge” contract proposal.
According to the report, Spurs have identified Inzaghi as their top candidate to replace current manager Ange Postecoglou, whom they are set to part ways with at the end of the season. The club is believed to be ready to table a lucrative salary package that would match those of elite coaches in the game, demonstrating how serious they are about securing Inzaghi’s services.
The 49-year-old Italian tactician is currently under contract at Inter until June 2026. While discussions over a contract extension have been speculated, InterLive suggests that a potential exit from the San Siro could be looming, especially if Inzaghi is tempted by the allure of the Premier League and a substantial financial offer from Spurs.
Inzaghi is no stranger to interest from English clubs. Earlier this season, he was strongly linked with the Manchester United job before the Red Devils opted to appoint Ruben Amorim on a short-term deal. With his reputation soaring thanks to consistent performances in Italy and in Europe, Inzaghi is increasingly seen as one of the most respected managers on the continent.
Tottenham’s pursuit of the Italian appears to be intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches. The North London club is determined to overhaul its leadership following a disastrous domestic campaign under Postecoglou. Despite initial optimism when the Australian coach took over, Spurs have failed to meet expectations and are now facing the grim prospect of their worst-ever finish in Premier League history.
Currently sitting 16th in the table with just three matches left, Tottenham have managed only one win in their last nine games. This marks an alarming decline for a club that has never finished below 15th since the Premier League era began in 1992/93. Even the potential of qualifying for next season’s Champions League by winning the Europa League does not appear to be enough to save Postecoglou’s job.
In stark contrast, Inzaghi is enjoying a strong campaign with Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri are locked in a thrilling title race in Serie A, just three points behind leaders Napoli with three matches remaining. Furthermore, Inter remain in contention for a European crown, having battled to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. The return leg, set to be played in front of a packed San Siro, could see Inzaghi lead his side to a historic final.
Widely hailed as “one of the best coaches in Europe,” Inzaghi’s stock continues to rise, and Tottenham are keen to capitalize on any uncertainty surrounding his future in Italy. With a bold offer and the promise of a major project in the Premier League, Spurs are pulling out all the stops to make the Italian their next head coach.
