Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly exploring the possibility of appointing Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou this summer, according to TuttoSport. The North London club is said to be closely monitoring the Italian tactician’s situation, as his current contract at the San Siro is set to expire in June 2026, with just over 15 months remaining on the deal.
Despite being linked with a move for Inzaghi earlier this year, reports at the time suggested that Inter were eager to extend his contract, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano dismissing any speculation about an imminent departure. However, with Spurs potentially considering managerial changes following a disappointing campaign, interest in the 48-year-old could be reignited.
Inzaghi’s Interest in the Premier League and His Future at Inter Milan
Although Inzaghi has never managed outside of Italy, the former Lazio boss has previously expressed intrigue about the Premier League, hinting that a future move to England could be appealing. However, his stance regarding a potential exit from Inter Milan remains unclear.
TuttoSport reports that the Serie A-winning coach has not shown any concrete signs of leaving the Nerazzurri and could put an end to the growing speculation by agreeing to a new deal. Inter are reportedly eager to reward Inzaghi with a contract extension, especially given his success since taking charge in July 2021.
During his tenure, he has not only guided Inter to the Serie A title race but also established them as one of Europe’s most formidable teams. His side currently sits at the top of the league table with just 10 matches left, putting them in a strong position to secure back-to-back league titles.
Tottenham’s Struggles Under Postecoglou and Their Managerial Dilemma
While Inzaghi enjoys success in Italy, Tottenham find themselves in a turbulent second season under Postecoglou. After a promising start to the campaign, Spurs have endured a rough patch and currently languish in 13th place in the Premier League, a staggering 13 points behind fifth place—where they finished last season.
The club’s disappointing domestic performances have left them with only one viable route to securing European football next season: the Europa League. Following their early exits from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the Lilywhites must now overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit against AZ Alkmaar at home on Thursday to keep their European hopes alive. If they progress, they would face the winner of Ajax vs Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.
What Next for Tottenham and Inzaghi?
Tottenham’s interest in Inzaghi suggests that the club’s hierarchy might be evaluating their long-term managerial options, particularly if the team fails to secure European qualification under Postecoglou. Inzaghi’s reputation as one of the best coaches in Europe and his ability to win silverware make him an attractive candidate, though prying him away from Inter—especially if they clinch the Serie A title again—could prove to be a significant challenge.
For now, much depends on how both clubs finish their respective seasons. If Inter Milan secures the Scudetto and successfully extends Inzaghi’s contract, Tottenham may have to look elsewhere. However, if Inzaghi remains hesitant about committing to Inter, the door could be open for Spurs to make a move in the summer.
