Tottenham on the Verge of Appointing Marco Silva as New Head Coach Following Postecoglou Exit
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly on the brink of finalizing a deal to appoint Marco Silva as their new manager, according to Portuguese outlet Record. The Fulham boss appears to be the frontrunner to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed on Friday afternoon despite delivering silverware for the first time in nearly two decades.
Postecoglouâs sacking comes just 16 days after he guided Spurs to victory in the UEFA Europa League, securing a return to the UEFA Champions League for the 2025/26 campaign. That triumph had marked the end of the clubâs 17-year trophy drought, yet it wasnât enough to save the Australianâs job following a dismal domestic season.
Tottenhamâs Premier League form was catastrophic, with the North London side finishing 17th in the table, only narrowly avoiding relegation. The club endured a staggering 22 defeats in 38 league matchesâa new low for the team in the Premier League era. Although they made it to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and reached the fourth round of the FA Cup before being knocked out by Aston Villa, the domestic underperformance ultimately cost Postecoglou his position.
Initially, Brentford manager Thomas Frank was seen as the favourite to take over the role, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that the club was preparing to open formal talks with the Danish coach. However, new information emerging from Portugal indicates that Spurs are now focused on securing Marco Silva instead.
Silva Closing in on Spurs Move
Marco Silva has long been admired within English football for his tactical acumen and ability to maximize resources at mid-table clubs. He was among the early names linked to the Tottenham job when speculation about Postecoglouâs future began to mount. At the end of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Silva had publicly committed to Fulham for the 2025/26 campaign, even turning down a lucrative offer to manage in Saudi Arabia.
However, Record now claims that a breakthrough has been made in negotiations between Silva and Tottenham, with the two parties reportedly âvery closeâ to reaching a full agreement. If finalized, the move would see the Portuguese manager swap Craven Cottage for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and return to European football next season in the Champions League.
Silva earned plaudits for guiding Fulham to an impressive 11th-place finish this past season, keeping them in contention for a European spot for much of the campaign before a late dip in form. His ability to instill a clear playing identity and extract strong performances from limited squads has been noted throughout his time in the Premier League. In addition to Fulham, he has previously managed Hull City, Watford, and Everton, with a reputation for improving the teams he inherits.
Known for his tactical intelligence and disciplined approach, Silva could now be handed his most high-profile challenge yetârebuilding Spursâ credibility in the Premier League while managing the demands of Champions League football. With an experienced manager now close to taking the reins, Tottenham fans may be hoping that a more stable and consistent era is just around the corner.
