English clubs looking to Italy for manager upgrades

With Tottenham beginning their search for a new manager, they may soon be joined by Arsenal, Wolves and Newcastle in the market, with Serie A reportedly the most likely hotspot.

Following recently sacked Spurs boss Jose Mourinho securing a move to Roma, the most likely destination for hot property Maurizio Sarri is now gone, with Premier League sides circling.

Yesterday, Football Italia reported an exclusive that both Arsenal and Tottenham were keen on bringing the well-respected 62-year-old back to England, but now more Serie A coaches have been linked to a move.

Calciomercato.it has today gone one further, claiming Sarri’s agent will meet with Spurs’ representatives today, while there has also been an attempt to discuss the position with Atalanta’s Gian Piero Gasperini.

Elsewhere, at Sarri’s former club, Napoli, Gennaro Gattuso looks a certainty to be fired at the end of the season should his side miss out on a top-four finish, with Wolves and Newcastle among his potential suitors if he becomes available this summer.
