      How Tottenham could line up under Vincent Kompany with Burnley manager raiding Man City for former team-mate

      by

      TOTTENHAM could turn to Vincent Kompany in their search for a replacement for Antonio Conte. Conte parted ways with Spurs in March after publicly slamming his squad with Cristian Stellini taking temporary charge.

      But as revealed by SunSport, Manchester City legend Kompany is a leading name to take over permanently at Tottenham.
      The former Premier League winner helped guide Burnley to promotion in his first season in charge with the club.
      Kompany is increasingly seen as the manager who can give the club a new dimension.
      The move could see him bring in some familiar faces to Spurs, including goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.

      Muric was signed for Burnley from City and the Kosovo international has kept 17 clean sheets this season.
      Spurs have been linked with several stoppers over the last season, with Hugo Lloris suffering a dip in form.
      Kompany has largely deployed 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formations with Burnley, but under Conte Tottenham favoured a back-three.
      Eric Dier, Christian Romero and Clement Lenglet have been Spurs’ preferred centre-back trio.

      But the North Londoners have been linked with a move for City’s Aymeric Laporte, who spent a year with Kompany at the Etihad.
      It could help in potential negotiations to bring the defender to the capital.
      Set to return to Spurs next season is left wing-back Destiny Udogie, who has made 26 appearances on loan with Udinese.
      On the other flank, Pedro Porro has enjoyed a good run of games for Spurs, with two goals and six assists.
      Going forward, with Tottenham in need of fire power, Kompany could turn to his star man Nathan Tella.
      The wideman has 17 goals in 37 games this season, making him primed for the Premier League.
      And it could leave Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min fighting it out for a spot on the left, to support striker Harry Kane.

      Man City icon Vincent Kompany is Tottenham’s No1 target to replace Antonio Conte after leading Burnley to Premier League

      VINCENT KOMPANY is now Tottenham’s No 1 target to replace Antonio Conte.Chairman Daniel Levy has been blown away by the Belgian, 37, leading Burnley back into the Premier League in his first season.

      SunSport told you last month the Manchester City legend was a surprise name on Levy’s shortlist.
      But Spurs chiefs have received glowing reports after a stunning season saw the Clarets promoted in record time.
      And Kompany is increasingly seen as the manager who can give the club a new dimension.
      Spurs have watched how Mikel Arteta has transformed bitter rivals Arsenal into Premier League title contenders having spent three years working as Pep Guardiola’s No 2 at City.

      Kompany spent the same amount of time as captain under Guardiola before becoming Anderlecht manager in 2019.
      He won two of his four Premier League crowns with Guardiola — who has tipped him as a future Etihad boss.
      Spurs are also considering Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, Brendan Rodgers, Arne Slot and their former chief Mauricio Pochettino.
      But, crucially for Levy, Kompany made Burnley the Championship’s most entertaining side after putting almost a whole new squad together.

      And Kompany is believed to be ready to listen if Spurs make a move as he fears the Clarets may not have the funds to tackle the Prem.
      Levy wants to get a new boss lined up quickly with Harry Kane’s future again in doubt and the club facing a battle to finish in the top four.
      They are three points behind Newcastle and Manchester United but have played a game more.
      Conte was sacked in March after weeks of uncertainty.
      The final straw came when the Italian boss, 53, launched an astonishing attack on his ‘selfish’ Spurs flops after the 3-3 draw at Southampton.
      His assistant Cristian Stellini has become the acting head coach at Tottenham for the remainder of the season.
      Former Premier League midfielder Ryan Mason is the Italian’s assistant head coach as the pair look to rejuvenate Spurs and finish in this season’s Champions League spots.

      Spanish journalist drops huge hint Real Madrid will hire Mauricio Pochettino, in blow to Tottenham and Chelsea

      by

      A SPANISH journalist has delivered a blow to both Chelsea and Tottenham by dropping a huge hint that Mauricio Pochettino The Argentinean manager, 51, is currently out of work having left Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
      A fresh update has hinted that Mauricio Pochettino could be off to Real MadridCredit: PA
      Pochettino is one of Spurs’ most successful and popular managers in recent history – despite failing to win a trophy with the club.
      He averaged 1.89 points per game – the most for any Tottenham boss in Premier League history with a minimum of 38 Premier League games in charge.
      The ex-Southampton chief capped off his five-year stint at White Hart Lane by leading Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, where they lost to Liverpool.
      But he was sacked just months later following a poor start to the next campaign before eventually taking over at PSG in January 2021, winning the Coupe de France and Ligue 1 prior to his departure.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Since Antonio Conte was sacked last month, he has been heavily tipped to make a return to the Tottenham hot-seat at the end of the season.
      And he is also believed to be on Chelsea’s wishlist as they search for a permanent successor to the axed Graham Potter, with Frank Lampard currently in as caretaker for the remainder of the campaign.
      However, reporter Anton Meana has dropped a huge clue as to where his next job will be – and it is in Spain with Real Madrid.
      Current Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti’s future remains unclear despite leading the club to a LaLiga and Champions League double last season.

      The Italian has even been linked with a shock move to take over the Brazilian national team.
      And Meana has now provided an update on his situation to the El Larguero show on Cadena SER, where he hinted Poch could be on his way to the Bernabeu.
      He said: “It would be big news if Ancelotti continued next year and even more so if he doesn’t win the Champions League. He knows that his future is up in the air.
      “I think that if Real Madrid had to choose between [Zinedine] Zidane and Ancelotti, they would choose Zidane.”
      He then added: “Pochettino did not want to coach Chelsea or Tottenham because he has something better and that smells bad to Ancelotti.
      “Ancelotti knows that they are questioning him, and that is why he has opened the door to Brazil.” More
