Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has reportedly told Tottenham he wants to become their new manager at the end of the season.

Mancini, who is now in charge of Turkish giants Galatasaray, is known to be struggling to settle in Istanbul, with many expecting him to move to a new club in the summer.

And according to reports in Italy, the 49-year-old is desperate to return to England – and he is targeting the Tottenham job.

Tim Sherwood is currently in the hot seat at White Hart Lane but his future is expected to be reviewed at the end of the season, with chairman Daniel Levy open to the idea of replacing him with a more experienced option.

Mancini is believed to have already sounded out Spurs about the job, while Spurs’ technical director Franco Baldini has urged Levy to consider hiring the ex-City man.



A host of famous names have thrown their hat into the ring to become Tottenham manager in recent weeks, with Louis van Gaal among those who have refused to rule out taking the job.
