# Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist drops teasing claim surrounding Maurizio Sarri

**Speaking to Radio Punto Nuovo (via [Tutto Napoli](https://m.tuttonapoli.net/calciomercato/i-gazzetta-i-laudisa-adl-sta-sondando-varie-piste-e-poi-scegliera-l-allenatore-468266)), Italian journalist Carlo Laudisa has dropped a teasing Tottenham claim involving Maurizio Sarri as the reporter explained that the former Juventus boss ‘could go’ to England, with Spurs the ‘most plausible’ destination.**

### The Lowdown: Sarri eyed by Spurs and Arsenal

The 62-year-old has been targeted by Spurs over the last month according to various reports, with [Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/170142/exclusive-sarri-talks-arsenal-and-tottenham) most recently saying that talks have been held for the former Chelsea coach.

Indeed, last month [the same outlet also stated](https://www.football-italia.net/169414/exclusive-tottenham-make-contact-sarri) that contact has been made with Sarri, but north London rivals Arsenal have [since joined the race for his appointment](https://www.football-italia.net/170142/exclusive-sarri-talks-arsenal-and-tottenham) amid speculation surrounding Mikel Arteta.

### The Latest: Tottenham ‘most plausible’ destination

Dropping an exciting claim, La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Laudisa has told Radio Punto Nuovo that Spurs is a likely destination for the 62-year-old, who he said could come back to the Premier League, with Tottenham appearing to be the ‘most plausible’ job.

“Sarri could go to England,” the reporter explained (via [Tutto Napoli](https://m.tuttonapoli.net/calciomercato/i-gazzetta-i-laudisa-adl-sta-sondando-varie-piste-e-poi-scegliera-l-allenatore-468266)).

“The Tottenham solution is the most plausible one, but the Arsenal bench could also free himself, given that Arteta has missed all the Gunners’ seasonal objectives.”

### The Verdict: Sarri should be on the wishlist

Lauded as a ‘magnificent’ manager by Chelsea player Jorginho, who played under Sarri at Stamford Bridge, (via [Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/152130/jorginho-sarri-extraordinary)), the coach is famed for his own brand of attacking football.

Conventionally nicknamed ‘[Sarri-ball](https://www.goal.com/en/news/what-is-sarriball-how-chelseas-tactics-have-changed-after/pqijnswg5x3x1lpvp5yulnab2)‘, it is a combination of intense, high-pressing play, and Spurs are said to want an attack-minded manager to succeed Jose Mourinho in N17 ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/apr/19/jose-mourinho-sacked-as-tottenham-manager)).

Having won the [Europa League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/maurizio-sarri/erfolge/trainer/10073) with Chelsea and [Serie A](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/maurizio-sarri/erfolge/trainer/10073) at Juventus, the 62-year-old also has a track record of winning silverware, so there are plenty of boxes already ticked for Tottenham.

Therefore, we urge Spurs not to write him off as a candidate.
