Reports in Italy claim Tottenham contacted Maurizio Sarri’s representative Fali Ramadani after sacking José Mourinho.

Sarri is under contract with Juventus until June 2022, but the Old Lady can terminate his contract one year early by paying a €2.5m fee by the end of April.

Tottenham sacked José Mourinho today, announcing Ryan Mason will take over as an interim coach.

According to Football Italia, Spurs have contacted Sarri’s agent Fali Ramadani to offer the former Juventus and Chelsea coach the job from next season.

Sarri is eager to return to coaching after a sabbatical year.

Juventus sacked him after their Champions League elimination at the hands of Lyon this past August.

Sarri won the Serie A title and lost a Coppa Italia Final on penalties against Napoli.

A number of Serie A clubs are also in talks with the Tuscan coach, including Roma, which appears to be his favourite destination, should he decide to remain in Serie A.
