A report claims that Lazio head coach Simone Inzaghi is being considered by Tottenham Hotspur as a replacement for sacked boss Jose Mourinho.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly added Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi to their list of candidates to replace Jose Mourinho as their next manager.

Spurs parted company with Mourinho last month after just 17 months in charge following a disappointing first full campaign at the helm.

Julian Nagelsmann emerged as the early frontrunner to succeed the Portuguese, only to agree to take over at Bayern Munich soon after.

Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag was another rumoured option for Spurs, but the 51-year-old recently signed a new contract with the Dutch giants.

Tottenham have now compiled a new list of attainable targets and, according to Corriere dello Sport, Inzaghi is among those being considered.

Inzaghi has impressed during his five seasons in charge of Lazio, but it is claimed that he is growing unhappy at the Stadio Olimpico.

The former striker is said to be open to furthering his career by joining a supposed elite club, though Spurs have yet to make a formal approach.
