Premier League side Tottenham are set to make an ambitious move for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti according to press in England.
According to The Daily Mail, current Spurs manager Tim Sherwood is set to be replaced in the summer when his temporary contract runs out, after several falling-outs with his squad and chairman Daniel Levy.
And Levy is expected to plot a move for a more experienced coach, after seeing the money spent by Real on Gareth Bale go on players that haven’t displayed anywhere near the sort of performances the Welshman was putting in at White Hart Lane.
The style of play and lack of real entertaining football was one of the main reason previous manager Andre Villas-Boas was sacked, but it has not improved under Sherwood.
It is now believed Levy will turn to Ancelotti, who won the Premier League with Chelsea scoring a record number of goals, as the Italian may be discarded at the end of the season.
Real have slipped to third in the title race behind Atletico and Barcelona, the latter having won at the Bernabeu two weeks ago Sunday, and Ancelotti, alongisde Louis Van Gaal has been sounded out for Tottenham’s next boss.
