Cesare Prandelli is in talks with Tottenham about next season.

The Italy coach's contract expires after this summer's World Cup and he is ready to return to club management.

La Republicca says Prandelli is already in advanced talks with Spurs about succeeding Tim Sherwood.

Sherwood currently has a deal with Tottenham until the end of next season, but accepts his job will be in doubt if Spurs fail to finish in the top four this term.
