Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino could be passed over by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. The London Evening Standard says Tottenham are confident of installing a new manager as early as next week with Pochettino the leading contender to take over at White Hart Lane.
It is thought some are trying to persuade Levy to look more seriously at two other candidates, thought to be Ajax head coach Frank De Boer and Napoli boss Rafael Benitez, a former Liverpool and Chelsea manager.
There could also be an ambitious move for Carlo Ancelotti if Real Madrid lose Saturday's Champions League Final against city rivals Atletico and he is sacked.
