Marco Silva is now being linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy was said to be a huge fan

Tottenham Hotspur have won just two of their last ten games across all competitions, and while manager Thomas Frank still has the support of the owners, most of the Spurs fans already want him out. The North London club lost 2-1 to Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club on Saturday, and some in the game are already linking the Cottagers manager Marco Silva with the Spurs job, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

He claimed in his ‘Inside Football’ bi-weekly newsletter today that Tottenham considered the Portuguese and Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou in the summer, opting for the Dane in the end. Silva is out of contract at the end of the season and suitors are keeping tabs on his situation as he is expected to leave Fulham. It is unknown whether Spurs are still monitoring the Cottagers boss, but it appears some of those in the game believe they could have eyes on him.

“There was meanwhile an extra narrative edge in Fulham beating Spurs, since this is what Tottenham could have,” Delaney wrote.

“The job in the summer ultimately came down to a choice between Marco Silva and Thomas Frank.

“Fulham remain an excellently obdurate side, which is all the more impressive given there’s been this sense in football that Silva’s time is running its course; that both could do with moving on.

“People in the game are now naturally putting two and two together… although there’s a difference in the equation from the summer. Levy was said to be a huge fan of Silva.”

Silva has proven his quality at Fulham, but like Frank has shown at Spurs, managing a big club comes with different challenges and expectations, and not every manager knows how to hit the ground running when given a big job.
