Tottenham look to Ryan Mason again as contenders to replace Antonio Conte waver



While the group have enjoyed the greater freedom of working under Mason, Levy is at least open to the idea of bringing in the next manager to try and secure Champions League football for next season.

Weighing over everything is the fact that there is still over a quarter of the season to play, with an awful lot at stake, and Levy is intent not to just let it drift like after sacking Jose Mourinho in 2020-21.

Mason previously took charge after replacing Mourinho

Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Robert De Zerbi and Luis Enrique are the names known to be on a shortlist, although there would be reluctance from each of them to be dropped into such a situation mid-season, and some would need convincing to join Spurs.

While Pochettino is the obvious fan favourite, it is understood he wavers between wanting to go back and thinking he should explore his career elsewhere.

Tuchel is probably the coolest of all potential options, and both he and Pochettino are known to be keen on the Real Madrid job.

There is some chance of that becoming available in the summer if Carlo Ancelotti departs.
