GOOD NEWS FOR TOTTENHAM:HE IS BACK…
Tottenham Hotspur could be poised for an unexpected reunion with former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard after the international break.
Ange Postecoglou’s side suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss at the hands of Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon following goals from Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap. Rodrigo Bentancur did pull a goal back in the second half, but the North London club were unable to find the all-important equaliser.
Spurs are now 10th in the league standings after 11 games with five wins, one draw, and five defeats so far. In the Europa League league phase standings, they are seventh despite the defeat to Turkish side Galatasaray earlier this week.
After the international break, Spurs will return to action with a huge league meeting with current holders Manchester City. That will be followed by a Europa League home tie against Serie A giants Roma.
However, the Italian club now face a period of uncertainty as they parted ways with manager Ivan Juric on Sunday shortly after their defeat to Bologna. Juric replaced Daniele De Rossi at the start of the season, but they sit 12th in the league after 12 games with just three wins.
“He handled a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for that we are grateful,” the club said in a statement. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
“The search for a new head coach has already begun and we expect an announcement in the coming days.”
One of the names that has emerged as a shock candidate to replace Juric is former Chelsea boss Lampard. The 46-year-old represented the London club as a player for the majority of his senior career, and has coached Derby County, Everton and Chelsea since his retirement in 2017.
