Paulo Fonseca to Tottenham Hotspur is being reported on across the Italian, Portuguese and English media.
In Italy it’s caused some surprise with there being a feeling, especially in the media around AS Roma, that Spurs are taking a huge drop from Jose Mourinho to his compatriot.
Portugal’s O Jogo now say there’s total agreement for the manager to take over. After claims of a three year deal, Fonseca is expected to sign for just two seasons, with a third campaign being optional.
Fonseca still hasn’t arrived in England, and O Jogo state he’ll fly to England in the next few days, and then everything can be confirmed and an announcement made.
The 48-year-old was at Roma from 2019 until the end of last season, and before that he was at Shakhtar Donetsk, where he won the double for three consecutive years.
