Tottenham Hotspur could consider AS Roma general manager Tiago Pinto as one of their options for a new sporting director, according to ASRomaLive.it.
On Thursday, claims from the UK stated Spurs chief scout Leonardo Gabbanini has left the club. He played a key role in the club’s summer business following Fabio Paratici’s exit in April.
Ange Postecoglou has urged Tottenham to bring in a new director and admitted that Spurs are working on it. This is where the AS Roma general manager could be an option for the Premier League side.
Claims made in England about Gabbanini’s exit are relayed by ASRomaLive.it, who then say ‘alarm bells are ringing’ at the Serie A side because of this news.
The outlet adds the Italian club are worried the north London side have shifted their focus to Pinto, who has a contract until the end of this season.
If Tottenham were to make an immediate attempt to take the Portuguese director away from Roma, the report states it would ‘completely change the framework’ at the club.
Therefore, José Mourinho’s side are monitoring the steps Spurs would take in appointing a new director.
Tiago Pinto is one of the obvious options for Tottenham, especially given there’s not long left on his contract.
