Marco Silva would be “perfect for Spurs” according to Troy Deeney.
Ange Posecoglou is under pressure at the north London club, while Fulham boss Silva had presided over a fine season at Craven Cottage.
And former Watford striker Deeney believes Silva would be a good appointment as Tottenham boss – if he is allowed the freedom to do the job effectively.
“Marco is more than ready,” Deeney said on Talksport.
“The biggest compliment you could take for Marco Silva is that, if you look at all the people that are around him – his staff – they’ve been poached, because they (other clubs) want Marco Silva but they go and get the people off his branches.
“He’s ready for a big team. I think he’d be perfect for Spurs if the would allow him to just go and take over and not get involved too much from up above.
“I think he’d change the culture of that place within three months. Marco is definitely ready.
“Fulham are on a good trajectory but I think they’ll struggle to keep him long term.”
Fulham’s 3-2 win over leaders Liverpool continued the Whites’ excellent campaign – they are very much in the running for a European place.
Silva says he has changed the culture at the club.
“We have been changing completely the mindset of this club. I’m really proud of the players and the way they responded,” Silva told reporters after Sunday’s match.
“To compete against Liverpool, with a high tempo was great as they can always attack you. We had real attitude from the players under pressure.”
