Exclusive: Manager eyed by Tottenham to potentially replace Ange Postecoglou is now on Juventus' radar

TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Juventus have their sights set on potentially appointing Fulham boss Marco Silva to replace Thiago Motta.
Tottenham admire Marco Silva as well as one of the managers who could replace Ange Postecoglou if they decide to part ways with the Australian tactician at the end of the season.
Fulham were confident of keeping Silva purely down to the fact that his costly £8 million release clause would be an obstacle for any club in their pursuit to hire him.
But there seems to be a twist in the tale as Marco Silva attracts interest from both Tottenham and Juventus.
Juventus’ advantage over Tottenham in Marco Silva pursuit
Sources have now told Graeme Bailey — TBR Football’s chief correspondent that as Juventus look to make a move for Marco Silva, the advantage that the Italian giants have is that his release clause is less than £2 million for teams outside the Premier League.
While in the summer, Silva’s release clause drops down to £6 million.
TBR Football understands that while Marco Silva is one of the leading candidates for Tottenham in case Ange Postecoglou departs at the end of the season, his release clause has remained an issue for them.
Current Juventus manager Igor Tudor could be handed the job on a permanent basis as well but chief Cristiano Guintoli is looking at other coaches and the Portuguese manager is one who appeals to him. Jamie Carragher described Marco Silva as a “proper coach” and he has proven that at Fulham this season, who are flying high in eighth place in the league this season.

Juventus’ Marco Silva alternative is good news for Fulham and Tottenham
For both Fulham and Tottenham, the hope would be that Juventus turn their attention to bringing in another manager instead of Marco Silva.
The former Everton boss is an expert tactician and especially at Craven Cottage, he has worked wonders.
TBR Football have been informed that Roberto De Zerbi is another name on Juventus’ managerial shortlist.
Since leaving Brighton, De Zerbi has done a fine job at Marseille and he is also being considered for a role in Turin.
