There have been a lot of contradictory reports about who will be the club's next permanent manager, but Italian news says that Spalletti is back in the running for the job. Sky Sports columnist Florian Plettenberg as of late guaranteed that Duty is "pushing" to select Julian Naglesmann, while hypotheses throughout the end of the week recommended that the Prods executive's top decision is Bayer Leverkusen boss and Liverpool midfield legend, Xabi Alonso.
As the clock ticks down to the season's end and Levy actually makes a decision, it is also known that the likes of Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim and Arne Slot of Feyenoord are in the running.
Spurs may be ready to take advantage of Spalletti's uncertain future in Naples, where he just led Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years, according to Italian reports.
The 64-year-old's contract with the club was just extended until 2024, but there is still talk that he might leave in favor of a new challenge.
However, Chelsea and PSG are also considering Spalletti, so the north London club isn't the only one interested.
However, reports indicate that Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli could also make the move, as Tottenham is eyeing a double Napoli snare. Levy is not only evaluating Spalletti, but he is also evaluating Napoli.
The 51-year-old is being tipped to supplant Fabio Paratici, having proactively had conversations with Tottenham.
However, the primary focus is on Spalletti, who is praised for Napoli's incredible title victory this season.
Hailed as a "world-class mentor" by individuals from the Italian media, Spalletti has won nine prizes all through his administrative vocation. However, he won his first trophy in 11 years with Napoli's success.
However, Spalletti would bring an attacking style of play based on a 4-3-3 formation, which Spurs fans want after watching the melancholy football they played under Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Antonio Conte.
Even though he is getting older, the fact that he has never managed in England raises any red flags.
Include the way that Duty needs to get this next arrangement right, and the Tottenham supremo might choose to go down a more secure course, all things being equal.
Despite their poor campaign, Spurs are still in the running for a European spot. On Saturday, they play Aston Villa in the Premier League.
