Tottenham is considering more high-profile managers following the dismissal of Ancelotti's recommendation, which was met with laughter.
Senior football writer for ESPN James Olley has previously suggested that Fulham manager Silva could be a suitable substitute for Postecoglou, and Chelsea was reportedly interested in him as well in the past.
"I find Marco Silva to be another intriguing choice," Olley stated.
I believe he would depart from Fulham. I think he was very interested in joining Chelsea, particularly if they had seriously considered offering him the position before.
“I believe he has ambition, Silva. Clearly, Fulham would undoubtedly put up a fierce struggle to retain his services, but there could be a situation where Marco Silva actively seeks out some interest if such an opportunity presents itself.”
