Tottenham make significant progress in pursuit of experienced Italian

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly making significant progress in their efforts to appoint former Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio, with the Italian emerging as a potential addition to the club’s footballing structure.

According to Football Insider, negotiations are advancing, while former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness believes the appointment could represent a positive step for the North London club.

Tottenham Hotspur identify Piero Ausilio as key leadership target

Ausilio’s extensive experience at Inter makes him an intriguing candidate for Tottenham as the club looks to strengthen its recruitment and sporting operations.

The Italian executive spent almost three decades working within the Serie A giants’ structure, playing a role in the club’s development and its return to domestic and European prominence.

His potential arrival would give Spurs access to an individual with considerable knowledge of elite-level squad building, talent identification and football administration.

However, Wyness has highlighted the importance of Tottenham establishing a clear internal structure so Ausilio can operate effectively.

The club has struggled on the pitch in the opening weeks of the campaign, increasing the importance of decisions made away from the field.
