According to well-known Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Xabi Alonso is especially eager to return to the dugout as soon as possible. The former midfielder is open to an experience in England and has expressed his willingness to commit to an ambitious project that promises new challenges.For their part, Tottenham launched their search after the brief and uninspiring stint of Thomas Frank, who managed the team for 38 matches without managing to turn things around. The Spurs were knocked out early from both domestic cups and managed just two wins in their last 17 Premier League fixtures.Additionally, British journalist Miguel Delaney revealed in The Independent that the London club has drawn up a shortlist of candidates. Xabi Alonso leads this list, alongside Oliver Glasner, as the club looks to restore technical balance and inject fresh momentum into the squad.It's worth recalling that Alonso recently left the Madrid club following a dip in the team's performance this season, making him available to take on a new challenge in his managerial career.
