Overview
- Reports published on Sept 14–15 say multiple Italian and UK outlets view Ausilio as close to agreeing to become Tottenham’s sporting director with a likely January start.
- Ausilio left Inter on September 2 after roughly 28 years at the club and Inter credited him with nine domestic trophies during his time there.
- Journalists point to Ausilio’s transfer record at Inter, including the signing of Lautaro Martínez, as proof of his ability to combine big signings with shrewd, value-driven deals.
- Tottenham’s summer spending of more than £300m and an inconsistent start to the season have prompted the club to seek a senior executive to align recruitment with Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical plans.
- Liverpool have been named as a possible alternative suitor in recent reports, which could force Spurs to conclude talks quickly or risk losing their lead for Ausilio’s appointment.
