Ange Postecoglou has attracted interest from clubs in England and across Europe following his dismissal from Tottenham Hotspur on 6 June - just 16 days after leading the club to Europa League glory in Bilbao.
The 59-year-old Australian ended Spurs' 17-year trophy drought with the European triumph but was shown the door by chairman Daniel Levy in what many considered a ruthless decision.
Sources indicate that Postecoglou has already been approached by several clubs since his departure. The former Celtic manager, who won a treble in Scotland, is reportedly keen on another opportunity in the Premier League despite his recent setback at Tottenham.
Tottenham have identified Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their primary target to replace Postecoglou.
