Tottenham are hoping to secure a replacement for Fabio Paratici before they find a new head coach.
Many fans are puzzled as to the delay in finding a permanent replacement for the sacked Antonio Conte.
Spurs are relying on Ryan Mason to see them through to the end of the season after Cristian Stellini was also let go as interim coach after a run of poor results.
Per The Mirror, the reason for the delay is in finding a Paratici replacement.
The club are hoping they can have a sporting director in place to work with a new head coach in the summer.
Spurs are targeting Julian Nagelsmann for the latter job, but he wants clarity on Paratici's replacement before committing to the job.
