Tottenham are interested in PSG coach Christophe Galtier.
Spurs are in the market for a new manager after Antonio Conte's departure on Sunday.
Conte's former No2, Cristian Stellini, has now been put in charge on a caretaker basis to the end of the season.
The Evening Standard says with plans of an immediate appointment now shelved, Spurs are prepared to consider managers under contract.
Galtier is being discussed, as is Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.
