Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a host of managers in recent weeks.
With Antonio Conte now no longer at Spurs, speculation over his successor has intensified massively.
Spurs are reportedly looking at the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann and Zinedine Zidane.
Roberto De Zerbi is another potential option for Tottenham in wake of his heroics at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Italian has worked wonders at the Amex Stadium since taking over from Graham Potter in September.
He has continued his predecessor’s good work and looks set for a record high Premier League finish with his club.
And Tony Cascarino reckons De Zerbi wouldn’t hesitate in taking the Spurs job if the club’s hierarchy offered it to him.
He told The Game Football Podcast: “What is De Zerbi getting?
“Let’s say it’s about £5m, well Conte has been paid £15m this season.
“If De Zerbi was offered the job he’s certainly going to go there.

“And it’s the same with other managers, their wages would be trebled or quadrupled, they would probably go.”
Cashing in with stock at all-time high?
De Zerbi has been one of the surprise success stories of the 2022-23 Premier League season.
There was anxiety around Brighton when the impressive Potter upped sticks for Chelsea.
However, De Zerbi has built on his predecessor’s work and is arguably doing even better.
Gareth Southgate recently said the 43-year-old was doing some “amazing” work with a side playing “unique” football.
De Zerbi’s stock is at its highest now. He could well have the option to make the most of it and make the step up.
There’s always the risk that, if his second season at Brighton doesn’t go quite so well, his name would stop circulating when vacancies open up among the elite clubs.
At the same time, if the Seagulls manage to keep the bulk of their stars, who’s to say they can’t go even further under De Zerbi next term?
