Piero Ausilio, who has been mooted as Tottenham’s top target for the sporting director role, has now revealed which league he wants to work in next.According to reports, Roberto De Zerbi’s role at Spurs is broader than just a head coach, with the Italian having a big say in the club’s recruitment decisions.We saw the power De Zerbi wields firsthand this summer, as it appeared that many of Tottenham’s signings were handpicked by the Italian, including Jan Paul van Hecke, whom he worked with at Brighton, and Sandro Tonali, who is also from De Zerbi’s home town of Brescia.However, reports indicate that Tottenham are on the lookout for a new sporting director ahead of the January window, and one man is rumoured to be at the top of their wishlist.Piero Ausilio has been dubbed the favourite to be Spurs’ next sporting director after parting ways with Inter Milan at the end of the recent summer window.Photo by sportinfoto/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty ImagesTottenham target Piero Ausilio admits he wants to work in the Premier LeagueFor the first time since exiting the Nerazzurri in the summer, the experienced Italian director has now spoken about his next step.In a boost to Tottenham, Ausilio confessed that he would prefer his next job to be in the Premier League, as he wants to experience life outside Serie A.The 54-year-old said (via Fabrizio Romano): “Call from AC Milan? I’d like to try a new chapter in the Premier League as the next step. I’m motivated to try a new experience abroad after so many years at Inter.”Over recent months, some sources have even claimed that Ausilio has already held advanced talks with Spurs and is expected to be appointed by Christmas time.However, the former Inter director has denied this claim, insisting that he has not spoken to any club since leaving San Siro.He is quoted as saying to TuttoMercatoWeb: “I haven’t spoken to anyone right now, and then there are the rumours. My desire is to test myself in a different, new league, and the Premier League is a fascinating project.“That doesn’t mean I’ll be there tomorrow. But I’m interested and would be willing to seriously consider it if the opportunity arose.”Roberto De Zerbi wants Spurs to appoint AusilioGiven that De Zerbi has been given a long-term contract, and the power to be the central architect of the ongoing Tottenham project, it is key that any incoming sporting director has a shared vision and good understanding with the 46-year-old.That appears to be the case with Ausilio, with some reports claiming De Zerbi has already given the green light for Spurs to appoint the experienced Italian.In fact, it was even reported back in September by one Italian outlet that Ausilio previously wanted to appoint De Zerbi as Inter boss.That suggests that the pair have a very similar view of football and recruitment, which could boost the 54-year-old’s candidacy for the Tottenham sporting director role.READ MORE: Dejan Kulusevski has already been told how many minutes he will play for Sweden this weekThe post Piero Ausilio opens the door to Tottenham job with come and get me plea appeared first on Spurs Web.
