Former Tottenham Hotspur Heurelho Gomes goalkeeper has admitted he could see one of his former teammates managing Spurs in the future.
The north London side looks to be heading in the right direction with Ange Postecoglou now at the helm.
However, it seems there could already be a former Spurs player who is ready to fill the vacancy if and when needed.
Who Heurelho Gomes thinks could manage Tottenham
Over a decade has now passes since the Brazilian goalkeeper put on his gloves for the Lilywhites.
But he remains interested in the north London alongside his former teammate and compatriot, Sandro.
The 35-year-old midfielder has become a bit of a regular at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over recent months.
And it seems he has his eyes on something bigger than just watching from the stands.
Speaking to Chris Cowlin, Gomes was questioned on Sandro’s desire to one day manage Spurs.
He said: “He’s capable of it. I think the way he…normally I speak to him about football…they way he speaks about football in the way he can put it, is different. But the way he thinks about football yes, he can become a very very good manager.”
What Heurelho Gomes said about joining Tottenham
Tottenham are now in a position where they are able to compete for Champions League on a regular basis.
But that was not the case when the Brazilian joined the club with Spurs having never played in the elite European competition at the time.
Gomes was, however, part of the first side to play Champions League football at Tottenham under Harry Redknapp.
But he has admitted that he never truly felt that his heart was in north London after leaving PSV Eindhoven to join the Lilywhites.
He said: “I left in 2008, but my heart remained in Eindhoven for a long time. That’s why it was so difficult for me to get used to Tottenham, precisely because of that.
“My body left the club, but my heart stayed in Eindhoven. The club remains special to me because of what we have achieved. And I feel at home there. Every time I come to PSV; I feel like I’m dreaming. Eindhoven still feels like home.”
Any potential managerial role in north London for Sandro will be years away considering the 35-year-old has only just retired from playing in September.
Unlike someone like Ryan Mason, Sandro does not have a crumb of experience, so he will have a long journey to go if he is serious in wanting to become the Spurs boss.
