Tottenham Hotspur have yet to speak with Mauricio Pochettino over appointing him as their next permanent manager, according to talkSPORT presenter Alan Brazil.
The club reportedly were open to appointing a temporary boss until Pochettino becomes available in the summer.
Spurs have since given Igor Tudor the job until the end of the season, but the club are not in contact with the Argentine, claims Brazil.
Pochettino will be available to return to club football after the World Cup in June, but it appears Tottenham want to wait until the end of the season before making a decision.
They are not guaranteed safety right now and will need to hold on to their Premier League status to have a chance of bringing their former manager back.
The Lilywhites are 16th in the league table with 11 games to play, and failure to quickly turn their fortunes around on the pitch could be disastrous.
Tudor wants the permanent job, but he needs to keep Spurs up to boost his chances.
Pochettino remains a target for Tottenham despite not holding talks, but there are no guarantees he would be successful given various underlying problems at the club.
Spurs need new owners if they really want to start competing with the Premier League’s elite clubs.
Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank could not find answers to problems which started to unravel towards the end of Pochettino’s first reign.
Tudor could struggle despite his best efforts.
