Louis Saha believes Laurent Blanc would be an excellent replacement for former manager Harry Redknapp if Tottenham choose to pursue the Frenchman this summer.
The France coach is thought to be on Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s wish list after transforming Ligue 1 side Girondins de Bordeaux and impressing at International level. Having led France on a 23 match unbeaten run before losing to Sweden in their final group game, the 46 year old is now preparing his team for a quarterfinal clash with World and European champions Spain on Saturday.
It is thought discussions with Blanc and his representatives will begin once France’s Euro 2012 campaign has concluded but there is interest in former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas as well. Reports suggest no decision will be made until the club have spoken to all their various candidates but Saha insists Blanc is more than capable of filling the White Lane Hart hot seat. The French striker told talkSPORT:
“He’s a top manager.
“He’ll always have interest. I can imagine him being a hit in the Premier League because of his experience.”
During his playing days Blanc enjoyed a brief career in the Premier League with Manchester United and played with Saha during their time at Old Trafford.
