Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly waiting to learn the fate of Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti before appointing a new manager at White Hart Lane.

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax manager Frank de Boer have been linked to the North London outfit, but Levy is believed to be keeping an eye on Ancelotti.

According to The Mirror, the Premier League club could make an approach for Ancelotti should he fail to guide Real to La Decima in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid in Lisbon on Saturday.

Reports have claimed that Levy will switch his attention to Pochettino and De Boer should Real clinch their 10th European Cup or Ancelotti reject Tottenham's advances.

Spurs sacked Tim Sherwood at the end of the season after taking over from Andre Villas-Boas in December.
