Tottenham was tipped to appoint Manchester United -legend Michael Carrick after having spoken with potential replacements for Ange Postecoglou.
The future of the Aussie remains in doubt despite guiding Trail To Glory in the Europa League.
The Londoners ended the Premier League season in the 17th.
And Tottenham Chief Daniel Levy spoke with other managers About the possible replacement of postecoglou in the Dugout this summer.
Fulham’s Marco Silva and Brentford’s Thomas Frank is both linked to the track.
Although there is also interest in Crystal Palace FA Cup winner Oliver Glasner and Inter Milan Champions League finalist Simone Inzaghi.
Former Chelsea, West Ham and England wing player Joe Cole thinks that Spurs should look in a different direction.
He encouraged them to drop their view of the championship and take a look at their former midfielder Carrick, who now has the leadership of Middlesbrough.
The five-time Premier League winner at Man United has been in charge of the Riverside since October 2022 and won 63 of his 136 games that are in charge.

But despite missing a promotion -push, Cole believes that Carrick fits perfectly with Tottenham, where he made 75 performances between 2004 and 2006 as a player.
Told Cole Paddy Power: “At Tottenham, Daniel Levy no longer has management candidates for the job. He has grown up, he has become daring and he has gone from the beaten track, but does not seem to have worked.
“Michael Carrick can be a good option for the manager’s task. An ex-spurs player who understands the club would be very nice.
“I would also see Glenn Hoddle in a certain capacity in the club. I know that Tottenham fans would like to see him again and he has the best football brain that I know.
“I would like to see Glenn again, perhaps supporting Michael Carrick. The club has to be brought together because it was sometimes really torn last season.”
