Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino would both be open to succeeding Antonio Conte at Tottenham, but would prefer to wait until the summer to decide their next respective moves, 90min understands.
Spurs confirmed on Sunday night that they had mutually agreed to part ways with Conte following a dismal run of results, notably capping off his tenure by labelling his players as 'selfish' in an explosive press conference after drawing 3-3 with Southampton.
Conte's former assistant, Cristian Stellini, has been placed in interim charge until the end of the season with the hunt for a new permanent boss underway - this search could be complicated by FIFA's decision to enforce managing director of football Fabio Paratici's footballing ban, subject to appeal.
Two of Spurs' targets are currently out of work, with Nagelsmann recently having departed Bayern Munich and Pochettino unemployed since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last year.
