Tottenham Hotspur have Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on their shortlist as part of their search for the vacant head coach position, however, some within the club’s hierarchy have concerns over his inexperience, according to the Daily Mail.
The Belgian took over at Burnley last summer and has guided the Clarets back to the Premier League at the first time of asking with his side having lost just two games in the Championship to date in 41 matches to date.
Kompany is under contract at Turf Moor for another three years, however, they are prepared to offer the former central defender a new deal in order to try to keep him at the club.
Spurs are said to believe they can follow in the footsteps of rivals Arsenal, who appointed Mikel Arteta without any prior management experience and has transformed the fortunes of the Gunners as they battle Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Kompany is also reported to have admirers at Chelsea, who are also in the process of recruiting a manager following the dismissal of Graham Potter and have already appointed Frank Lampard on an interim basis for the remainder of the campaign (The Times).

Tottenham need to start making advances for whoever they consider being the man to replace Antonio Conte, or could find themselves way down in the pecking order with a number of clubs expected to be on the lookout come the summer.
Many fans still cannot understand why Mauricio Pochettino is not on the managerial shortlist given his previous affinity with the supporters and players, while some may point out to how it ended for the Argentine in north London, it is more than fair to point out the lack of support he received in multiple transfer windows in the build-up to his dismissal.
Pochettino warned of the rebuild which was needed and his words still haunt the fans to this day and those crying out for a return of attacking, pressing football – which Daniel Levy promised we would go back to following the exit of Nuno Espirito Santo.
