Vincent Kompany is a contender for the Tottenham head coach job, but Burnley are willing to offer their boss an improved deal to keep him at Turf Moor.
Former Manchester City captain Kompany is proving to be one of the most promising coaches in English football and has already secured Burnley an immediate return to the Premier League.
The former Belgium defender is one of the names being considered at Tottenham Hotspur, although Mail Sport understands that some figures at the north London club have some concerns about his lack of experience.
Kompany spent two years with Anderlecht before joining Burnley for the current season.
But while there has been some concern over the 37-year-old’s relatively short stint in management, Kompany’s possible appointment as Spurs’ new head coach has behind-the-scenes support.

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Naglesmann is believed to have the strongest backing at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs have made overtures to see if Naglesmann would be willing to replace Antonio Conte as the club’s next full-time manager and if he would be willing to assume the role immediately.
Sources have told Mail Sport that Naglesmann has told Spurs he wants a time-out before returning for the start of next season.
However, the German coach is also on Chelsea’s radar and there is a feeling that Naglesmann would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge, although Spurs qualification for the Champions League could be a factor.
