Former Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason took over temporarily, but a more experienced figure is expected to be appointed in the coming weeks.
A large number of names from all over Europe have been linked to the post. A pair of Premier League coaches were the most recent to be mentioned, with Scott Parker, jefe del Fulham and outgoing Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo, both linked.
However, it has now been revealed that the last of those options is not in the frame.
Trusted soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted that the Portuguese is “not a candidate for the position.” Explaining why, Romano noted that Tottenham is looking for a “different kind” of manager.
With Nuno a non-starter and others like Brendan Rodgers seemingly out of reach, the Express details the three remaining possible candidates Tottenham could call up.
The first is the head of Brighton Graham Potter. Despite the Seagulls’ humble position, Potter has received praise for the offensive soccer style he deploys with limited resources. This style is said to have “proven popular with the Spurs hierarchy.”
Second, the outgoing Belgian coach Roberto Martinez It is named. He guided the country to third place in the 2018 World Cup, beating England in the consolation game.
The Spaniard has also led Belgium to the top spot in the FIFA world rankings ahead of Euro 2020 this summer.
Despite his success in the international game, The Sun claims that Martinez wants to return to the club’s management. In addition, a report in early May revealed Martinez was open to a return to the Premier League with Tottenham declaring to be ‘interested’.
The final name of the Express state is Ralf Rangnick. The German has excelled in two seasons at RB Leipzig and would bring great experience.
Tottenham trio Ferguson wished they had made it
Meanwhile, legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed the four current players he would love to have managed during his time on the bench.
His checkered career also saw him handle some of the biggest and most colorful names in Premier League history.
However, there are four current stars that Ferguson admits he might have had under his wing.
Harry Kane he was the first player named Ferguson.
Tottenham face the very real possibility of losing their talisman forward after a disappointing season. Kane has made public his desire to leave the club in the next transfer window. Although reluctant to sell, Tottenham could demand around £ 150 million for Kane, who will have no shortage of potential destinations.
Ferguson is promoting his new documentary film about his life and recent health problems, titled Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In. This was done on May 29. During this interview (hosted by SPORTbible), his former player, Gary Neville, asked him questions.
Ferguson also picked two more current Tottenham men in Dele Alli and Heung-min Son. He also named coming out of Manchester City forward Sergio Agüero like the fourth.
