Chelsea make Luis Enrique manager decision that could benefit Tottenham but there's one problem

There is no denying the importance of the decision coming Daniel Levy's way when it comes to finding Antonio Conte's long-term Tottenham successor. Following such a frustrating season to date with the team potentially set to miss out on a top-four finish come the end of May, the Spurs chairman quite simply needs to get it right and appoint the perfect man to help take the club forward once again.

In the 24 days since Conte parted with the club, a number of managers, including Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim, have been linked with the position at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Luis Enrique is another that has been mentioned in connection with the hotseat, with the former Barcelona boss also linked with the Chelsea job following Graham Potter's exit at the start of the month.

However, it now appears that the 52-year-old is no longer under consideration for the vacancy at Stamford Bridge. According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have cut down their managerial shortlist and Enrique is no longer among the leading candidates for the job and no further talks are currently planned with him.
