Tottenham Hotspur have faced a whirlwind 24 hours. Just when it looks as though things are moving in an upward trajectory, fans are brought back down to earth with a firm realisation that any positive news will often turn sour. The latest version of this regular occurrence comes in the form of Arne Slot.
The Feyenoord manager had become the frontrunner for the job at Spurs with a formal approach being prepared. An important meeting was also conducted on Wednesday between Slot's agent and Feyenoord to discuss his future and under 24 hours after the conclusion of those talks, the result has been made abundantly clear.
On Thursday morning, Slot was quoted by AD as saying: “I have been hearing a lot of rumours going around about other clubs' interest in me. Although I am thankful, my wish is to stay at Feyenoord and continue working on what we created last year.
