Daniel Levy given Julian Nagelsmann to Tottenham instruction amid Mauricio Pochettino option

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has been encouraged to do everything in his power to appoint former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann to succeed Antonio Conte as Spurs manager. Former player-turned-pundit Jamie O'Hara believes the German would be an "unbelievable appointment", and described the out-of-work boss as the "best young manager in the world".

After Conte was sacked on Sunday night, Tottenham have reportedly 'made contact' with Nagelsmann over their managerial vacancy after the 35-year-old was dismissed himself that same week, according to Sky Germany. The German is thought to be taking time over a decision about his future despite reports also linking him to Real Madrid - with Carlo Ancelotti rumoured to become Brazil's next manager.

Levy is thought to be aware of how difficult it is going to be to attract Nagelsmann to Spurs, however, given he is likely to have numerous options this summer. O'Hara believes Tottenham should be placing themselves at the very front of the queue in acquire his services ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
