Tottenham are said to be keen on appointing former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann as their new permanent manager. After parting company with Antonio Conte on Sunday night, the club appointed Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason in joint-caretaker charge while Daniel Levy and Co. identify the next man to land the north London hot seat.
Spurs have reportedly 'made contact' with Nagelsmann over their managerial vacancy after the 35-year-old was dismissed himself and swiftly replaced by Thomas Tuchel that same week, according to Sky Germany. The German is thought to be taking time over a decision about his future with reports also linking him to Real Madrid amid suggestions that Carlo Ancelotti could become Brazil's next manager.
While Tottenham have firmly established themselves as one of the Premier League's 'big six', becoming one of the biggest names in world football in the process, Nagelsmann reportedly has concerns this could be a step down in his managerial career. German broadcaster Constantin Eckner spoke about the head coach's reservations in accepting the vacant position on TalkSPORT, instead preferring to wait for the Madrid job to become available.
