Julian Nagelsmann has been urged to accept the Tottenham manager’s job by Ralf Rangnick, who worked with him at RB Leipzig and is a big fan of his.
Nagelsmann is under consideration by the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, for the role, which was vacated when Antonio Conte departed on 26 March. Spurs are under the caretaker charge of Ryan Mason after sacking the initial interim, Cristian Stellini, after Sunday’s 6-1 humiliation at Newcastle. They face Manchester United at home on Thursday night.
