Bayern Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is the favourite to become the next Tottenham manager, according to reports in the Netherlands. The former Liverpool midfielder began his coaching career in 2019 with Real Sociedad B, the professional club where he started his senior playing career, before heading to Germany to become manager of Leverkusen last October.
Despite only being in the job for seven months, Alonso has already impressed with his free-flowing style of football, gaining significant interest from an outside perspective. So much so that, according to Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, Alonso is ahead of Feyenoord's Arne Slot in the running to take over at Spurs, with the Spaniard revealed as one of the top candidates.
Slot has been linked with vacancy at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with his team on the brink of winning the Eredivisie title, having lost just one game this season. At the moment, Ryan Mason is in interim charge of Spurs having replaced Cristian Stellini, who was placed in temporary charge following the exit of Antonio Conte in March.
