Tottenham's bid to make Feyenoord general manager Dennis te Kloese their new technical director has been knocked back by the Dutch champions.
The London club were willing to offer a compensation package for the 48-year-old mastermind behind the Rotterdam club’s first Eredivisie title in six seasons. But Feyenoord knocked them back after Te Kloese assured them he would not try to force his departure.
Spurs are looking for a successor for Fabio Paratici after the Italian resigned in the aftermath of a 30-month ban from football following allegations of match-fixing during his time at Juventus. They have also been in talks with Feyenoord coach Arne Slot about becoming their new boss after a fruitless two-month search for a new manager following the departure of Antonio Conte.
