Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy looks to be playing a crucial role in the clubs pursuit to make Julian Nagelsmann their next manager. The young German coach was sacked by Bayern Munich around the same time Antonio Conte's mutual exit was confirmed and he is now one of the favourites to permanently succeed the Italian.
Chelsea parting ways with Graham Potter placed them as favourites to land Nagelsmann, however in a dramatic turn of events he exited the new manager race in west London earlier this month. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino then became the clear favourite with an appointment now very close to occurring.
Reservations on a number of topics caused Nagelsmann to pull out of the Chelsea running, and those doubts could creep in when Tottenham's formal approach undoubtedly arrives. Managing director Fabio Paratici departed the club recently after an unsuccessful appeal to his 30-month worldwide ban, while the future of star man Harry Kane is also up in the air.
