THE 5 RACERS FOR THE LANE JOB
After a rookie defeat at White Hart Lane against Aston Vila, Tottenham have immediately stepped up in search of a new manager with five big names in the mix.
1. Hans-Dieter "Hansi" Flick
Spurs are still daring for the Bayern Munich coach who announced his departure from the club at the end of the season and has recently turned down big offers from the likes of Barcelona and Juventus with rumors suggesting that the once assistant coach under Joachim Löw could be headed for the Germany national team coaching vacancy.
2. Julian Nagelsmann
Tottenham are still keen in pursuing the 33 year old RB Leipzig coach despite the fact that Julian is set to take over Bayern Munich from Flick by the start of next season.
3. Ralf Rangnick
It’s reported that Spurs have also held talks with the former RB Leipzig coach who is currently not on a coaching field mainly for his pressing, zonal marking and high attacking style of play rather than falling back to regroup which has earned him major honors in coaching field.
4. Erick Ten Hag
Considering he has only been in Ajax for at least three years and within that period he has managed to be a champion and made his players tough contenders among the big boys in Europe majorly through academy players, Spurs could not shy away from the Dutch coach given his achievements match their club objectives.
5. Roberto Martinez
The 47 year old Belgium national team coach who has yet won any major title with the so considered ‘the golden generation’ squad could not be resisted basing on his successes at English club Everton.
