March 27, (THEWILL) – Tottenham Hotspur is on the hunt for a new manager following the departure of Antonio Conte, and a number of high-profile names have been added to the list of potential replacements.
While the newly-relieved Julian Nagelsmann is a popular option, former fan-favourite, Mauricio Pochettino, is also in the running. Cristian Stellini will serve as caretaker manager until the end of the season with Ryan Mason as his assistant.
Tottenham’s chairman, Daniel Levy, is keen to speak with Nagelsmann after the German coach’s shock dismissal from Bayern Munich. However, Luis Enrique and Sergio Conceicao are also on the shortlist. Pochettino remains a popular choice among fans, but there is said to be opposition to his potential return in some quarters. The Argentine was sacked in 2019 after a poor start to the season.
Enrique is currently without a job after leaving his post as Spain’s manager after the 2022 World Cup, while Conceicao is in charge of Portuguese club, FC Porto, Nagelsmann, who was reportedly keen on the Tottenham job before joining Bayern, is said to be open to talks with Spurs.
The club will take their time in choosing a new manager, with several high-profile names now in the frame.
