Tottenham’s search for a new manager appears to be an unending one as the Lilywhites continue to reach dead-ends with some of their targets.
Having made Jose Mourinho their manager before last summer, the Lilywhites would have expected top managers to jump at the chance to become their next boss.
However, that hasn’t been the case with the Lilywhites looking like an unattractive club to several of their candidates.
They have since been unable to hire the likes of Paulo Fonseca and Antonio Conte as their next manager and a new name has emerged as someone who has rejected them as well.
It has been revealed that Spurs have also made an approach for Sevilla manager, Julen Lopetegui and he turned them down.
This was revealed by the Spanish club’s president, Jose Castro, who claimed the manager told him Spurs made him a “dizzying offer” to take over the reins at the N17.
“Julen called me and told me that he had several offers that he didn’t pay attention to and a dizzying one from Tottenham.”, Castro said on Spanish radio station Cadena SER via Inside Futbol.
“But he told me that he was comfortable here, he does not forget things and that he is very excited.”
😂
Er, Seville’s President basically let everyone know. Not heresay at all I’m afraid…
Why would his manager call him to tell about negotiations when he is supposedly on permission to speak to others clubs. Why if according the report. He is very happy and appreciative on the club. Smell like stinky pile to me.
Man you beat me to it. I would not add a word.
Ditto
Cue the Benny Hill Theme Tune!!
Surely they have to approach the club to get permission to speak to him? Don’t believe a word of it anyway.
This one seems to carry a smidgen more weight as there are actually quotes of some kind, rather than some geezer on Twitter just randomly posting stuff. Still hardly a smoking gun I admit.
He said, she said. Heresay & another unsubstantiated story. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. People are queuing up to laugh at us. It’s like the scene in Airplane where the other passengers take turns in slapping the hysterical woman. Tottenham are the club being slapped. Still, at least we have ages until pre-season training……
