Jose Castro, the Sevilla president, has confirmed that his coach, Julen Lopetegui, has turned down an offer to manager Tottenham.
Presumably, this isn’t one of the occasions Daniel Levy referred to his in-house video interview, where the Spurs supremo clearly thought it was amusing that press speculation had lost the run of itself.
Words like ‘crisis’ and ‘chaos’ are bandied about with ease in relation to Tottenham Hotspur, and have been for some time. A top-flight football side doesn’t go for 550 days without making a transfer unless it has been served a winding-up order. This time around, the glaring disaster that cannot be played down is that the club can’t give away the hot seat.
I take a view that despite the white noise of angst from social media and ‘some’ players at Hotspur Way, that the abrupt sacking of José Mourinho, just 6-days before a cup final has sent out some very ugly messages throughout football, and it is highly unlikely Spurs will get anyone anywhere near their ideal candidate.
Nice work, Daniel.
