Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is planning to make a big pitch to hire Julian Nagelsmann, who, according to Ray Parlour, could be another Jurgen Klopp.
The Independent journalist Miguel Delaney has written in the Reading the Game newsletter (1:01pm, April 28, 2023) that Levy wants to bring Nagelsmann to Tottenham as the new first-team manager.
The journalist has added that the German manager is now willing to speak to Spurs and then take it from there.
Nagelsmann is rated very highly by former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour.
The pundit said on talkSPORT (6:24am, April 28, 2023) that the German boss “could be another Jurgen Klopp” in the Premier League.
Daniel Levy’s plan regarding Julian Nagelsmann and Tottenham Hotspur
Delaney wrote: “Daniel Levy is making a huge pitch for Julian Nagelsmann. The German has recently been resistant but is at least willing to listen to Tottenham Hotspur and whether they meet his considerable demands.
“Had he agreed a Chelsea contract, sources say it would have been one of the biggest in the game. Nagelsmann also wants control. So much of this comes down to Levy’s command of the club. He is acutely conscious of the growing criticism, as his statement on Monday about Cristian Stellini’s departure indicated.
“It does mean Spurs are back where they were at at least three points in the last year. They need a “statement” manager as a response to recent failures. The big question is whether this is really conducive to long-term thinking. We have to wait and see.
“The player committee, so name-checked in that statement, will be especially observant. They are known to consist of Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Hugo Lloris, with the future of the captain still so uncertain.
HITC Verdict: Exciting
In our view, the appointment of Julian Nagelsmann as the Tottenham Hotspur head coach will be hugely exciting for the North London club’s fans.
Nagelsmann is a very young, dynamic and progressive manager.
That Bayern Munich hired the manager in the first place shows just how good he is and how highly he is rated in the footballing community.
We believe that Nagelsmann would be a brilliant manager for Tottenham.
