Fabrizio Romano drops Tottenham update about Julian Nagelsmann

Tottenham Hotspur are looking for a new manager after parting company with Antonio Conte on Sunday.

The Italian left Spurs by mutual consent after 16 months in charge of the Premier League club.

Plenty of managers have been linked with the Tottenham reins over the past few weeks.

One of those is Julian Nagelsmann, who became available after Bayern Munich sacked him last week.

According to Sky Sports, Spurs have made contact with the 35-year-old over their head coach vacancy.

However, Fabrizio Romano has warned that Nagelsmann might not necessarily take on a new role right away.

The transfer insider, speaking on his YouTube channel, says the German was shocked by the Bayern sacking.

Therefore, he is now looking to take him time before embarking on a new project.

“I wanted to touch on Julian Nagelsmann,” said Romano.

“This was a shocking news, important news a few days ago, now it’s already everything official and completed: Thomas Tuchel is the new Bayern coach.

“What’s next for Julian Nagelsmann? I wanted to clarify one thing: Nagelsmann was really shocked and surprised by the news.

“He was not expecting this kind of story, and so this is why Nagelsmann is not now already speaking to other clubs.

“I know there’s always a lot of rumours as he’s an excellent coach, an excellent guy.

“He’s very young, very very talented and so it’s normal to have this kind of rumors about Spanish clubs, English clubs.

“But the reality at the moment is that Nagelsmann is still really disappointed. He was not expecting this kind of situation.

“So this is why Nagelsmann will take some time. We will see, it could be days, weeks or months to decide the next step.”

Delay?

Nagelsmann is a good shout for Tottenham. He’s young, smart, incredibly talented and has a solid CV and good track record.

However, by the sounds of it, he won’t be rushing into a new role any time soon.

Spurs look fine for the rest of the season, with an interim coach in charge.

Then, in the summer, they should go all out to try to convince Nagelsmann to take the Tottenham reins.
