Journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt has said that Julian Nagelsmann would love to become the new Tottenham Hotspur manager.

Rhind-Tutt has told ESPN FC that he knows that Nagelsmann has an affinity for Tottenham.

The Times have reported that Tottenham are now interested in appointing Nagelsmann as their new manager.

Spurs are reportedly considering sacking Antonio Conte now.

Conte is out of contract at Tottenham at the end of the season.

Sky Sports have claimed that the 35-year-old himself is open to holding talks with Spurs, but he may decide to wait to take a new job until the summer.

Nagelsmann has recently been sacked as the Bayern Munich manager.

Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has replaced the reported Tottenham managerial target at the Bavarian giants.

Rhind-Tutt said, as transcribed by 101GreatGoals: “I think that Nagelsmann would walk into the Tottenham job!

“I know for a fact from someone who was close to Nagelsmann that he actually had an affinity for them at one point, not a fan, but thought of them as a good club.”

HITC Verdict: Summer move more likely

In our view, Julian Nagelsmann is more likely to take the Tottenham Hotspur managerial job in the summer than right now.

Yes, Spurs could sack Conte now, but we do not think that Nagelsmann would jump straight into the Tottenham hotseat just days after getting dismissed from Bayern.

It is very likely that the young German manager will take some time off and then go again in the summer of 2023.
