Journalist suggests Peter Bosz could be holding out for Tottenham job

Tottenham Hotspur are currently looking for a new permanent manager after parting company with Antonio Conte.

The Italian left Spurs by mutual consent in March, in wake of his explosive post-Southampton press conference.

Plenty of coaches have been linked with the Tottenham reins, including Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann.

Dutch journalist Tijmen van Wissing has now put forward a relatively new name in terms of the vacant Spurs role.

Peter Bosz is currently out of work after being sacked from Lyon last year, and he has been linked with FC Twente.

However, Van Wissing reckons the 59-year-old has been stalling, and suggested he might be waiting for Spurs.

“On Friday I also said a bit: what if Tottenham come?” Twente Insite report him as saying, as transcribed by Sport Witness.

“And I saw Heitinga after the match against the Eagles. I can’t imagine that Ajax will not end up with Bosz.

“Today I received a signal from FC Twente that they tired of having to sit in the waiting room and that they will continue to switch.

“They put Bosz first and Bosz has indicated that he is open to a conversation.

“If you are open to a conversation, then you are at least interested.

“Then as Bosz you can put FC Twente in the waiting room because there are better options… at FC Twente, they think they should move on.

“I think it’s in the sporting challenge. The football he plays is a feast for the eyes. I think it’s a shame and would embrace it if he goes to FC Twente.

“But FC Twente also has to switch through. It is not the case that Bosz turns his nose up at FC Twente and that FC Twente has not been decisive enough.”
