Mathias Sammer urges Spurs target Julian Nagelsmann to snub Chelsea

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with manager Julian Nagelsmann over the past few weeks.

In March, The Telegraph reported that he was Daniel Levy’s top target to replace Antonio Conte at Spurs.

However, more recent reports have suggested that Nagelsmann now seems likelier to join the Blues.

The Times have claimed that the 35-year-old prefers a move to Chelsea over Tottenham.

Indeed, Nagelsmann has already held talks with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, added the report.

Now, the Tottenham and Chelsea managerial target has been urged to snub Stamford Bridge.

Germany legend Mathias Sammer has told BILD that “unrest” is coming from the Blues leadership.

He even questioned whether Todd Boehly actually knows what he’s doing at the club.

“With the structure: I would clearly advise him against it,” BILD – via Sport Witness – quote Sammer as saying.

Our view

Nagelsmann is a ‘phenomenal‘ manager who has the credential and skillset to be a success in the Premier League.

Indeed, Bayern’s decision to relieve him of his duties has raised many eyebrows among fans and neutrals alike.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens over the coming weeks and months.

The likelihood, however, is that Nagelsmann doesn’t seem to be looking to take on a new job before the season ends.

Chelsea and Tottenham would both be good jobs for the young coach to take in terms of prestige.

However, both would also require a fair bit of work.

Chelsea’s squad is huge, and the next manager must try to keep everyone happy and maybe look at outgoings too.

That’s even before he can look at bringing in his own players and, of course, the coaching.

Meanwhile, Tottenham need an overhaul, with quite a few players struggling to live up to the required standards.

The Spurs job would likely be more of a blank slate, and they certainly could do with multiple, high quality new recruits.
