Fabrizio Romano has said that Luis Enrique is the second favourite manager to become the next manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

It was claimed on Thursday that the Spanish tactician had already been contacted by Spurs and had his sights set on a Premier League move.

But Fabrizio Romano has made a claim that Luis Enrique is not even best-placed to be given the Tottenham manager job in the summer.

Reuters had quoted the treble-winning tactician famously referring to himself as the ‘best coach on the face of the Earth’, emphasising that him and his Spanish players needed that level of confidence to achieve something special at the World Cup.

While that did not end up being the case, the 52-year-old is widely viewed as one of the greatest minds in football across the planet.

As Luis Enrique continues to get incessantly linked with the Tottenham manager vacancy, Fabrizio Romano has stated that he is not the favourite to be given the job.

“Luis Enrique and Nagelsmann are the two frontrunners at the moment, Nagelsmann is the favourite, Enrique is in second place from what I understand. Nagelsmann is keen on speaking with Chelsea in the next days and weeks.”

“Luis Enrique is the same, he would also love to be in the Premier League as the next step in his career, he would be really happy to take the Chelsea job”, he said on the Here We Go Podcast.

In case Julian Nagelsmann does decline the chance of becoming the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, the club should not be too gutted as Luis Enrique is also an incredible option.

Despite having one of the weakest Spain squads in years at his disposal, Enrique managed to make them perhaps look like the only side at the international circuit that looked like a genuine club side.

The Spaniard’s time at Barcelona needs no introduction, and he could well and truly revolutionise how Spurs play football for years if he is brought in.
