Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing Bob Tahri.
According to France Football, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to raid Monaco for mental coach Bouabdellah ‘Bob’ Tahri this summer.
Spurs fans are mostly focusing on new recruits to the playing staff, but Mauricio Pochettino may yet look to bring in some off-field additions to aid his side.
It’s believed that Spurs are looking to raid Monaco for Frenchman Tahri, who serves as the mental preparation coach under manager Leonardo Jardim.
Other clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt and Paris Saint-Germain are thought to be keen, but Spurs will be looking to win the race for his services.
Tahri’s history is interesting, as he was a middle and long-distance runner, winning a whole host of medals in a glittering athletics career lasting nearly 20 years.
Now 40, Tahri has turned his attention to football, seemingly putting his knowledge of preparing for big race to great effect by preparing players mentally for big games.
Tottenham are often accused of being mentally fragile, and whilst Pochettino’s side have put some of those suggestions to bed with their Champions League run, adding Tahri may just help the Spurs squad in a new way.
