Tottenham Hotspur are searching for a new manager having prated ways with Jose Mourinho last Monday morning.
Spurs head into today’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City with interim boss Ryan Mason in charge, and Daniel Levy will be thinking of a replacement.
Football.London reported just a matter of days ago that Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is one of the contenders on Levy’s wish list.
There could be a familiar problem for Spurs though, and that comes in the form of German giants Bayern Munich.
Eurosport claim that Bayern have him on their wish list given that Hansi Flick looks set to leave this summer, and Levy is probably sick of hearing about them.
Spurs want RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann, but Bayern are also eyeing him as a replacement for Flick, meaning Tottenham face a battle for either target.
Ten Hag isn’t a surprising target, as the Dutchman actually spent time with the club as second team manager before heading to Utrecht in 2015.
Ten Hag guided Ajax into the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, where his side were beaten by Spurs, and his record in Amsterdam suggests he could be a great capture for Spurs.
Bayern are a concern, but Spurs will hope that they can land one of them; at the end of the day, they can’t have both Nagelsmann and Ten Hag!
