What is Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy thinking? It is said that he is hesitant to sign a contract because he has two complaints about manager Julian Nagelsmann.
The British press ‘Express’ reported on the 3rd (Korean time) that ‘Levy has two concerns about Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann is right to be the frontrunner in the race for Tottenham’s next manager, but other possibilities still exist.’
The sooner the next manager decides, the better for the team. Chelsea, who fired their manager later than Tottenham, have already completed interviews with candidates and entered the final stage.
But Levy is too passive about what he thinks. When the summer transfer window opens, competition will only intensify.
Appointment of a director must be done carefully. However, Levy’s two concerns are rather puzzling.
According to the Express, Levy had suspended his contract because of Nagelsmann’s age and aggressive nature.
Nagelsmann is already famous as a young director. He took up the baton for the first time in his late twenties. At Tottenham, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is older than Nagelsmann.
Also, Nagelsmann broke up after a huge fight with Bayern Munich. All known stories. If it conflicts with the values Tottenham pursues, you should not have contacted them in the first place.
Does Levy want a coach who listens to him?
Among coaches who can keep Tottenham at least at the Champions League level and aim to win the League Cup or FA Cup, there is no one who would be amenable to Levy.
Just look at recent directors. Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte have all had disagreements with Levy. Between Mourinho and Conte, only Nuno Santo had no noise, but his grades were so bad that he was cut without completing six months. ㅋㅋㅋ벳
At this point, you should realize that Levy has a problem, but Tottenham’s future is bleak as they are still looking for a decent manager.
Express left open the possibility, saying, “The contract was suspended for a while, but not overturned at all.”
But Nagelsmann was Chelsea’s number one target before Tottenham. Nagelsmann immediately stopped negotiations with Chelsea after finding out that Chelsea had been in contact with Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique.
