Spurs are still looking for a new manager, and they are now attempting to get Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Celtic.
WHAT OCCURED? The Independent reported that Spurs are considering hiring Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou as their new manager for the upcoming campaign after their previous candidate, Feyenoord’s Arne Slot, swore allegiance to the Eredivisie giants.
Slot, who led Feyenoord to Eredivisie title victory in the 2022–23 season, was expected to take over in north London, but the 44-year-old now becomes the latest manager to rebuff Spurs. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Spurs have been made to toil in their search for Antonio Conte’s successor. The Italian manager ranted about the club, the players, as well as chairman Daniel Levy, following Spurs’ 3-3 draw against Southampton as they squandered a 3-1 lead. A departure after that outburst was inevitable.
In the past few months, including the time when Conte was still at the helm, Spurs have been linked with Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim, ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique etc. to name a few. Meanwhile, they appointed Cristian Stiellini on an interim basis and then hired Ryan Mason following Stiellini’s firing. AND WHAT’S MORE: Spurs were close to reaching an agreement with Feyenoord head coach Slot, but the Dutchman was skeptical about the club’s structure and the lack of a director of football made him question how he would work in such a system.
Feyenoord also convinced the excellent coach to continue on for another season because they will be playing in the Champions League the next year. In doing so, they were successful.
