Tottenham move on to other targets as pursuit of Julian Nagelsmann stalled

Tottenham are no longer considering Julian Nagelsmann as their next manager. expect to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as the club's next permanent head coach.

Nagelsmann has been linked to Spurs since being sacked by Bayern Munich, but the club have insisted that he is not currently considered for this post. .

It remains to be seen if this situation will change as sources emphasize that Tottenham hold Nagelsmann in high regard, but the club is expected to look elsewhere in search of a permanent successor to Antonio Conte.

The Telegraph Sport reported last week that Tottenham will face a big compensation bill for hiring Nagelsmann while he is still on gardening leave after leaving Bayern. Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso, Celtic's Ange Postecoglu and Sporting's Ruben Amorim are believed to be under consideration by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

Levi is also looking for a new sporting director and list of candidates for this position from Tottenham Hotspur. Roma's Thiago Pinto is believed to be among them.

Brentford's Lee Dykes and Johannes Spors of 777 Partners are also among those being considered for the top job following the departure of Fabio Paratici, who was forced out as Spurs' managing director of football.

Although Dykes and Spors have already been linked with a post at Tottenham, Pinto is a new name that chairman Daniel Levy is taking seriously, according to sources.

Eintracht Frankfurt's Markus Krosche has also been mentioned in conversations but is believed to be on Bayern Munich's radar and is expected to reject any Spurs approach.

Pinto, on the other parties are considered interested in the prospect of working in England and would most likely welcome such an approach.

The appointment of a new sporting director could be decisive for Tottenham in their search for a new head coach, and Nagelsmann did not want to join the lead negotiations without knowing the name of the favorite candidate.

Pinto, who was linked to West Ham United, was Benfica's director of football between 2017 and 2020 and was then appointed by Roma, which helped them win the European Conference League last season. Roma are on their way to the Europa League final this season after beating Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the semi-finals.

Whoever takes on the role of Tottenham's sporting director under any name will work. under the leadership of chief football officer Scott Mann, who is due to start work on July 1. It is believed that Mann is already familiar with Spors.
