Bundesliga coach emerges as surprise number one candidate for Tottenham job.
Tottenham’s search for a new manager is still ongoing and a report from the Netherlands states that Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso is the number one candidate for the role.
This week, ESPN reported that Feyenoord boss Arne Slot is emerging as a serious contender alongside Julian Nagelsmann to become Tottenham’s next coach but now De Telegraaf have stated that Alonso is the leading candidate to land the role in North London.
This could be significant given the outlet is from the same country as Slot, whilst ESPN stated that Spurs are open to the idea of hiring an up-and-coming manager such as Alonso and the Feyenoord coach.
If Tottenham take that path, Alonso would be a really interesting signing because the former Liverpool player has done an incredible job with Leverkusen since taking over at the start of the season.
His work has already piqued the interest of major teams, with Real Madrid listed as a possible next destination for the Spaniard if Carlo Ancelotti leaves at the end of the season, according to BILD.
As of now, it is unknown who will be Tottenham’s next coach, but there are some fascinating names on the list for Spurs fans to be excited about.
