Julian Nagelsmann ‘to keep Spurs and Co waiting over his next move after his Bayern Munich sacking’
Julian Nagelsmann will ‘NOT decide his next move until he has taken some time off’ after his sacking from Bayern Munich… with Tottenham now facing an anxious wait for Antonio Conte’s replacement, with Real Madrid and the Chelsea hanging around.
Julian Nagelsmann will reportedly not make any hasty decisions about his future and will instead wait until he “comes to terms” with his shock sacking as Bayern Munich manager.
Bayern surprisingly sacked the 35-year-old last Friday and he has now become one of the most sought-after managers in Europe.
His immediate availability and the fact that he can be appointed without having to pay compensation make him a very attractive prospect, and Tottenham want to start talking to Nagelsmann about the possibility of him becoming their new manager following the sacking of Antonio Conte. .
However, German news outlet Bild has reported that Nagelsmann will take his time before plotting his next career move as he looks to move on from his ‘painful’ exit from Bayern.
The report goes on to say that Nagelsmann would like to look at what went wrong in his 21 months at the club and let it settle before moving on to a new place.
Julian Nagelsmann will take time to reflect on his dismissal before deciding his future
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy (right) has made Nagelsmann his number one target to replace Antonio Conte (left), who was sacked from his role as Spurs manager on Sunday.
Spurs would like to bring in Nagelsmann sooner rather than later, but understand that a start to the summer would be good for both parties, given that he has handed over the reins to former Conte assistant Cristian Stellini in his last 10 games.
However, Spurs face an anxious wait while Nagelsmann decides on his future because there is a lot of interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Joining Real, a team already poised for instant success, might suit Nagelsmann, but he has fans at Chelsea and they would be interested if they decided to replace Graham Potter.
An improvement in results has eased the pressure on Potter after a rather disappointing first season, but a dip in form before the end of the season could leave Chelsea’s owners with a decision to make.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy wants to weigh his chances before turning his attention to other candidates to replace Conte, who left the club on Sunday night.
Spurs have compiled a list of alternative candidates with Luis Enrique, Roberto De Zerbi, Marco Silva, Steve Cooper, Thomas Frank, Sergio Conceicao, Oliver Glasner and Ange Postecoglou among the names in the draw.
However, Chelsea are also interested if they decide to sack Graham Potter (left), while Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti (right) has been linked with Brazil’s job this summer.
The return of Mauricio Pochettino would appease sectors of the fans, but his appointment is considered doubtful.
Stellini and Ryan Mason have been temporarily put in charge at Tottenham, their interim reign already dealt its first blow when news broke that right-back Emerson Royal needs surgery after injuring his knee while playing for Brazil.
Conte posted on Instagram: “I would like to deeply thank everyone at Spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and intense way of living football as a manager.”
A special thought to the fans who have always shown me their support, it has been unforgettable hearing them sing my name. Our journey together is over, I wish you all the best for the future.’
