Tottenham do not want to wait any longer to replace Mourinho. His departure was confirmed just six days before the Carabao Cup final, which he lost to Guardiola's City. But the English club is not finding it easy to replace the Portuguese coach. With Ryan Mason in the difficult role of interim coach, Tottenham are failing all their attempts to find a replacement for Mou. Nagelsmann has just signed for Bayern and Brendan Rodges is not considering leaving Leicester. According to the Daily Mail, there are other candidates: Erik ten Hag, Ajax coach, Roberto Martinez, the Belgium coach, Gareth southgate, the one from England and also Ralf Rangnick, Former Leipzig coach, now without a team.
The English club has been a black week as far as the search for a coach is concerned. Tottenham had two main names on the table and both have failed them. The first failure was consummated this Tuesday, when one of its main targets, Julian Nagelsmann, signed for Bayern Munich, and became, incidentally, the most expensive coach in history after the 25 million paid to Leipzig. Another of the future, Brendan Rodges, Leicester coach, has also said no.
In Rodges's case, the fact that Leicester is on the verge of qualifying for the Champions is added. League and in these circumstances he does not want to leave the club. According to Sportsmail, Tottenham has sent him a new proposal in the last hours, to which he has responded again with a negative, not only because of the close objective of qualifying for the next Champions League but because in Leicester he has all control of the decisions in the sports field, something that he would not have in Tottenham.
Daniel Levy, president of the spurs, is aware of Rodgers' reservations and also that time is short. Levy does not want Mourinho's replacement to extend into the summer so that the new coach can plan for the next season well in advance. But it is not turning out to be easy.
