Another manager left frustrated by Tottenham – Spurs leave a trail of bemusement in their wake

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a new manager has caught attention from all over the world as they’ve been without a permanent manager since they sacked José Mourinho in April.

Spurs, as of now, are not close to announcing a new coach as they continue to stumble from one target to another.

Sevilla president José Castro Carmona has confirmed Julen Lopetegui rejected a ‘dizzying’ offer from the north London club.

Daniel Levy’s decision to bring Fabio Paratici in has seen Tottenham linked with coaches with Serie A experience. After Antonio Conte failed to find an agreement to return to London, Spurs moved on to Paulo Fonseca.

The former AS Roma manager seemed close to being appointed as the new manager earlier this month, before Tottenham held talks Gennaro Gattuso.

Fonseca found out that Spurs have moved on from him through the media, and Paratici was accused of betraying the Portuguese coach. The pair were said to have held talks for two days in Lake Como, before Fonseca was left bemused by the whole thing being called off.

Back to Gattuso, and Il Bianconero claim the former AC Milan manager ‘did not take the negotiations with Tottenham well’, and this has been backed up by Lorenzo Insigne.

The Napoli star spoke to his former manager and the latter told the Italy international the situation with Tottenham “was a mess!”.
