Leverkusen went from being a relegation threat to finishing sixth in the league and reaching the semifinals of the Europa League under his leadership.
Spurs are also impressed by Vincent Kompany’s leadership in helping Burnley win the Championship this season and return to the Premier League. However, the former Manchester City captain has just signed a new five-year deal with the Lancashire club.
Rangnick: Nagelsmann a good fit for Tottenham
Ralf Rangnick indicated Nagelsmann might work well at Tottenham last month.
The former Manchester United manager, who coached Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, believed at the time that the Spurs setup, where he would work alongside a sporting director, would suit his young colleague.
Between 2012 and 2015, as well as again from 2019 to 2020, Rangnick served in that capacity for the Red Bull franchise of clubs, which includes Leipzig and Salzburg.
“I think Tottenham is an exciting club in many ways,” Rangnick said in an interview.
“They probably have one of the most modern, beautiful stadiums in the world at the moment. They have one of the best training centers, that is there at the moment and Daniel Levy, who has been leading the club for many, many years.
“Although he is not a big spender, he knows the football business and would not put himself in the center of the cameras.
“If Tottenham really want [Nagelsmann], then I think it would be important if a sporting director was still there to support him.
“It can be a very, very exciting story. There is room for improvement, a lot of room for improvement and yet this is not a club where the house expects you to be in the top one or two right away.”
After Fabio Paratici quit his position as sporting director at Tottenham last month, it is still unknown who will replace him.
According to information provided to Naija Rhythm, Johannes Spors is one of the sporting directors the north London team is considering.
For a number of clubs, including Genoa, Standard Liege, and Melbourne Victory, Spors serves as the worldwide sporting director.
