Luis Enrique could sit down with Tottenham and discuss taking over their vacant managerial position, with Chelsea also keen.
The London managerial race is picking up heat as new candidates emerge every day. Luis Enrique is a familiar name on Tottenham’s list. And according to Football Insider, the two parties could discuss a move.
Reports from Spain on Wednesday pointed at Luis Enrique arriving in London to discuss the vacant managerial position at Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge outfit are keen on the 52-year-old former Spanish national manager as they continue to evaluate him among other targets.
Enrique remains without a job after leaving the Spanish team after their World Cup elimination. The 52-year-old Chelsea managerial target could also have eyeballs from the other London side seeking a new manager, as Tottenham show interest.
Spurs may have had sights on other targets. But recent reports suggested Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann are uninterested in the position. While they remain optimistic about all their current targets, Spurs could take the opportunity to discuss a move with Enrique.
With the 52-year-old Chelsea managerial target in London, it is all the more convenient to take the next steps. Enrique could sit down with Tottenham and understand a potential move to the club. The Spaniard remains open to a position in the Premier League, which he has yet to try in his successful career.
Spurs also have other names on their list but will appoint a new manager during the summer. Cristian Stellini will take charge for the remainder of the season and hope to achieve a top-four finish. As for Enrique, he will mull over joining either of the London sides.
Chelsea represents a big club with an enormous budget for Enrique to design the team as per his specifications. Tottenham are a massive club in their own right and could present an excellent opportunity to wrestle it out in the Premier League from next season onwards.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will keep their options open with the likes of Nagelsmann to become their new manager. They desperately seek a top name like the German or Enrique to take over at the club, something they will have to wait a while before finalising a name.
