Tottenham are ramping up their efforts to appoint Arne Slot as negotiations advanced even further in the last few days.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are inching closer to appointing Arne Slot as their new manager. Bringing in a new man at the helm is considered imperative from Spurs’ perspective, with talks advancing with the 44-year-old league winner.
Tottenham are still clinging to hopes of finishing in a European place as they enter the final matchday of the season. After 37 rounds, Spurs languish in the 8th spot on the table and have to better Aston Villa’s result in the last game week to stand a chance to play Conference League football.
After achieving their best start to a Premier League season ever, Tottenham have dovetailed dramatically and have lost out on all races this season. The campaign has included plenty of drama in the background, with Ryan Mason, their third manager to take charge in 2023.
Fans have already grown tired of the ownership, with many supporter groups protesting every week. Chairman Daniel Levy has an important decision on his hand with appointing a Sporting director, but more essentially, a new manager to lead the line.
Mauricio Pochettino was touted as the early favourite to re-join the club. But the Argentine is now certain to manage arch-rivals Chelsea instead. Other names like Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann have come and gone, and they are no longer in the running to become the new Tottenham Manager.
In the last weeks, 44-year-old league winner Arne Slot emerged as a prime target for Tottenham, with the club advancing in talks with the Dutchman. Having experienced a terrific season in the Eredivisie, leading Feyenoord to a league title, the coach is primed to take the Spurs hot seat.
Having opened talks with Slot a few days ago, Tottenham have now advanced to a good negotiation stage. Levy is reportedly willing to concede and hand Slot the control over transfers and appointment of the coaching staff. Whether it is a mood of change over in north London remains the question. But it’s certainly a step forward in the right direction.
The 44-year-old league winner reportedly has a £6 million clause in his contract, which may not prove problematic for Spurs. Slot will bring with him the winning mentality so desperately needed at Tottenham. The 44-year-old league winner could aim to challenge for honours if he becomes their main manager. But before that, he will have much work to do to balance this uneven squad of players.
