Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a number of managers in recent weeks, with latest name being Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Ruud van Nistelrooy recently left PSV Eindhoven after guiding them to two cup wins. A report from Fichajes claims that Tottenham are now looking to appoint the 46-year-old as their next manager.
It will be interesting to see if the former Manchester United striker is ready to take over the challenge at Tottenham in the coming weeks. Tottenham are yet to appoint a long-term replacement for Antonio Conte after the Italian was dismissed following a public outburst. Former midfielder Ryan Mason is currently the interim manager of the club.
It has been a dismal campaign for Tottenham, and they have missed out on Champions League qualification. They need to bring in a quality manager so that they can get back into the top four and challenge for trophies next season.
Ruud van Nistelrooy managed to win two trophies at PSV. But he is a largely unproven manager at this level and his appointment could prove to be a gamble for Tottenham. The fans will be hoping for a manager who can turn things around immediately.
Furthermore, the appointment of the Manchester United legend might not be enough to convince key players like Harry Kane to stay at the club beyond this season. The 29-year-old has been linked with a move away from Tottenham, especially with his contract expiring in 2024.
Kane will be hoping that the club can show some ambition in the market this summer and bring in a proven winner who can convince top players to join the club. The 46-year-old Dutchman did an impressive job at PSV, and he might develop into a quality manager in the near future. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham have been linked with managers like Julian Nagelsmann and Arne Slot as well. While Slot has no interest in leaving Feyenoord, Nagelsmann is unwilling to join a club without a Sporting Director. Former Spanish national team manager Luis Enrique is reportedly on the Tottenham shortlist as well.
