Next Tottenham manager: The men who could replace Antonio Conte, including Julian Nagelsmann
Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as a candidate for the vacant managerial position at Tottenham Hotspur following the departure of Antonio Conte.
The Italian has agreed to depart north London by mutual agreement, meaning attention now turns to who might replace him. In the interim, Conte's assistant Cristian Stellini will take charge of the first team, but he is not thought to be a candidate for the full-time role.
Naglesmann was sacked by Bayern Munich last week with the Bundesliga club appointing former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel – another who had been linked with the position at Tottenham.
Here Telegraph Sport assess the leading names as Tottenham prepare for one of the most important appointments in their recent history.
The young gun: Julian Nagelsmann
Thomas Tuchel's gain is theoretically Julian Nagelsmann's loss. But the 35-year-old's Munich sacking puts him back on the market and he is a candidate to become Tottenham's own Mikel Arteta. His fast-paced style of play would appease fans and the German has already proved himself at a club wanting to challenge the elite: RB Leipzig.
The fans' choice: Mauricio Pochettino
There’s a sense of unfinished business with Pochettino and Tottenham and the sense of optimism around his potential return is something Levy may buy into. Sacked just four months after taking the club to their first Champions League final, the Argentinian would be a romantic choice to lead the rebuild which was taken away from him. But he would have to completely revamp a squad that is arguably worse than the one he left behind four seasons ago.
The long-term project: Roberto De Zerbi
Poaching a manager from an over-achieving Premier League rival has gone either way for Tottenham with Pochettino and the short tenure of Nuno Espírito Santo producing very different results. Roberto De Zerbi would be more Poch than Nuno, but should Levy look at Chelsea as a test case for Brighton managers making the jump to the big time?
The proven track record: Brendan Rodgers
Leicester may be in a slump but, under Rodgers, they have won more trophies in the past 15 years than Tottenham. Rodgers has experience of rebuilding struggling teams and a title challenge with Liverpool, a treble with Celtic and a FA Cup with Leicester show he is quite good at turning things around with limited resources.
The terrace favourite: Ryan Mason
The former Tottenham midfielder had to cut his playing career short after a nasty head injury but turned to coaching almost straight away. At the age of 29 he became the youngest man to take a team into a Premier League match in 2021 when he took over on an interim basis from Jose Mourinho. Championship clubs have shown an interest in handing him his first full-time job and Spurs players are believed to enjoy his company at the training ground. But is it too early?
The Scottish choice: Ange Postecoglou
Or maybe the Australian one? Postecoglou has brought Celtic back to the top of Scottish football in just over 18 months in charge after being knocked off their perch by Rangers and is already being touted for bigger things.
The Greece-born Australian is respected highly in coaching circles and his record does not go unnoticed but his appointment would be a risk given the huge step up to the Premier League.
The little-known choice: Arne Slot
The Dutchman is not a household name amid the top European managers yet, but there is a belief he will be after his recent achievements at Feyenoord. The 44-year-old has the club dreaming of their first league title in six years with them having a healthy lead over big spenders Ajax. He has produced progressive football on a limited budget which would appeal to Tottenham’s hierarchy.
The continental approach: Luis Enrique
Appointing a manager who is yet to manage in the Premier League would signal a change of direction under Levy but the Spurs chairman has shown he is a man willing to make big calls.
The club has not had a manager with no prior Premier League experience since Juande Ramos in 2008, but Enrique's time at Barcelona and the Spanish national team proved he may have what it takes to be successful in England.
