As Jose Mourinho departs on the day where it seems football has died, particularly for Spurs fans along with the rest of the top six, Spurs are left without a permanent manager to take the club forward and help us achieve our ambitions.
At the moment, former player Ryan Mason will be taking charge until the end of the season, and while he is one of our own and is a Spurs fan so will share the team’s immediate best interests, the club are targeting a number of new managers who would take over immediately.

Us fans were previously informed by various sources, journalists and media outlets that RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann would not be the next Spurs manager, but despite this, he remains the odds-on favourite for the job – and the fans number one choice.

It was believed he could be in-line to be the next Germany manager or the next Bayern manager, but speculation has cooled and interest from Spurs reignited, with Daniel Levy desperate to have Nagelsmann in North London.
The 33-year-old has already managed 224 games overall in his managerial career which started at Hoffenheim before he made a move to Leipzig where he has a win percentage of 59.09% and has also led the German club to a Champions League Semi-Final last year in which they lost 3-0 on aggregate to Thomas Tuchel’s PSG.
The issue is though, that even if Levy throws whatever money he can at the German manager, Nagelsmann’s nation and the club presidents and owners are all at this present time completely against the idea of the European Super League, and have condemned all the clubs that have agreed to participate in it.

You break that bank for Julian Nagelsmann, Mr Levy.

Many managers will be completely against the idea and so they should be, so will Spurs be able to convince Nagelsmann to take charge at the club even after all the backlash and hurt that the proposition has caused the fans?
Will there be other managers sacked or leave on their own doing due to the European Super League going ahead? We can’t imagine that there are many managers in the world that would willingly take up a job in these circumstances.
