This was a really good discussion that Spurs really need to mix up their management and get bigger. Levy doing it all is just bad.

not mad about it tbh. think conte would have been mou 2.0 here.

graham potter and eddie howe…come on down! you’re the next contestants on “the managerial price is right”, with your host daniel levy.

I'll take Eddie Howe over Potter. Honestly, Levy should just pay PSG whatever they want and get Poch back at this point.

What in the wide world of managers is going on here?

Spoiler

Tottenham are closing in on the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as Jose Mourinho’s permanent successor after talks with Paulo Fonseca collapsed after days of negotiations.

 

Spurs had been in advanced talks with Fonseca since last week and it was hoped an agreement could be announced at the start of this week.

 

Talks broke down, however, and Spurs have now turned their attention to Gattuso after the Italian surprisingly left Fiorentina after just 23 days.

 

Tottenham’s managing director Fabio Paratici had spoken to Gattuso about the Juventus job at the end of last season.

Au contraire my friends.

According to this article, backlash from Spurs fans (#NoToGattuso was trending across the pond yesterday) ultimately led us to end talks.

 

Spoiler

Tottenham’s protracted search for a new manager will continue after the north London club decided against appointing Gennaro Gattuso to the vacant position, The Athletic can reveal.

 

The Italian emerged as a potential option for Spurs yesterday alongside Paulo Fonseca, with whom talks are believed to have broken down. Earlier in the day, Gattuso surprisingly departed Fiorentina after only 23 days at the helm.

 

Conversations took place between Tottenham and the 43-year-old former AC Milan and Napoli manager — as they have done with numerous contenders — however, Gattuso will not be getting the job.

 

There was a huge backlash from Spurs fans after reports that Gattuso was the leading candidate.

 

Historic comments allegedly made by the ex-Italy midfielder about the role of women in football, same-sex marriage and racism were repeatedly shared by Tottenham supporters on social media, accompanied by the hashtag #NoToGattuso, which was trending in the United Kingdom last night.

 

Tottenham’s new managing director Fabio Paratici had been speaking to Fonseca over the past week about the vacant position. He had considered hiring Gattuso as Pirlo’s successor at Juventus earlier this summer.

 

Gattuso, who parted ways with Napoli last month, walked away from Fiorentina before he had even officially started in the job.

 

Before Gattuso and Fonseca, Spurs are reported to have held discussions with their old manager Mauricio Pochettino — now at Paris Saint-Germain — as well as Antonio Conte, who left Inter last month after winning the Scudetto, and Hansi Flick, who will join the German national team after Euro 2020.

 

In a letter to Tottenham fans at the end of the season, the chairman Daniel Levy wrote that the board had “lost sight of some key priorities and what’s truly in our DNA”, adding: “We are acutely aware of the need to select someone whose values reflect those of our great club and return to playing football with the style for which we are known — free-flowing, attacking and entertaining — while continuing to embrace our desire to see young players flourish from our academy alongside experienced talent.”

 

Tomorrow will mark two months to the day that Tottenham sacked Jose Mourinho, and the club subsequently failed to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League.

If I were Spurs, I take this deal no question. 

In Romano's article in The Guardian from today, the deal is actually £100m in cash and/or players. It's not £100m in addition to players. It's a lowball offer.

Think this is paywalled and wouldn't let me copy/paste, but headline pretty much says it all, "Tottenham holding talks to finalize appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo"

TLDR: face to face talks in London today with a deal in principle already agreed upon.

I'm shocked that The Sun running with a shit report from the Turkish media was wrong.

Tottenham holding talks to finalise appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo

Tottenham Hotspur are holding face-to-face talks in London today to finalise the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo, having agreed a deal in principle with the former Wolves manager.

Fabio Paratici, Tottenham’s new managing director of football, arrived in London on Tuesday and is expected to lead the talks with Nuno, who arrived in the city this morning. Paratici officially starts in his new role on Thursday.

The Athletic understands that Tottenham are confident of striking a deal with Nuno, who left Wolves at the end of last season by mutual agreement. Nuno became Tottenham’s primary target after an executive meeting on Tuesday.

Spurs have been without a permanent manager since sacking Jose Mourinho in April. The club have held talks with Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino, Hansi Flick, Paulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gattuso and Julen Lopetegui since the end of the Premier League season.

 

What do I need to know?

Talks between Nuno and Tottenham are taking place today.

Paratici arrived in north London on Tuesday with Nuno flying in from his post-season holiday on Wednesday morning.

Talks between the two parties are at an advanced stage and Tottenham are increasingly confident of hiring Nuno before the start of pre-season on Monday July 5.

Nuno was initially not a candidate when he left Wolves as Tottenham pursued other targets, but is now the leading contender, with Spurs having exhausted numerous other options.

How did we get here?

Tottenham have held discussions with a number of potential managers since sacking Mourinho in April.

The club have been in talks with Conte, Pochettino and Flick.

Spurs were also close to hiring Fonseca, only for talks to collapse at a late stage due to their interest in Gattuso. But Spurs then u-turned once again after their supporters made their opposition to the Italian known.

In a letter to Tottenham fans at the end of the season, the chairman Daniel Levy wrote that the board had “lost sight of some key priorities and what’s truly in our DNA”.

He added: “We are acutely aware of the need to select someone whose values reflect those of our great club and return to playing football with the style for which we are known — free-flowing, attacking and entertaining — while continuing to embrace our desire to see young players flourish from our academy alongside experienced talent.”
