Luis Enrique is reportedly still in the running to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
That’s according to The Athletic, who have given extensive detail on the current mood and feeling currently in the Spurs camp.
Enrique’s last management job was in charge of the Spanish national team, he left the role following their exit in the World Cup’s Round of 16 stage against Morocco last year.
Tottenham and their last manager Antonio Conte parted ways at the end of March, with Cristian Stellini taking over as interim head coach.
However, that wouldn’t last long and he would then be sacked following a 6-1 thumping by Newcastle United last weekend. This led to the club appointing Ryan Mason who will be in charge of Spurs temporarily until the end of the season.
Enrique is someone who’s won a number of honours in his time as manager, most of them with La Liga giants Barcelona. He’s attained a Champions League, two La Liga titles and three Spanish Cups during his time there.
Should Spurs be able to land the former Barca and Spain boss it would be a huge coup, you feel there’s not many better than him at the moment without a job.
So in that sense, it will be an immense challenge for Enrique if he were to reach an agreement with Spurs. However, he may well relish the thought of it and believe he’s the man to bring the club their first trophy since 2008.
Has anyone even considered the possibility that in the increasingly likely event of Mauricio Pochettino being named Chelsea manager imminently, that Harry Kane could up following to link up with his old boss under whom he flourished in the very first place. I think Levy is displaying his usual level of naivety and poor decision making in ignoring the former Spurs manager in Tottenham’s search for the present vacancy! Because let’s not forget how far the Argentine maestro took us during his reign as manager.
