On Thursday, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that in addition to Slot, Rúben Amorim (Sporting CP) and Ange Postecoglou (Celtic) are also on the list in North London. “Tottenham have not yet made any decisions internally about which coach they should be,” said Romano. “They first make a decision about the management vacancy to be filled, after which decisions are made about the open trainer vacancy.”
The management vacancy refers to the filling of the position of technical director. Tim Steidten (former director of Bayer Leverkusen) is in the ‘top three’ of candidates, according to Romano. “Johannes Spors (former technical director of Vitesse, ed.) Was previously also a name on the list, but he dropped out. He had different ideas and views on future policy.
New contract
Feyenoord meanwhile is doing its best to keep Slot for the club. The day after winning the national title, director Dennis te Kloese confirmed that the coach can expect a much improved offer. According to The Telegraph he can even collect 3.5 million euros annually in De Kuip. His current contract runs until mid-2025.
