Julian Nagelsmann tempted by the opportunity to become Tottenham manager after rejecting Chelsea

Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly very tempted to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager after ruling himself out of contention for the Chelsea job. 

The German boss was sacked by Bayern Munich in a highly surprising move last month, with the Bundesliga giants later installing Thomas Tuchel in his place. 

Nagelsmann led the Bavarians to success in the German league and the Super Cup in his first season in charge. 

And even though they were only a point behind leaders Borussia Dortmund in the table, the club hierarchy decided to part company with him before the international break. 

However, the 35-year-old soon started attracting interest from some of the top clubs in Europe. 

He was linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea after they dismissed Antonio Conte and Graham Potter respectively. 

But the young manager turned down their initial approaches as he wanted to take a short break before returning to management. 

At one point, the former RB Leipzig boss looked one of the top favourites to take the reins of Chelsea after holding talks with them. But he ultimately decided to withdraw from the interview process. 

Now according to BILD, Nagelsmann is thinking about joining Tottenham as their new manager. 

It is said he has a fondness for the club, watching them a lot when Mauricio Pochettino was at the helm of affairs.

The North Londoners are currently enduring a difficult period in the English league. They placed Cristian Stellini in interim charge after the dismissal of Conte, but results have been disastrous under the Italian. 

Sunday’s humiliating 6-1 loss at Newcastle United was their second consecutive defeat in the Premier League. 

The latest setback means Spurs are now six points behind Manchester United despite having played two extra games.
