The reason why the ‘final cancellation of the Tottenham slot’ revealed “There was no negotiation … My wish is to stay at Feyenoord”

In the end, manager Arne Slot (44, Feyenoord) shook off Tottenham’s hand. Tottenham’s search for a new manager fell into the labyrinth again. The British BBC reported on the 25th (Korea time), “Coach Slott has decided not to leave Feyenoord,” and “has been excluded from the list of candidates for Tottenham.”

According to the media, director Slot said in an interview with the local Dutch media, “I know the interest and the rumors about me. Thank you, but my wish is to stay at Feyenoord and continue to build what we have been doing it since last year.”

Initially, it was said that Slott’s agent would negotiate the termination of the contract with Feyenoord. However, the story of the director’s slot was different. “There was no discussion with Tottenham, and there was a meeting yesterday with Feyenoord for an extension of the manager. Every conversation with the club has always had this meaning,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the next season with Feyenoord.”

European transfer expert Fabricio Romano also said on his social network service (SNS), “Director Slott is not going to Tottenham. For fans who were expecting Slot to come to Tottenham, this is disappointing news. After the resignation of manager Antonio Conte in March, Tottenham contacted several managerial candidates, including Julian Nagelsmann, but were unsuccessful. There were many people who wanted Slot’s seniority as Slot managed to rebuild at Feyenoord and showed excellent leadership. However, Tottenham started from scratch again with the appointment of a new manager. On this day, ESPN UK said, “Since Slott has been excluded from the managerial nomination, Tottenham have included former Spain manager Luis Enrique and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso back on the shortlist.”

Currently, Tottenham are in eighth place with one league game remaining. After head coach Christian Stellini, Ryan Mason took over as interim second manager, but after Conte’s resignation, the ranks declined even further. They failed to progress to the Europa League (UEL), let alone progress to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL), which they were aiming for. Son Heung-min’s concerns about playing the season without a formal coach are expected to continue. This is because a new manager must be appointed quickly so that the team can prepare for the next season in a stable atmosphere.
