[OSEN=우충원 기자] Tottenham are moving quickly to appoint coach Arner Slot (Feyenoord).
European football transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio said on the 20th (Korea time), “Tottenham currently consider Slot as their ‘top priority’ as their next head coach. “There has been a positive response,” he said.
Tottenham fired manager Antonio Conte (Italy) at the end of March for poor performance. After that, he set out to find a new command tower, but it wasn’t easy.
When Fabio Paratici, the head coach of the team, left while being punished by the International Football Federation (FIFA), there was no one in charge to lead the negotiations. To make matters worse, Tottenham are in the worst position. As the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League was frustrated, Tottenham were excluded from an attractive club.
Negotiations broke down completely due to disagreements over the right to recruit players and the appointment of a new general manager, even with coach Julian Nagelsmann, Tottenham took the most active challenge as a new manager. After that, I considered the next best thing, like Roberto De Zerbi (Italy), Ruben Amorim (Portugal), and Xabi Alonso (Spain), but it was not possible.
In the end, the work of appointing a new head coach went back to the starting point, and Tottenham took a serious interest and tried to contact Slot, who showed excellent leadership, such as leading the Dutch Eredivisie championship this season. And at the moment, the possibility of appointment is increasing as the positive trend continues.
In particular, Tottenham intends to pay a penalty of 6 million pounds (10 billion won) to appoint a slot manager who still has a contract period with Feyenoord (Netherlands). In the process, it is seen that an annual salary of more than 3 million pounds (about 5 billion won) will be promised. / 10bird@osen.co.kr
