Tottenham will have to pay close to £10 million to hire Julian Nagelsmann
According to the Telegraph (Subscription Required), Tottenham Hotspur will have to pay close to £10 million as a compensation fee to Bayern Munich to sign their former manager Julian Nagelsmann.
Nagelsmann’s impressive reputation in Germany is well-known, having brought success to both Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig before joining Bayern Munich. However, his time with the German giants came to a disappointing end when he was relieved of his duties in March.
Despite this, there have been positive discussions between Tottenham and Nagelsmann, and he is believed to be keen on the job. However, the potential compensation fee is a significant hurdle for Spurs to overcome.
When considering this and the German coach’s high wages, it is clear that Nagelsmann’s appointment would be a costly one for Tottenham. So, the club needs to gauge if this would be a worthy one.
However, there are also concerns about the situation regarding the sporting director role at Spurs, and how that will affect Nagelsmann’s ability to build a team capable of winning silverware. He will want reassurances that he will have the support he needs to succeed at Tottenham.
The decision to appoint a new manager is a crucial one for Tottenham. They have been trophyless for a while now and are in desperate need of a change in direction. Nagelsmann could be the man to provide that change, but only if Spurs are willing to pay the price.
It is worth noting that there are other options available to Tottenham. Arne Slot, Xabi Alonso and Luis Enrique are all said to be on the club’s shortlist. While Nagelsmann may be the most high-profile of the candidates, the others should not be overlooked.
Ultimately, Tottenham must weigh up the pros and cons of each candidate and decide who is the best fit for the club. If they do decide to go for Nagelsmann, it’ll be a great choice that the club makes.
