Reports from Spain have stated that current Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui was approached by Tottenham's president Daniel Levy and his cohorts.
It is no news that Tottenham has been in search of a permanent manager after the sack of Jose Mourinho.
In line with that, the present Sevilla manager was the latest to have been approached by the Tottenham board.
Reactions from the Sevilla camp
Executives in Sevilla have confirmed the rumours that suggested their manager was approached by Tottenham.
Nonetheless, they further went on to state that Julen Lopetegui is focused on the Sevilla job. Insisting the manager has no interest in cross-carpeting.
Tottenham's managerial search
Ever since the exit of the ‘special one' Tottenham has found it difficult to get his replacement.
Funny enough, Jose Mourinho has even sealed another employment deal with AS Roma. While the English side is yet to find his replacement.
To be precise, Tottenham's search for a managerial candidate has lasted for about 3 months.
Today, the press gives updates on Gennaro Gattuso. Tomorrow, it is Antonio Conte and yet another day it is Paulo Fonseca Sealing a managerial deal has proven to be a tough nut to crack.
The most recent managerial candidate for Tottenham
The most recent managerial candidate, before Julen Lopetegui, was Italian manager Gennaro Gattuso.
According to reports, Tottenham was closed to sealing the deal. Nonetheless, the negotiations broke down. A similar story was the case with Conte.
Conclusion
Even for teams below the level of Tottenham, managerial search does not prove as difficult as it is for the North London side.
In line with that, evidence point to the fact that the Tottenham board is failing to give these managers a conducive working environment.
These facts do not put the Tottenham board in a favourable light. The earlier it is solved the better for the Club's legacy.
