Jurgen Klinsmann has now distanced himself from speculation linking him with the Tottenham Hotspur hot seat.
The likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Vincent Kompany, Arne Slot, Thomas Frank and several others have been mooted as potential contenders to replace Antonio Conte at Tottenham over the last few weeks (Daily Star).
On Monday, Kicker (as relayed by GGFN) suggested that Klinsmann had also emerged as a shock target for the role.
The German, who had two spells at White Hart Lane during his playing days, admitted back in 2021 that he did have a conversation with Daniel Levy regarding the managerial job before the club eventually hired Nuno Espirito Santo (FourFourTwo).
Even though Klinsmann only took over as South Korea’s head coach in February, Kicker asserted that he is now on Tottenham’s shortlist to replace Antonio Conte.
However, the 55-year-old has now insisted that he is quite happy to remain in charge of The Taegeuk Warriors.
Speaking about Spurs’ current situation, Klinsmann told Sky Sports Football (16/04/23): “Of course, their result (against Bournemouth) was disappointing because it was a massive game for them in the fight for the Champions League spots.
“It’s a tough period for Spurs right now. But I think they will get through it. And I hope they finish in the top four.”
When asked if he has been asked by the North London club to help out as manager, the Spurs icon responded: “No, no, no worries. I am very happy with my role with South Korea.”
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no chance that Klinsmann would be considered by the Spurs hierarchy.
While his appointment might go down well with some sections of the Tottenham fan base, it would certainly not be an ambitious one and would not send the right sort of signal to the likes of Harry Kane.
