‘Arguably the best option’ – Some Spurs fans react to links with 62-yr-old manager – originally posted on Sportslens.com
German manager Ralf Rangnick has been offered the Tottenham Hotspur job according to reports.
Bild journalist Christian Falk claims that the London club are still looking for a permanent replacement for Jose Mourinho and they have identified the German as a target after missing out on the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Jesse Marsch and Erik Ten Hag.
It will be interesting to see if the Premier League side can secure an agreement with Rangnick in the coming weeks.
Currently, Ryan Mason is managing the London club and Spurs must look to sort out their managerial situation as soon as possible.
The new manager will need a lot of time to prepare his squad for the next season it would be ideal if the Premier League side can finalise the appointment before pre-season begins.
The German manager has considerable experience and he could be the ideal man to rebuild Tottenham. Spurs have a talented core but they need someone who can freshen up the squad and implement an effective style of play.
His high-pressing attacking style of football should be a hit with the Spurs fans. Furthermore, he has an incredible track record of signing talented players on a bargain.

He‘s basically the godfather of pressing. He‘s a very good coach and has an incredible eye for talent. Arguably the best option Tottenham could get. https://t.co/ake9pUglhW

Rangnick is someone who doesn’t just make world class teams. he even creates clubs and coaches. All success of hoffenheim leipzig is due to him.
Mastermind of the pressing style which most German clubs adopt.
Mentor of Tuchel, Naglesmann, Marsch, Glasner and so many others— Alicia

He is definitely that, he is the “godfather” of gegenpressing, has influenced many German managers. Also has an eye for potential players

This would be great, get him as manager for the “rebuild” and he can change our scouting and then he can move to technical director

As a Bundesliga viewer, this man will work wonders but only if you let him do it by himself. 100% control freak, but a great tactical mind. Never misses with signings
