Former Tottenham Hotspur hero Graham Roberts believes Julian Nagelsmann was the club’s first choice to replace Jose Mourinho as manager.
Spurs sacked Mourinho earlier this season after falling as low as ninth in the Premier League table.
The Portuguese struggled to give the club the consistency needed to finish in the top four, as they routinely threw away leads and lost to those clubs above them in the Premier League table.
Should Levy break the bank for Rodgers?
100% – YES!
NO WAY!
Spurs are yet to appoint a new boss, having given Ryan Mason the job on an interim basis until the end of the season.
Nagelsmann was touted as a top target in the immediate aftermath of Mourinho’s sacking but he has instead opted to join Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig, replacing Hansi Flick, who has agreed to become the manager of the German national team.
Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, Roberts claimed that Spurs initially believed they would appoint the German prior to his move to Bayern.
He said: “I think the Nagelsmann one mucked everything up because they thought they were going to get him.
“With the Bayern Munich manager going, it mucked everything up and put everything on the back foot.”
