Spurs warned against appointing Sarri as Redknapp assesses options

Spurs are supposedly in active search for a permanent replacement for Jose Mourinho, who was relieved of his duties last week.

Maurizio Sarri will “not excite the Spurs fans one bit”, claims Jamie Redknapp as he assesses managerial options for Tottenham.

Sarri’s name has come up as Tottenham search for a permanent replacement for Jose Mourinho.

Currently out of job, the 62-year-old, who guided Chelsea to Europa League glory in 2018-19 and Juventus to Serie A success the following season, is supposedly being considered by the north London side.

RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, and Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, among others, meanwhile, are being viewed as the candidates to take Spurs’ reins.

“Maurizio Sarri will not excite the Spurs fans one bit, not one bit,” Redknapp told Sky Sports after Tottenham’s defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

“You’d imagine Julian Nagelsmann will go and take the Bayern Munich job. Nuno Espirito Santo – does that excite me? Not sure.

“Scott Parker looks like he might be going down with Fulham, but has history with Tottenham. Rafa Benitez? No. Brendan Rodgers, would you leave Leicester now, where you have established something?”
