Feyernood boss, Arne Slot is set to become new Tottenham manager after Antonio Conte exited the club.
Tottenham have been in search of a new hand in the club’s dugout after they terminated Antonio Conte’s contract on mutual agreement.
According to De Telegraaf, Feyernood manager, Arne Slot, 44, is set to become Tottenham’s new manager.
The report adds Arne Slot has accepted to become Tottenham manager but talks are still progressing between the two parties.
Meanwhile, he still has a year remaining in his Feyernood contract. Feyernood want to keep him after his Eredivisie success this season but may be tempted to let him go if his £6m release clause is met by Tottenham.
Slot won the Eredivisie this season with Feyernood. He reached Europa Conference League final last year in his first season with the club and has been deemed as one of most promising Dutch managers. Hence, he has been tipped to be a perfect fit to upturn Tottenham’s recent misfortunes.
His imminent move to Tottenham is a big step in his career. However, it is still unclear whether he will be able to replicate his success at AZ Alkmaar and Feyernood at Tottenham.
