According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, via Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho 'doesn't survive' in north London after having played 'all his credits' - with the Italian outlet explaining that chairman Daniel Levy is still keeping tabs on Julian Nagelsmann to 'immediately' replace him should he be sacked.

Nagelsmann, who has been very heavily linked to the potential manager's job at Tottenham, coming amid mounting pressure on Mourinho, is now at the centre of another update linking him with the position - this time from Italy.

Tottenham eyeing immediate Jose successor in Nagelsmann

Corriere dello Sport explain that Serie A giants AS Roma 'would have preferred Nagelsmann' when commenting on their links to Massimiliano Allegri, but their fondness for the exciting RB Leipzig boss is thwarted by both Bayern Munich and Tottenham's interest.

Sport Witness relay this report that Spurs are indeed still keeping tabs on the 33-year-old, recently hailed as 'fearless' and a 'trailblazer' in an ESPN profile, and it is shared that his appointment would be 'immediately’ post-Mourinho.

Providing a bleak view on the Portuguese boss' future in north London, this report believes he 'doesn't survive' after having played 'all of his credits' - with these phrases painting a serious picture amid the pressure on Mourinho.

Transfer Tavern take

Tottenham are already out of the Europa League after a humiliating Last 16 second leg defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, blowing a fairly comfortable two-goal cushion as they crashed out 3-2 on aggregate.

There is hope for the Lilywhites, however, as they remain in contention for a Champions League qualifying place and have a Carabao Cup final against Manchester City in April.

A strong finish to 2020/2021 could turn the tide, but as it stands, reports continue to link Nagelsmann with Mourinho's seemingly tenuous Tottenham position.
