# Tottenham: Daniel Levy eyes Erik Ten Hag

**According to Alasdair Gold, Tottenham are interested in appointing Erik ten Hag as their new manager.**

### **Spurs eye Ten Hag**

Following the sacking of Jose Mourinho, it had been suggested that Julian Nagelsmann was heavily on Spurs’ radar ([Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9488417/Tottenham-identify-RB-Leipzig-boss-Julian-Naglesmann-target-Jose-Mourinho-replacement.html)). However, he has now been [confirmed as the new Bayern Munich manager](https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1386964880671002626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1386964880671002626%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eurosport.com%2Ffootball%2Fbundesliga%2F2020-2021%2Fjulian-nagelsmann-confirmed-as-new-bayern-munich-boss-will-take-charge-of-champions-in-the-summer_sto8293235%2Fstory.shtml).

In a Q&A for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/daniel-levy-erik-ten-hag-20470777.amp), Gold revealed THAT Ten Hag is one of a number of managers on the north London outfit’s shortlist.

### **Fantastic option**

With the likes of Bayern (Sky via [bulinews.com](https://bulinews.com/news/3792/report-bayern-make-initial-contact-with-erik-ten-hag)) and Barcelona ([Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/ten-hag-agradece-interes-del-barca-7454957)) being previously linked with the Dutchman, it is perhaps a surprise that he is still at Ajax. He has done a marvellous job in Amsterdam – he is closing in on his second Eredivisie title at the Johan Cruyff Arena, has averaged 2.32 points per game during his time at the club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erik-ten-hag/profil/trainer/3816)) and also took them to the Champions League semi-finals in the 2018/19 season.

He also has a reputation of developing younger players, with the likes of [Matthijs de Ligt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matthijs-de-ligt/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/326031/plus/0/verein/610/trainer_id/3816) and [Frenkie de Jong](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/frenkie-de-jong/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/326330/plus/0/verein/610/trainer_id/3816) flourishing under his tutelage. Quite frankly, there are few better coaches in Europe that Daniel Levy could target, and he certainly seems attainable.
