“Ange Postecoglou Emerges as Bookies’ Favorite for Tottenham Manager Vacancy, slot rejects Spurs”

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has become the bookies’ favorite for the vacant job at Tottenham.

Arne Slot, who won the Eredivisie with Feyenoord this season, had been the favorite to replace Antonio Conte after the Italian was sacked in March.

But on Thursday morning he revealed who wants to stay at Feyenoord next year, after holding crucial talks with his club on Wednesday, in a major blow to Spurs and chairman Daniel Levy.

I have heard many rumors about the interest of other clubs in me. Although I am grateful, my wish is to stay at Feyenoord and continue working on what we created last year.’ he declared.

‘Yesterday’s meeting was exclusively for an extension. All conversations with the club have always been only in that sense. I’m looking forward to next season with Feyenoord’.

Mail Sport reported how Spurs they have “great respect” for Nagelsmann, but currently have no plans to pursue his interestwhile the 44-year-old Nagelsmann himself was also not entirely convinced with the club’s direction this summer.

Slot remains fourth favorite at 6/1, the same price as former Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.

Levy is under increasing pressure from fans after several failed decisions this season and Slot’s decision to reject the club has left him short on options.

Sporting manager Ruben Amorim and Graham Potter, unemployed after being sacked by Chelsea, are at odds of 11/1.

Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui, former PSV manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and former Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira have 14 odds to 1 to clinch the job.

Bradford City manager Mark Hughes is even on his list, with the Welshman at 100/1

Former Tottenham manager José Mourinho, who was sacked by the club in April 2021 after 17 months in charge of the team, is a great bet at 100/1.
