TBR’s View: Nagelsmann would bring a good vibe to Tottenham
It was always going to be risky business for Julian Nagelsmann to take the Bayern job. It’s such a huge step up that if you don’t win the title with ease and compete for Europe, then life gets tough quickly.
For Tottenham, though, Nagelsmann will appeal. At 35, he is very much a young manager learning his trade but he already had experience.
In reality, this could be just what Spurs need. A young, vibrant manager willing to take the shackles off and excite the crowd. Certainly, Daniel Levy could do a lot worse.
