Some great tales here of great managers - Klopp, Wenger, Mourinho - who were not their clubs' first choice. So Spurs could yet smash this. Again. Ish.
missing out on a top managerial targetFeyenoord head coach Arne Slot has withdrawn from the running to take over in north London, with whoever Spurs eventually appoint arriving with the knowledge that they were behind at least a few of Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, Vincent Kompany, Xabi Alonso and many more in terms of the boardroom’s thinking.
Perhaps cowing to a fanbase which leaned more towards the proven trophy-winning capabilities of the latter, who had won four straight Eredivisie titles with Ajax by this point, Spurs acted on an interest they had held for months by engaging in official talks with De Boer. Those public comments ultimately frustrated Spurs and ended their dalliance with De Boer, with the more private Mauricio Pochettino plucked from Southampton instead.
In any case, Harry Redknapp provided the scoop, saying: “I have heard from good sources that [Ancelotti] was offered the Liverpool job. I don’t think [he wanted it]. They spoke to him at some stage.” Sir Alex Ferguson was the candidate Roman Abramovich coveted most, before Mourinho would have even come into the picture. The new Chelsea owner never fancied Claudio Ranieri and immediately sought to replace him with Man Utd’s crown jewel.
