Tottenham news: Feyenoord boss Arne Slot could leave the Dutch champions to become Spurs' new manager for the 2023/24 season
Despite no director of football at the club, Slot is attracting significant attention from Tottenham with Feyenoord in talks with his agent about a possible exit, according to the Daily Mail. Although nothing has been officially announced, there is clear concern on the side of the newly-crowned Dutch champions that their manager will leave for Spurs.
According to Voetbal International, Feyenoord director Dennis te Kloese has already compiled a list of potential successors if Slot chooses to join Tottenham. On that list is Blackburn head coach and Feyenoord legend Jon Dahl Tomasson, PEC Zwolle manager Dick Schreuder, Al-Jazira head boss Marcel Keizer and Peter Bosz, who was last at French club Lyon.
Slot delivered a crucial update on his future last Sunday which hinted at the possibility of him leaving. “I think we all need clarity as soon as possible,” Slot told ESPN. “But a number of things are clear. That I said 'no' to Leeds United during the winter break and that I want to do everything I can to become champions here. And that I either stay, and if I don't stay, it will also be very good for Feyenoord.
"Provided there is a departure, it will not only be good for me, but also for Feyenoord. But it could also be very good for Feyenoord if I stay. And I think that will show in the coming weeks.”
