Lille boss Christophe Galtier has aimed a dig at Tottenham Hotspur for the recent departure of two of his backroom staff. 

When Jose Mourinho took over from Mauricio Pochettino he also had to fill several of the coaching positions at Spurs. 

He looked to French side Lille, appointing his compatriots Joao Sacramento and Nuno Santos. 

It was, of course, an incident which left the Lille boss disappointed and he has again spoken about Tottenham’s luring away of two members of staff this weekend. 

Speaking to beIN Sports regarding the future of striker Victor Osimhen, Galtier suggested the Nigerian would not be leaving in January. However, he also had to admit he had recently seen the unpredictable side of football first hand. 

“Will Victor Osimhen stay until the end of the season? Yes, I believe so. 

“But in football, nothing is safe. I can confirm this with regard to the weeks I have just had.”

TBR’s View

Tottenham did nothing particularly wrong with the appointment of their new staff. Lille, with all due respect, are not as big a club and the chance to work with Mourinho would likely have been too good an opportunity for the coaches to turn down. 

The Lille boss will probably just be hoping that Mourinho does not turn his attention onto his sensational striker Osimhen. If so, he might soon have even more reason to dislike Tottenham’s boss.
