Hansi Flick has reportedly expressed an interest in the Tottenham Hotspur manager’s job, according to The Telegraph.

Spurs are currently on the lookout for a new permanent manager after Jose Mourinho was sacked early last week, with Ryan Mason in caretaker charge until the end of the season.

Plenty of coaches have been linked with the Tottenham job in the past fortnight, with a couple of those having since committed their futures elsewhere.

Julian Nagelsmann, for example, will be moving from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich, while Erik ten Hag has signed a new contract at Ajax.

Flick, who steered Bayern to a famous treble last season, has already confirmed that he will depart the Allianz Arena in the summer, and has been linked with the Germany job.

However, The Telegraph claims that the 56-year-old “is thought to be interested in the Spurs post, despite being linked to the German national team job.

“Tottenham, as yet, are not thought to have reciprocated that interest,” added the outlet.

Some great names have been linked with the Spurs job, along with some names who, let’s just say haven’t gone down well amongst some Tottenham fans.

However, Flick would be a coup for the north Londoners, a manager who has done superbly at the very highest level and is also being linked with one of the best national teams in the world.

“He’s not only a great coach, he’s also a great person,” Robert Lewandowski told BILD, as quoted by the Bundesliga website.

Meanwhile, Thomas Muller told Suddeutsche Zeitung – via the Bundesliga website: “The coach’s thumbprint is unmistakable… the last time we were so well drilled was under Pep Guardiola.”

If the reports are true then it would be an amazing appointment for Tottenham.
