Tottenham fans have taken to social media following news that the club are not looking at either former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez or Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as Jose Mourinho’s permanent replacement.

The Evening Standard report that the north London club are no longer interested in either manager, who are both currently out of work, and that RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann is the club’s first choice following the departure of Mourinho this week after close to 18 months with the Premier League side.

Tottenham confirmed today on their official website that Ryan Mason will take over the duties of head coach until the end of the season, yet Spurs fans on social media were delighted to hear the news that both Benitez and Sarri are both seemingly out of contention for the full-time manager role.

Here’s how Spurs fans reacted to the news on Twitter, with some fans happy that the duo are not longer considered options for the club…
