Tottenham are looking for a new head coach and lately Feyenoord’s master coach Arne Slot has been reported to be highly interested in the job.
But on Thursday, the 44-year-old announced his intention to stay at his current club.
– I have heard many rumors about other clubs’ interest in me. Although I am grateful, my desire is to stay at Feyenoord and continue to work on what we built during the season, he said, according to the Evening Standard.
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Slot has received a pay rise following a meeting between Feyenoord chief Dennis te Kloese and agent Rafaela Pimenta and the champion is now on a salary that is almost at “Premier League levels”.
However, the message should not have been received well in Tottenham, according to Dutch ESPN.
According to the information, there is great disappointment in Spurs and the club should also be totally surprised after Arne Slot’s statement that he is staying.
At the same time, ESPN states that the coach hunt continues and the two candidates who will be at the top of the wish list are Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso, who has said he will stay, and clubless Luis Enrique.
