Jermain Defoe discloses the person Tottenham coaches preferred Daniel Levy to hire prior to Postecoglou.
Before Ange Postecoglou was chosen in 2023, Jermain Defoe disclosed the names of some
Tottenham coaches they wanted the team to hire.
As he prepares to start his tenure as Three Lions manager with victories in World Cup qualifying matches
against Albania and Latvia, Thomas Tuchel has revealed his initial England squad. James Maddison
and Djed Spence missed out on a spot in the squad but Dominic Solanke continues to act as
Harry Kane’s understudy in the national team set-up.
In a another reality, though, Tuchel might have been in charge of those players at Tottenham,
since the German coach was reportedly in the running for the position.
Before Ange Postecoglou was appointed, Fabio Paratici lobbied Tottenham to sign Tuchel in
2023 to replace Antonio Conte. Thomas Tuchel was desired by Jermain Defoe at Tottenham.
Defoe has now asserted that when the Lilywhites were searching for a replacement for Conte,
the former Chelsea manager was among the names that Tottenham coaches were considering.
The Spurs legend, who at the time was coaching the academy at Hotspur Way,
clarified that the club’s coaches were thrilled about the prospect of collaborating with the German.
