Report: Daniel Levy misses out on another Tottenham manager target after Nagelsman and Xabi Alonso

Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move to appoint Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti as their new manager, but it doesn’t look like that will happen now.

Spurs parted ways with Antonio Conte over a month-and-a-half ago. They gave Cristian Stellini a chance and that didn’t work out, and Ryan Mason has been holding the fort since.

Xabi Alonso was also named as a key target for Tottenham, but the Spaniard, who is at the helm at Bayer Leverkusen, confirmed this week that the German club,

Missing out on Nagelsmann and Alonso is bad enough, but to see Spalletti escape their grasp as well is worrying now. This is not a great look at all for Daniel Levy.
