Simon Jordan says 41-year-old manager is not right for Tottenham

Thu 1 June 2023 20:45, UK

Totten🤪ham Hotspur have been linked with a host of manager🉐s over the past few months, including Michael Carrick.

recently claimed tha🔜t Spurs admire the Middlesbrough bos♔s, who previously played for Tottenham.

However, Simon Jordan🐬 has told talkSPORT that Carrick wouldn’t be a good fit for Spurs at this moment in time.

He reckons the 41-year-old has a lot more to learnꩵ and Tottenham would be a “very difficult” job for now.

“Not really,” Jordan told (1/6/23, 11am) when asked whether Carrick would be read🦩y for the Spurs job🌜.

“He was part of a coaching set up at Man United. He stepped in after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got re🦋moved.

“But I don’t think he showed any credentials that c🌊ould be of any use t𒆙o Spurs at this stage.

“He’s༺ done br🎉illiantly well at Middlesbrough. But he’s got a lot more to learn.

“Taking the Tottenham job at this stage wo🐻uld be very difficult for ജhim.”

Simon Jordan is spot on

Carrick hasn’t been a manager for l🌊ong, but he has certainly hit the ground running in the dug🐎out.

Boro w🌜ere sitting 21st in the Championship when he♚ took over from Chris Wilder last October.

Carrick has since turned the Teesside outfit into promotion challeng🅺ers, earning themselves a place in the playoffs.

However, Jordan is right. At th🗹is moment in time, the Tottenham job would be difficult for him.

Spurs have endured an underwhelming and at times agonising campaign which seems to be spilling over into the close season𒅌🔯.

Tottenham are not only 👍looking for a new permanent manager, b♌ut also a new director of football.

And that’s before we evꦡen get to any prospective new signings or outgoings to make more space forꦏ new recruits.

S🐼purs need a manager with experience who can handle high pressure and help drag the club📖 out of its rut.

Ange Postecoglou is being heavily linked with Tottenha🐻m right now and he seems like a gr💫eat shout for the job.

Meanwhile, Carrick should continue learning the ropes, bu༺il𓂃ding his experience and confidence, and then we’ll see.
