Tottenham suffer blow in manager hunt as they ‘immediately fail in bid to land Niko Kovac from Wolfsburg’

Kovac reportedly never breaks contracts so wouldn’t take the Spurs jobRex

Plenty of big names have been linked to the job with the latest being Julian Nagelsmann following his sacking by Bayern Munich.

However, according to reports in Germany, Wolfsburg manager Kovac has turned down the chance to take over at the north London outfit.

German publication Waz have reported that the 51-year-old was one of the candidates to replace Conte.

The report states that chairman Daniel Levy had “commissioned his advisors to explore” whether the former Bayern Munich manager would be interested in taking over.

Levy supposedly didn’t have to wait long for an answer with the report adding that it was made clear negotiations never even started and that Kovac said it was “impossible for him” to take a job at the English club.

According to Waz the reason for this was that Kovac “has principles that he strictly adheres to”, with the biggest one being that he doesn’t break contracts.

It appears that Spurs will have to look elsewhere for their new manager with the Croatian contracted to the Bundesliga outfit until 2025.

The north London side suffered a big blow with the news that Fabio Paratici, the clubs managing director of football had been hit with a worldwide football ban by Fifa.

This ban means the Italian may have to step down from his role with the club.

Conte’s assistant manager Cristian Stellini was named caretaker boss following the Italian’s departure, with former midfielder Ryan Mason set to assist him.
