FORMER Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick strongly hinted he wants to join Julian Nagelsmann at Tottenham.
Nagelsmann appears to be the frontrunner to become the next Spurs manager amid a woeful campaign that has seen the team drop to seventh place in the Premier League table.
And fans are now convinced Rangnick wants to follow his fellow German to north London as he went on record strongly advising chairman Daniel Levy to hire a sporting director.
The Austria manager held that position at Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig as well as Lokomotiv Moscow, and was even supposed to work in that capacity at United after his stint ended last summer.
Rangnick told Sky Sports: “If Tottenham really want Julian Nagelsmann, it’d be important to have a sporting director there to support him.
“This is not a club where they expect you to be in the top immediately. So it could be a very, very exciting story”.

Fans are certain Rangnick issued a “come-and-get-me” plea to Levy with that interview.
And a raft of Tottenham supporters are keen to see that partnership next season.
One fan tweeted: “Rangnick and Nagelsmann would be quite the formidable duo at #Tottenham.”
Another commented: “I’ma be honest. If Tottenham get Rangnick alongside Nagelsmann, I definitely see them winning silverware.”
