On the eve of Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa, Spurs made it known that they have not spoken to Nagelsmann and do not intend to, despite their respect for the out-of-work German, who was sacked by Bayern Munich in March.
The club's position raises a big question: why would it not want to interview one of the most exciting young managers in the game, particularly given suggestions from Germany that Nagelsmann was open to the job, depending on the identity of Spurs's new director of football?
Spurs have twice considered Nagelsmann in the past after sacking Mauricio Pochettino in 2019 and then again during their chaotic search for a successor to Jose Mourinho in 2021so another question for the club is: what has significantly changed since?
There are reasonable doubts over whether the 35-year-old is the right fit personality-wise or has the profile to effect the bottom-up cultural change the club so clearly needs, while it is perhaps significant that Nagelsmann was not considered by Chelsea, after interviewing for the job. Regardless, surely Spurs would want to at least speak to him to find out more about his vision and approach?
