Former Bayern Munich coach, Julian Nagelsmann, will not be the next manager of Premier League club, Tottenham, reports have revealed.
Tottenham, who are sixth in the Premier League, have been without a permanent manager since Antonio Conte was sacked in March 2023.
35-year-old Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern in March, has been linked with the vacancy.
However, there have been no talks and Spurs are not considering him for the role.
Spurs continue to search for a permanent replacement for Conte after interim manager Cristian Stellini was sacked in April and replaced by Ryan Mason.
According to BBC, Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi has been approached by Tottenham and some reports linked Burnley manager and former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany with the vacant role.

Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern on March 24 after a run of five wins from 10 league games, has also been linked with Chelsea, who remain without a permanent manager since Graham Potter was sacked in April.
Nagelsmann is recognised as one of the game’s most promising managerial talents, having taking charge of Hoffenheim aged 28 before moving to RB Lepizig, leading the club to the Champions League semi-finals.
He then joined Bayern in 2021 and won the league title in his first season alongside two German Supercups.
Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel replaced Nagelsmann as Bayern manager.
Speaking on Radio 5 Live’s Friday Football Social, former Tottenham and England goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, said: “Tottenham need to act and they need to act quickly. Why wouldn’t they be interested in Nagelsmann? He is one of the most innovative, modern-thinking, modern-day coaches.
“If Spurs aren’t in the hunt for a manager like that it is worrying. I potentially think they have sounded his people out and they have gone ‘no, don’t waste your time’.”
Former West Ham and Aston Villa captain, Nigel Reo Coker, added: “I think Nagelsmann has looked at this Tottenham situation and said it is not for me. I am too good, too focused, I want to be part of that greatness and Spurs doesn’t shout greatness right now.
“You have to think of a manager of his stature, do we even know what is happening with Harry Kane right now? For all the top teams we know how important it is to have a top-class striker. If he loses Harry Kane, who fills in those boots at Spurs?”
