It reads: “Football is passion. I would like to deeply thank everyone at Spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and my intense way of living football as a coach.
What next for Tottenham?
Tottenham remain in contention to qualify for the Champions League again this term, sitting fourth. They are two points ahead of Newcastle, who have played two games fewer.
90min understands Julian Nagelsmann is a target for Spurs in their head coach hunt, while Luis Enrique, Roberto De Zerbi, Marco Silva, Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino are all on their radar.
Nagelsmann was previously eyed up by Tottenham in 2021 as they looked for a replacement for Jose Mourinho but the German coach opted to move to Bayern Munich.
