Niko Kovac is in demand
The 54-year-old German manager is being considered as a long-term option by the north London club. Tottenham have already contacted him about a possible move. However, Manchester United are also interested in the German manager. It will be interesting to see if the Spurs can get a deal done.
They need someone who can help them compete at the highest level and Kovac could be an interesting acquisition. He has proven his quality in Germany and the opportunity to manage the Premier League could be exciting for him.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have no plans to let him leave and would like to keep him at the club for now. His contract with the German club expires in 2027, but it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to offer him an extension.
Kovac may consider a move
The 54-year-old manager has proven himself in Germany and now could be the perfect time for a new challenge. A move to the Premier League would be attractive for him. It would be a step up in his career and would allow him to run an ambitious club with more resources.
Tottenham have a quality squad and with some intelligent additions in the summer they could challenge for trophies. It remains to be seen whether they can cross the line and sign Kovac.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are also looking for a long-term replacement for Michael Carrick. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to a German player. Kovac has a career winning percentage of 51%, but it remains to be seen whether he can make his mark on English football.
