Tottenham have effectively ruled Julian Nagelsmann out of contention to be their next head coach after insisting they have no intention of meeting with the 35-year-old to discuss the position, sources have told ESPN.
The former Bayern Munich boss is believed to have been of interest to Spurs but sources say the club are now distancing themselves from a formal move, amid mounting speculation he had been identified as their first choice to succeed Antonio Conte.

Nagelsmann is said to have sought assurances over transfer strategy and the identity of Tottenham's next sporting director after Fabio Paratici resigned last month, having failed to overturn a FIFA fan from football operations relating to his time with Juventus.
