Will Tottenham Hotspur, who was disgraced by the temporary head coach system, rush to appoint a new manager?
Tottenham lost 1-6 in the 2022-2023 EPL round 32 away match against Newcastle United, which was played at St. James Park in Newcastle, England on the 23rd (Korean time).
Tottenham, who suffered two consecutive defeats카지노사이트, maintained 5th place in the league (53 points), but it was not easy to compete for 4th place as the difference between Newcastle in 3rd place and Manchester United in 4th place (59 points above) widened to 9 points.
EPL gets the right to participate in the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) for the next season up to 4th place.
It was a historic defeat. Tottenham collapsed by conceding five goals in the 21st minute of kick-off.
After Manchester City scored five goals in 18 minutes against Watford in 2019, they became the second team in EPL history to concede five goals in the shortest time.
The irrational number of the temporary command tower became poison.
After parting ways with manager Antonio Conte last month, Tottenham left assistant coach Christian Stellini as acting manager without appointing a new head coach.
Although former manager Conte had taken over the managerial duties when he was away due to surgery, public opinion was negative about entrusting Stellini with little managerial experience for the rest of the season.
In fact, the only time Stellini has coached a professional team was in 2017 when he led Alessandria in the Italian third division.
His lack of experience was evident against Newcastle.
On this day, acting coach Stellini changed Tottenham’s defensive tactics, and the key was to switch from the existing three-back to four-back.
Stellini explained after the game that it was “due to an injury to the defense”, but the sudden change in defensive system had the opposite effect.
The Tottenham players were bombarded by Newcastle, giving back space several times in awkward positions.
There was also a prospect that Tottenham, which was shocked by the irrational number of Acting Stellini, would rush to appoint a new command tower.
This is because the expression of owner Daniel Levy, who watched Tottenham’s crushing defeat on the field, was very dark.
At this rate, it is difficult to guarantee advances to the Europa League and Europa Conference League, which are below the Champions League, let alone compete for fourth place.
The difference between 6th place Aston Villa (51 points) and 7th place Liverpool (50 points) is only 2-3 points. Even Liverpool have played one game less. The goal difference is also ahead.
The problem is that the process of appointing the next director is also a thorny road.
Previously, former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann, former Spanish national team coach Luis Enrique, and Burnley coach Vincent Kompani were on the list, but the locals consider the possibility of their appointment low.
It is the football world’s view that the propensity of Levy’s owner, who lags behind in the competition for fourth place, and changes managers out of habit also plays a role.
