RB Leipzig boss interested in Jose Mourinho’s job, says “we can meet face-to-face in the Premier League”

Julian Nagelsmann is interested in the Tottenham job if Jose Mourinho is sacked, according to reports.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has come under increased pressure in recent weeks after a run of five defeats in six game in the Premeir League.

Nagelsmann has a contract with Leipzig until 2023.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy reportedly sees the German as the ideal candidate to take over from Mourinho.

The highly-rated German coach, 33, has been linked with a move to North London in the past.

However, there is no suggestion Mourinho’s future is being considered.

But Nagelsmann has revealed in an interview with Bild that a move to the Premier League would be an attractive proposition.

He said: “The Premier League is a very interesting league and I can imagine it could be a big aim to be a big manager in the Premier League one day like Jurgen, who is very successful.

“It could be a step in the future. You know, in football it’s not that easy to plan ‘how long will you be a manager in Leipzig? When will you go to the Premier League?’.

“I could imagine going to the Premier League.

“I could imagine staying as a manager in the Bundesliga for my whole career. It’s cool to be a manager in my own country, I love it.

“Then perhaps in the future we can meet face-to-face in the Premier League, who knows.”
