O'Hara: Only 2 options Spurs must consider for next manager

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara says there is only two choices the club can consider for new manager.

Spurs have put in place Cristian Stellini as caretaker manager after Sunday's departure of Antonio Conte.

O'Hara insists free agents Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino are the two options Spurs should consider.

"I'd love Spurs to get Julian Nagelsmann, he'd be an unbelievable appointment," O'Hara told Grosvenor Sport.

“He's a top, top manager. Bayern Munich were mad to sack him. He was only one point behind Borussia Dortmund, he had a 70% win ratio, he won every Champions League game and was in the quarter-finals. I think it was a crazy decision to get rid of him. He's the best young manager in the world and I'd love him to go to Spurs.

“Tottenham have to go and get one of Nagelsmann or Mauricio Pochettino. That's it, no-one else. Nagelsmann, for me, because he's become available, he has to be the number one target. A manger like him doesn't come along very often, so Spurs should do all they can to try and get him."

O'Hara added: “If not [Nagelsmann], they've got to bring in Pochettino, because he knows the club, he knows what it's about, he's still got the love with the fans, the fans still love him and I think him coming back would bring that feel-good factor."
