Xabi Alonso is linked with other clubs as well
According to the sources, Tottenham is impressed with Alonso’s credentials, including his illustrious career as a player with Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.

Julian Nagelsmann is also one of the top contenders
Spurs have also been linked with Julian Nagelsmann, but SunSport reports that chairman Daniel Levy is concerned about the German’s age.
One of the factors that may hinder Julian Nagelsmann’s appointment as Tottenham’s manager is his age, as he is only 35 years old, which is younger than their current captain Hugo Lloris, who is 36.
Furthermore, Tottenham’s director of football, Fabio Paratici, recently resigned from his position after his worldwide football ban was upheld. This has created some uncertainty around the recruitment and strategic oversight of the club, which may be an issue for potential candidates like Nagelsmann.
Other names that have been mentioned as possible candidates for the role include Vincent Kompany, Brendan Rodgers, Ange Postecoglou, Luis Enrique, and Roberto De Zerbi.
