In football, it’s not uncommon for praising one player to automatically cast suspicion on another and even call into question their work.
It seems that Bild am Sonntag’s statements about Eden Terzic are the result of this. The newspaper claims that Tottenham Hotspur is one of the three Premier League teams that are “thinking about” employing the Borussia Dortmund boss.
Naturally, Tottenham already has a manager, and even though the season didn’t finish as well as it could have, Ange Postecoglou doesn’t appear to be surplus to requirements.
At forty-one, Terzic is still relatively young in management. Dortmund is currently fifth in the Bundesliga, and Bild themselves note that he was on the verge of being fired just before Christmas.
Of all, a Champions League run to the championship game can cover up many rifts, but it cannot alter the facts.
If Dortmund wins the championship and Terzic is successful, he will be highly praised; however, it appears that this whole thing is being done to build up to that moment and entice Premier League teams to lend a hand.
West Ham and Newcastle United are the other two teams connected to Tottenham.
