tottenham talks
The newspaper reports that Sebastian Kehl and Tottenham have intensified talks in recent weeks to make him their new director of football. He was free to do so following his official departure from Borussia Dortmund in early May.
Kahl also traveled to London for talks with Tottenham's leadership. But those talks could not reach any agreement.
According to BILD, the reason for the breakup was that the two parties could not agree on the strategic direction of the club. It seems Kahl had a different idea for how Tottenham should proceed after narrowly avoiding relegation this season.
The newspaper reports that Spurs had planned for him to work with current Spurs director of football Johan Lang. His aim may have been to get the club 'back on track'. Instead, no agreement could be reached.
Where next for Tottenham?
Kehl is now in talks with other top international clubs. The newspaper does not mention any names on that front.
There is also no indication whether Tottenham have now turned their attention elsewhere. It's clear he believes he needs to appoint someone, but that person has to fit into his plans for the club. It appears that Kiehl did not fall into that category.
Looking at that report in Germany He explained that while he was considering whether he wanted to make the move anyway, it might be for the best.
If Tottenham are to avoid the problems they have suffered in recent years, they perhaps need someone in charge who is fully committed to the cause. It appears that conversations with Kiehl have made it clear that he is not that person.
