Does Tottenham Hotspur use FC Bayern? According to a media report, Marco Neppe is on the Premier League club’s list.
Neppe has been working for FC Bayern since 2014. The now 36-year-old started out as a scout, later managed the entire scouting department and is now employed as technical director at the record German soccer champions.
In this role, Neppe is responsible for squad planning together with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. Born in Offenbach, he has already made a name for himself in the scene and is said to have sparked interest in the Premier League.
According to “kicker”, Tottenham Hotspur has neppe on the list. The specialist magazine does not give any specific details in this context. The work of the official should be questioned at FC Bayern at the end of the season, it is said.
Has Marco Neppe extended at Bayern?
However, “Sport Bild” recently reported that FC Bayern had secretly extended the contract with Neppe last year. The Munich bosses are said to be continuing to build on the 36-year-old, who should enjoy complete trust on Säbener Straße.
Two characteristics particularly impress those responsible: Neppe is said to have an exceptional eye for players, which is also proven by his rapid rise from scout to director. In addition, Neppe apparently has a very good connection to the team. That’s why he shouldn’t lose his place on the bench, very close to the stars.
FC Bayern knows nothing about Spurs’ interest in Neppe
It is therefore doubtful whether Tottenham Hotspur could free the technical director from Munich. And: As “Bild” found out, FC Bayern doesn’t know anything about the interest of the English anyway. A farewell is not an issue for Neppe, the Spurs have not yet approached Bayern officials anyway.
Still piquant: The North Londoners were also said to be interested in Julian Nagelsmann, who was only released from FC Bayern at the end of March. The Spurs are currently only seventh in the Premier League and are looking for coaches and sporting directors.
