Jurgen Klinsmann has refused to rule out a return to Tottenham as the club’s next manager.

Spurs parted ways with Jose Mourinho on Monday and have appointed Ryan Mason as their interim boss until the end of the season.

Daniel Levy is now on the lookout for a permanent successor to Mourinho, who was denied the chance to lead Tottenham out at Wembley in Sunday’s League Cup final.

Julian Nagelsmann is said to be at the top of Levy’s shortlist, but the north London side will find it difficult to land a coach who is also wanted by Bayern Munich.

Klinsmann’s name has also been suggested, in part because of his links with the club.

Klinsmann has also taken charge of Bayern Munich, the United States and Hertha Berlin, and he has refused to rule out a return to Tottenham as the club’s next permanent head coach.

"I tell you, anything is possible in life,” he told ESPN. “I never thought I would coach Germany at a World Cup. I never thought I would coach the USA for six years or Bayern Munich. 

“So we’ll see in a couple of months who will be the Spurs manager!"
