Tottenham are closing in on appointing a new sporting director, and according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, a leading candidate has now emerged.
There could be some major changes behind the scenes at Spurs in the coming months after such a dismal period in the club's history.
Spurs are on their third manager of the season, but changes are necessary elsewhere if they want to head back in the right direction.
Tottenham are battling to try to avoid relegation from the Premier League, and it's proving to be a difficult task, failing to win in the league during 2026.
The north London club need change from top to bottom, so it's no surprise to see them making some alterations in the background heading towards the summer.
According to Sky Sports reporter Plettenberg, former Borussia Dortmund director Sebastian Kehl is now the leading candidate to join Tottenham.
Kehl is set to work with Johan Lange to help rebuild the Tottenham team, with the former Dortmund man a highly valued director in the industry.
It's unclear what the official title of Kehl's role will be if he does get the job, while Plettenberg does confirm that a decision is now imminent, as he wants to take some time off before getting into another job.
There's Not One Person to Blame at Tottenham
Many have blamed multiple managers for Tottenham's struggles over the last few years, but some top-level coaches have all tried and failed.
The recruitment and the way the club is being run simply isn't good enough, and it's no surprise to see Tottenham fans protesting over the last few months.
A club of Spurs' size shouldn't be battling for relegation, and it would be a complete disaster for them to be playing in the Championship next season.
Managers and players will come and go, but a club is unlikely to be successful unless they have everyone pulling in the right direction behind the scenes.
