Tottenham Hotspur are looking set to challenge Chelsea’s plans of hiring Luis Enrique with the London clubs on the search for a new permanent head coach.
Enrique is believed to have held face-to-face talks with the Chelsea camp after the former Spain and Barcelona manager presented his ideas to the club’s owners who are committed to an extensive search for their longer-term appointment.
According to a report from The Telegraph, it is claimed that Spurs are planning to make contact with Enrique which could set the stage for a potential battle with city rivals Chelsea.
The North London giants, who parted company with Antonio Conte earlier in the month, are aiming to speak to the Spaniard this week with Spurs facing a challenge to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Enrique is known to be keen on the Chelsea post with the Spaniard claiming to have been willing to start work immediately at the Bridge before Chelsea brought in Frank Lampard as their caretaker boss until the end of the season.
