Alasdair Gold reveals there are concerns over fitness levels of Spurs squad

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that there are concerns at Tottenham Hotspur over the squad’s fitness levels.

Reports had previously indicated that the players were unhappy with Mourinho’s training methods, with some feeling that they were not being worked hard enough by the Portuguese coach and his staff.

If Gold is to be believed, even though Tottenham were one of the fittest squads in the Premier League under Mauricio Pochettino, there are concerns over the players’ current fitness levels.

He claims that some believe the numerous mistakes that players have made over the last few months have been a result of physical and mental tiredness.

Gold also goes on to claim that Spurs are now looking for a progressive, attack-minded head coach who favours possession-based football and would adopt cutting edge techniques like Pochettino did.

However, the journalist reveals that the club’s list of potential managerial targets is a fairly long one at the moment, with Spurs yet to narrow down their chase to a few names.

Going by the profile of head coach Levy is reportedly after, it seems like an admission from the Tottenham chairman that he was too hasty in his decision to sack Pochettino. Unfortunately for Spurs and Levy, there do not seem to be any outstanding candidates for the job at the moment now that Nagelsmann is on his way to Bayern.
