It wasn't so much a rumour as a statement by Tuchel in the pre-match press conference where he explicitly said he was.

I swear, if we go for Tuchel that might put me over the edge. Boring ass football again and ANOTHER ex-chelsea coach.
You are a legend
Wow he was extremely complimentary about the Spurs
THIS DOESNT MEAN I WANT HIM AS THE MANAGER THOUGH
He said he liked the name but didn't even know the club was in London. I wouldn't necessarily call him a fan based on that.
I definitely would not want him at Spurs as a coach. His personality would probably not be a great match with our squad, or upper management. He is definitely a very good manager, but we've already tried out 2 ex-Chelsea professional dickheads. And there is nothing to be gained by a third. We need someone who isn't a dick, and wants to both be at Spurs, and score a ton of fucking goals.
You do realise that people are probably going to keep calling him Enrique to wind you up?
It’s easy to say this but They won nothing the season before he joined and he won the treble in his first season, then won the double in his next, not like they’ve done anything in Europe since he left either.
Also at Celta vigo he took a side who had jsut finished 17th and took them to 9th in his only season with them.
One could argue your same point that a lot of managers could get a tune out of this Brighton team with building blocks already in place from the previous regime and a very good team and way of playing already established.

Really liked the way his Spain team played, especially in the Euros. Just strangely passive when the opposition sits back. Lots of half-chances but doesn't seem to know how to deliver the killer blow.
Whats he acheived in other job?
Taken a team from 17th in la liga to 9th place finish (like Poch did with Southampton)
Absolutely embarrassed and out of his depth as Spanish national coach with all the talent at his disposal
Forgive me for not jumping on the bandwagon hes just another overpriced overhyped shitty manager who isnt needed at Tottenham that is probably why Levy will hire him lol
On the plus side though he does speak fluent English and talks a good game

I think he wants Tuchel but knows that the fans don’t. Which is why he’s going for Enrique instead. Enrique would probably come if he’s convinced by the assurances from Levy.
If not I think Marco Silva is the backup option.
I'd take protégé over pedigree with our track record.
Levy has appointed 4 ex Chelsea managers. Hoddle, AVB, Mourinho and Conte. Massive boner for ex Chels
Out of the pedigree 3 (mourinho, conte and Tuchel) atleast Tuchel plays a far more exciting brand of football
How the F**K does Marco Silva even share this vote? WHATEVER has this Watford, Everton flop ever done ? Failed to keep Hull up? Made Fulham a mid table club. This compared to Poch?
I know that I don't understand everything about football but WHAT ?
And if Teucal is the next one I'm off.
He is an annoying, useless sod.
As hard as it can be for them to correctly pronounce Doherty and Royal.
I just don’t take much stock in what a manager does for a national team. Top managers have failed and poor managers have succeeded, such fine margins in tournament football.
