Luis Enrique has had contact with Tottenham Hotspur as the Spaniard weighs up his future amid talks with Chelsea.
Chelsea and Tottenham are both seeking new coaches after managerial changes in the last few weeks.
Antonio Conte left Tottenham in a real storm whilst Chelsea pulled the plug on the Graham Potter experience.
Tottenham were probably cursing Chelsea sacking Potter, as they will now be fighting for the same managers.
One of them is Luis Enrique, who has been in London for more talks with Chelsea according to The Independent.
Chelsea aren’t alone in the race for Enrique though as Tottenham are also keen on the Spaniard.
90Min claim that Enrique has been in contact with Tottenham about becoming their new manager.
Chelsea seem to be further down the line with Enrique but Spurs have at least opened dialogue with the former Barcelona boss.
Luis Enrique to Tottenham still feels unlikely
We can understand the appeal of Enrique as Tottenham chase a new boss.

Enrique won a Champions League with Barcelona in 2015 and has always played superb football.
Enrique guided Spain to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 and his brand of football would surely excite Tottenham fans.
However, Tottenham don’t really have the kind of players suitable for Enrique’s approach, especially when playing out from the back.
Spurs would need to invest heavily in players to play Enrique’s way and it’s unclear whether they will have the funds for that if they don’t finish in the top four.
Additionally, Enrique appears to be a Fabio Paratici target with the Italian a fan for many years.
Paratici has stepped back from his job at the moment after being hit with a worldwide ban last week.
It’s unclear if Paratici even has a future at Tottenham, never mind whether he will have a big say on their managerial search.
We think Enrique to Chelsea is much more likely at the moment, even if Tottenham have spoken to him.
