Tottenham may well be searching for a new manager once again this summer.
Indeed, Ange Postecoglou is likely to be sacked, and Spurs could be in the hunt for a new gaffer.
Andoni Iraola is Tottenham’s top target, while Marco Silva is also appreciated by Spurs.
The last time Tottenham were looking for a new manager, they went all around the houses as the likes of Arne Slot, Vincent Kompany and even Mauricio Pochettino were linked.
Jurgen Klinsmann was linked to Tottenham back in 2023, while in 2021, the German even admitted that he wanted the Spurs job.
Now, speaking to Goal, Jurgen Klinsmann has made an interesting claim about potentially managing Arsenal.
Jurgen Klinsmann makes Arsenal manager claim
Klinsmann was taking part in a TikTok challenge where he had to choose between two options.
The German was asked whether he’d rather coach Brazil to a World Cup win, extending their gap ahead of his beloved Germany, or if he’d rather manage Arsenal to a Champions League win.
As a Spurs legend, Klinsmann made it very clear that he wouldn’t want to manage Arsenal, saying:
“I would always go against Arsenal.”
Klinsmann laughed as he stated he’d want any job other than the Arsenal role.
Klinsmann has had some huge jobs in his career from managing Germany to managing Bayern Munich, but he’d never been keen on going to the Emirates.
Jurgen Klinsmann’s record vs Arsenal
Klinsmann says he’d never want to take the Arsenal job, and that’s due to his links to Tottenham.
Indeed, the German is a Spurs legend, and interestingly, during his time at Tottenham, he never lost a single game against Arsenal.
The power dynamic in north London was very one-sided at that time, but, somehow, Klinsmann managed to go through his entire Tottenham career without losing to the Gunners.

As for his managerial career, Klinsmann’s last job was as the manager of South Korea, where, interestingly, he coached Spurs captain, Heung-Min Son.
Klinsmann’s name may well be mentioned this summer if Tottenham are looking for a new manager, but, one thing is for sure, he won’t be headed to the Arsenal dugout anytime soon.
