Athletic Club coach Marcelino rules himself out of Tottenham job

MADRID: Athletic Club Bilbao coach Marcelino Garcia Toral ruled himself out of being a candidate to replace Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.

Although former player Ryan Mason has been appointed as a short-term replacement for Mourinho, Marcelino was named as a potential long-term substitute for the Portuguese coach, who was surprisingly sacked on Monday. British press on Wednesday morning said Tottenham had been in contact with his representatives.

Marcelino only joined Athletic Club at the start of 2021 and has been with them less than four months. Although he led them to victory in this season's Supercup, they were beaten in two Copa del Rey finals within two weeks, losing 4-0 to FC Barcelona on Saturday. Agencies
