Tottenham Hotspur need to do everything possible to get a point on Sunday afternoon vs. Everton in the final fixture of the disastrous 2025/26 Premier League season. Spurs need to get a point at all costs against the Toffees, because failure to do so and putting fate in the hands of rivals West Ham United against a Leeds United side with nothing to play for would be a massive mistake that is bound to yield years of regret.
Roberto De Zerbi has been working hard to get Tottenham back to a competitive level, and, so far, the hiring of the Italian manager has paid dividends for the lackluster duo of Vinai Venkatesham and Johan Lange.
But these two Spurs executives are at risk of undoing a lot of the positives of the De Zerbi hire by bringing on board one of the very men Spurs supporters do not want to see as the new sporting director to replace Fabio Paratici, who bolted for Fiorentina in the winter when he saw how bad of a job Lange and Venkatesham were doing.
Tottenham are after Dortmund's scraps
According to a report from Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports News, Tottenham Hotspur are indeed expected to confirm former Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl as their own sporting director this summer if they are abe to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Kehl is a highly underwhelming potential hire for Spurs and yet another step back for the organization. Dortmund fired Kehl just a couple of months ago and replaced him with Ole Book for a reason, as Kehl was destroying the club with terrible signings and overall strategy. Despite being a legend at the club and a great leader and midfielder on the pitch, Kehl was weak and inarticulate off the pitch with even worse sporting ideas, eschewing Dortmund's phiosophy of signing top young talents for one focused on over the hill Bundesliga players worth less than what BVB were paying them in wages - much less, in many cases.
So Kehl seems like the opposite of the kind of person Tottenham should be hiring, especially since they are in an even worse position as an organization than Dortmund are. Tottenham have consistently made the wrong decisions with who to hire in the front office, and Kehl could be the next in a long line of them. And what makes it even worse is he could be immediately joined by two of those aging, overpaid players in Andrew Robertson and Marcos Senesi.
