Tottenham Hotspur’s talismanic striker, Harry Kane, has been caught in the middle of transfer rumors this summer, with Manchester United and Chelsea reportedly interested in the player.
However, the latest suggestion by football pundit, Sam Matterface, might come as a surprise to Kane’s fans and the football community at large.
Matterface believes Kane should stay at Spurs and become their manager, citing the example of Ryan Mason, who is currently serving as the club’s interim manager at the age of 31.
“Harry Kane should become the manager, he might as well. If Ryan Mason is doing it at the age of 31, why can’t Harry Kane? If he is going to stay there, he might as well double up, it sounded like he was calling the shots last week anyway,” Matterface said on talkSPORT.
The suggestion comes amid uncertainty over Kane’s future, with his contract expiring in 2024 and reports claiming that he is willing to run down his deal to leave on a free transfer.
However, the club’s all-time highest scorer has not made a decision yet, despite calls from his fans and pundits to leave in search of silverware.
Kane watched on as Spurs fell to another defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, which only added to the frustration of the club’s supporters. Nevertheless, Matterface believes that Kane can make a significant impact as a player-manager for his beloved team.
Whether Kane chooses to pursue a career in football management remains to be seen, but Matterface’s proposal has sparked a debate among football fans.
Some believe that Kane’s future lies in the hands of the clubs vying for his signature, while others see the potential for him to lead Tottenham to success both on and off the pitch.
As for the current situation at Tottenham, Ryan Mason is holding the fort as the club’s interim manager after the dismissal of caretaker manager Cristian Stellini, who was asked to step in after the sacking of Antonio Conte.
The club’s search for a permanent manager is ongoing, but for now, Kane and his teammates will be focused on ending the season on a high note.
