Julen Lopetegui: Tottenham have offer to Sevilla boss turned down, says Spanish club's president

Tottenham made a "dizzying" offer to Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui but the former Spain boss will not be going anywhere, according to the La Liga club's president Jose Castro.

Lopetegui, 54, guided Sevilla to Champions League qualification with a fourth-place finish last season.

Castro said Lopetegui had "received offers he'd not listened to".

Talking to Spanish radio station Cadena SER, Sevilla's president continued: "Julen rang me and told me.

"Some coaches are more driven by economic factors but Julen is very clear that he is happy here and he even said it would be very difficult to find a better place to work than here.
