THE BIGGER PICTURE: The former Spurs striker was in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as the club faced Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday. They were defeated 3-2 thanks to a 95th winner from Cherries forward Dango Ouattara. Klinsmann, who took charge of the South Korea national team as their manager in February, came to see Heung-min Son in action, and the former star received a warm welcome at the stadium at halftime.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Other than Klinsmann, managers like Brendan Rodgers, Vincent Kompany, Mauricio Pochettino, Graham Potter and Julian Nagelsmann are also in the Premier League club's shortlist for the manager's role. Cristian Stellini is currently in charge of the north London side as acting interim manager.
