Leeds United will face Tottenham on Monday night, with former Leeds striker Robbie Keane once again being linked with the North London club.
Earlier this year, Keane walked out of an interview after being asked if he wanted to become Tottenham manager following the sacking of Thomas Frank. The former Republic of Ireland forward gave a short reply, saying he could not control rumours, before leaving the room.
Keane has built a strong coaching career since retiring from football in 2018. After working with Leeds United as an assistant coach, he went on to manage Maccabi Tel Aviv and later Hungarian club Ferencvaros, where he has enjoyed major success.
The 45-year-old recently led Ferencvaros to another trophy after winning the Hungarian Cup, adding to the league title he won last season. Despite growing rumours about a return to English football, Keane has said he is happy in Hungary and is not actively searching for a Premier League job.
Reports have claimed that the former Leeds and Tottenham striker would only consider leaving his current role if Tottenham offered him the manager’s job on a full-time basis. However, Spurs eventually appointed Roberto De Zerbi earlier this year.
Keane remains a well-known figure among Leeds fans after scoring 19 goals for the club following his move from Inter Milan in 2001 before joining Tottenham a year later.
