CONTE MIGHT BE BACK IN THE EPL WITH SPURS, BUT WILL HE DELIVER?

A troubled Tottenham Hotspurs on Monday fired 49-year-old manager Nuno Espirito Santo and on Tuesday is set to announce 52-year-old Antonio Conte as their new manager.

Tottenham has wasted little time in moving for the ex-Chelsea boss after making the decision to sack the Portuguese tactician after just 17 matches in North London.

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss will probably succeed Nuno who was sacked by Spurs on Monday after just four fractious months in the job.

With a change on the horizon, attention will swiftly turn to get fans back onside following the 3-0 horror show against Manchester United.

Chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici are moving quickly to secure a replacement following Nuno Espirito Santo’s sacking on Monday after four months in charge and Conte is their choice following successful talks on Monday.

A serial winner with Premier League success on his CV, a single-minded disciplinarian, and an astute tactician. It is easy to see why Tottenham Hotspur is chasing Antonio Conte to be their new manager.

Antonio Conte led Chelsea to the Premier League title in his first season at the club in 2016-17 and if he will be announced as manager on Tuesday, his first task will be home this Thursday against the dutch side Vitesse in the Europa Conference League, group G match.
