According to Tuttosport, Antonio Conte could replace José Mourinho at Tottenham amid uncertainly over his future in north London.
The pressure has intensified on Mourinho following Tottenham’s embarrassing Europa League exit to Dinamo Zagreb.
The Athletic claim that Ralph Hasenhuttl and Julian Nagelsmann are two managers who Daniel Levy has been impressed by.
Now, however, Tuttosport are suggesting that Inter Milan boss Conte could return to the Premier League to take over at Spurs.
Now, that would be a very dramatic twist in the tale given his previous clashes with Mourinho.
The Italian has been bickering with the Portuguese coach for so long, that ESPN were even able to make a timeline of their battle.
Mourinho has previously aimed digs at Conte for having a hair transplant, before the former Juventus boss called the former Real Madrid manager a ‘little man’ and a ‘fake’.
That aside, Conte actually did very well in England.
He won 51 Premier League games out of 76, and helped Chelsea win the Premier League title in 2017.
Additionally, the 51-year-old currently has his Inter Milan side sat at the top of Serie A, six points above AC Milan in second.
In that respect, there’s definitely plenty of encouragement to be taken if Levy does appoint Conte as Mourinho’s replacement.
