Tottenham Hotspur new manager - Antonio Conte getting the sack? Rival and former manager in contention

Although Antonio Conte has an impressive career record in Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan, Tottenham has never seemed to be the ideal match for him. There is still a Champions League place up for grabs.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte stunned everyone by attacking the club after their 3-3 tie with Southampton. Spurs succumbed to Southmapton's pressure and surrendered a 3-1 lead to draw the game at the weekend. The Italian lambasted the club and players after the match following yet another misfortune after their Champions League exit.

Although Antonio Conte has an impressive career record in Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan, Tottenham has never seemed to be the ideal match for him. There is still a Champions League place up for grabs in Premier League but it's difficult to see how he can survive following his stunning outburst at the club's board and players. There appears to be a certainty about Antonio Conte no longer being the Tottenham Hotspur manager.

Tottenham


A number of managerial appointments are already doing the round for the potential job and these are the three faces that have been linked with the post-

Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy could get into the longing around the former manager's possible return since there is a feeling of unfinished business with Tottenham and Pochettino.

The Argentine was relieved of duties the next season midway after taking the squad to their first Champions League final. Pochettino is arguably Tottenham's best manager in the last decade and now in the turmoil, he could be a fan favorite appointment to supervise another rebuild. The Argentine is currently available after quitting Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain in the summer following a difficult time in that position, which saw him only winning the league once in two years.

Thomas Tuchel

The German coach is also available in the market after getting sacked midway through the ongoing season at Chelsea. Tuchel is well accustomed to the Premier League and will be an excellent choice. However, similar to Conte, Tuchel also has a belligerent personality. There is no assurance that he would get along well with the Tottenham management. But for a successful future, the club need some character like him. Just they will need to back him properly as well.

Luis Enrique

The Spanish coach is another option who is a free agent at present. The former Barcelona manager is without a job since leaving the Spanish national team after last year's World Cup.

Enrique has been a serial winner throughout and getting him on board will be a huge appointment for a side that needs to incorporate a winning mentality. However, he is known for a specific style of play with a specific set of players. If Tottenham land him it will be interesting to see how they support him.
