The story in the Conference League is not promising either. As they are sitting third in their group with four points in three games.
According to the journalist, there haven’t been any official talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte taken place yet. The Italian manager’s priority is to join Manchester United over the North London club.
However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo. The Spurs’ sporting director is eyeing for Antonio Conte to take charge of the north London club. Romano further claimed that the Lillywhites are close to finalising a deal for the former Inter Milan manager.
Conte wants to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United over Nuno at Tottenham:
Following an agonizing defeat against Liverpool, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job was in jeopardy. But after a big win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Norwegian might be in charge for the next few games at least.
