Tottenham have ended their interest in making Antonio Conte their next manager according to reports. The Italian had been linked with the vacant role having recently left Inter Milan but it appears Spurs will instead look elsewhere now instead.
Conte, a Premier League winner with Chelsea and four-time Serie A winner with Juventus and Inter, had emerged as an attractive option for the north Londoners.
But after talks, it appears Spurs were not convinced that the 51-year-old is the ideal coach for them.
The Daily Telegraph report that the Londoners have called off the possible appointment of Conte despite rumours that an offer had been tabled to him.
The Evening Standard say Spurs were concerned at some of Conte’s demands during talks with him and his representatives.
Among them were an apparent reluctance to work with younger players, and they say as a result nothing was put on the table to the ex-Chelsea manager.
Conte only recently took Inter to their first Italian title in 11 years but left as a result of clashes with the club’s hierarchy due to their financial constraints.
Fabrizio Romano claims Conte was not convinced about Spurs’ project or their staff members, and that there were differences between the two parties on his prospective salary as well.
It remains to be seen who Spurs turn to next, but Julian Nagelsmann and Brendan Rodgers are among those they have missed out on.
Ajax’s Erik ten Hag and Brighton’s Graham Potter have been linked, as has former Spurs tactician Mauricio Pochettino, though he is locked into a Paris Saint-Germain contract and it would be expensive to rob him from the Parisian outfit.
