Antonio Conte faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Daniel Levy could look to replace the Italian with Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Julian Nagelsmann looks set to be sacked as Bayern Munich head coach and that could pave the way for a dramatic move to Tottenham. The German manager is expected at Bayern’s training ground this week where it is expected his contract will be terminated with immediate effect.
With former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel set to take over from Nagelsmann, one person who will be keeping tabs on the situation is Daniel Levy. The Spurs chairman faces a tough decision over the future of Antonio Conte following the Italian’s outburst last weekend.
Conte, 53, lashed out at Spurs’ players during Saturday’s press conference following the 3-3 draw at Southampton. He called his Tottenham players “selfish” and spoke of a 20-year culture at the club that has allowed them to feel comfortable with the stress of winning silverware.
According to football.london, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan coach has yet to return to Hotspur Way because he is spending time with his family at his Turin home. Levy will most likely want to make a decision on Conte’s future as soon as possible, with Spurs’ next game on April 3 against Everton.
Given his situation at Bayern, Nagelsmann has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Conte. The German has previously stated his admiration for the Premier League and expressed a desire to one day manage in England.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time he’s been linked with the Tottenham job. After Jose Mourinho was fired in 2021, the then-RB Leipzig coach was said to be among the names Levy was considering.
Of course, Levy appointed Nuno Espirito Santo before dismissing the Portuguese and hiring Conte. Levy now has the chance to correct his mistake from two years ago by firing Conte and replacing him with Nagelsmann. It remains to be seen whether or not this occurs.
