Report: Spurs end their interest in Antonio Conte

Tottenham Hotspur have ended their interest in appointing Antonio Conte as their new head coach, according to the The Telegraph’s Matt Law.

Other journalists are also reporting a similar theme this evening with The Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick claiming that the appointment of the Italian is not happening as things stand.

Sky Sports reported earlier that the 51-year-old is unconvinced that Tottenham are ready to win trophies immediately, despite the fact that there would be no immediate pressure from the board for him to end their thirteen-year weight.

Spurs had also been linked with a sensational return for Mauricio Pochettino, however Alasdair Gold claimed last night that there was no prospect of the Argentine heading back to North London with Paris Saint-Germain unprepared to lose their manager.

First Pochettino and now Conte, the managerial search has been a complete PR disaster for Spurs and is further risking alienating the fans from the club even further following a year of lows, with the Super League debacle, furlough decision and ticket costs.
