- Nuno dismissed after only 17 matches in charge
- Spurs confident a deal with Conte can be done this time
Tottenham are in advanced talks with Antonio Conte over their manager’s job after sacking Nuno Espírito Santo, with the Italian understood to be close to accepting their offer. Nuno has departed after only four months and 17 matches in charge.
Negotiations between Conte and Tottenham broke down in the summer but he remains out of work and the club’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, is confident a deal will be done. Conte is expected in London on Monday to continue discussions in the hope of sealing an agreement.
