Tottenham to confirm Antonio Conte appointment in coming hours
By Gary Pearson
Antonio Conte, based on numerous reliable sources, is going to be the next manager of Tottenham Hotspur, with the official announcement expected in mere hours.
Reminiscent of the Mauricio Pochettio axing and Jose Mourinho hiring, Tottenham will appoint Antonio Conte as manager within 24 hours of Nuno’s exit. Fabio Paratici was obviously pulling the strings in the background in recent weeks, waiting for the right moment to make the ruthless, yet necessary, transition.
The Italian gaffer has a lot of work to do, but was confident enough in the offering to accept the position. That means he will have carte blanche authority regarding on-field decisions, and should have a substantial war chest of funds to immediately improve his forlorn squad.
Conte has enjoyed success wherever he has managed and will be excited about the prospect of reuniting with Fabio Paratici. Conte has come to Tottenham at one of the most dire times in club history, with an abundance of issues that need immediate attention.
It’s a monumental moment for Tottenham, who can look forward to a no-nonsense approach from their new charismatic manager. Conte allows no passengers and will quickly do away with any and all dead weight. If you’re not fully committed to the cause, you will find yourself out in the cold faster than it took Spurs to replace Nuno.
It’s the news Tottenham fans were hoping for. While few thought it would come to fruition so quickly, hiring Conte offers a new lease on life for a club in desperate need of an immediate injection of positivity and inspiration.
Which is precisely what Conte offers.
