Tottenham Hotspur want to appoint Antonio Conte as Nuno Espirito Santo’s replacement, with the former Chelsea manager the leading contender for the vacancy.
On Monday morning Tottenham sacked manager Nuno after only four months in charge.
Coaches Ian Cathro, Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias were also relieved of their duties.
Tottenham said that they would announce Nuno’s replacement “in due course”.
Conte was also a target for Tottenham in the summer only for talks to break down.
Nuno was sacked after Saturday’s 3-0 home loss to Manchester United in which supporters vented their frustration.
Talks were held between chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici over Nuno’s dismissal on Sunday. The decision was then communicated to Nuno at Tottenham’s training ground on Monday morning.
