Antonio Conte’s contract at Tottenham Hotspur expires in June and his future is likely to be away from the club.
The possibility of needing to appoint a new manager has seen Spurs look at a few candidates, including Eintracht Frankfurt’s Oliver Glasner.
Bild state Tottenham are ‘now interested’ in the Austrian, who has a deal lasting until 2024. It’s said there was ‘already contact’ between the Premier League side and Glasner’s camp.
Ex-Eintracht Frankfurt boss Friedhelm Funkel believes the 48-year-old “will think about it”, if there’s an approach “from abroad”.
Glasner was furious after his side’s defeat to Union Berlin at the weekend. Bild explain it also shows his ‘extreme ambition’, likely to succeed elsewhere after wining the Europa League last season.
Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche is keen to keep Glasner amid interest from Tottenham. This report surfaced before new developments took place around Conte’s future at Spurs.
Conte lashed out at his players after Tottenham gave away a 3-1 lead to settle for a 3-3 draw against Southampton at the weekend. He had also aimed a dig at the north London club, after which his future there is uncertain.
Both TuttoMercatoWeb and Calciomercato.it explain the manager has reached the ‘end credits’ at Spurs and his farewell could take place in the coming days.
Calciomercato.it add the ongoing international break provides the ‘ideal opportunity’ for Spurs chief Daniel Levy to part ways with Conte. According to TMW, Ryan Mason will replace the Italian as interim manager.
