Antonio Conte Appointed New Tottenham Manager After Nuno Espirito Santo Sacking
Antonio Conte has been announced as the new Tottenham manager.
After flying into London for talks on Monday, Spurs confirmed the deal on Tuesday afternoon with Conte signed a contract until 2023.
Tottenham have wasted little time in moving for the ex-Chelsea boss after making the decision to sack Nuno Espirito Santo just 17 matches after he took charge in North London.
Antonio Conte is delighted with his return to the Premier League as Tottenham’s new manager.
“I am extremely happy to return to coaching, and to do so at a Premier League club that has the ambition to be a protagonist again,” Conte told the club website.
“Tottenham Hotspur has state-of-the-art facilities and one of the best stadiums in the world.
“I can’t wait to start working to convey to the team and the fans the passion, mentality and determination that have always distinguished me, as a player and as a coach.
“Last summer our union did not happen because the end of my relationship with Inter was still too recent and emotionally too involved with the end of the season, so I felt that it wasn’t yet the right time to return to coaching.
“But the contagious enthusiasm and determination of Daniel Levy in wanting to entrust me with this task had already hit the mark. Now that the opportunity has returned, I have chosen to take it with great conviction.”
Tottenham club statement on appointment of Antonio Conte:
“We are delighted to announce the appointment of Antonio Conte as our Head Coach on a contract until the summer of 2023, with an option to extend.”
