Tottenham are reportedly in advanced talks with Antonio Conte over the manager's job after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday following a dismal run in the Premier League. Former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss Conte is understood to be the top target for the London club, who dismissed Nuno on Monday after just four months in charge. Spurs had approached Conte about succeeding the axed Jose Mourinho earlier this year but were unable to convince the Italian to take the job.

If the 52-year-old accepts Tottenham's offer, he would return to the Premier League three years after leaving their London rivals Chelsea, where he won the Premier League and the FA Cup.

It was reported Conte and his representatives met with Tottenham officials in London on Monday evening and struck a deal for an 18-month contract running until 2023.

He is expected to be officially confirmed as Tottenham's new boss on Tuesday and would take charge of his first match in the Europa Conference League at home to Vitesse Arnhem on Thursday.

Conte's first Premier League game with Tottenham would come at Everton on Sunday.
