Antonio Conte is set to add set piece coach Gianni Vio to his Tottenham coaching staff to help the club improve their efforts on the pitch.
Spurs have struggled with set pieces in recent times and now football.london understands that the north London club are in advanced talks with the specialist coach although a deal is not yet finalised nor his arrival imminent. Vio has worked with the Italian national team as well as having had spells at AC Milan, Leeds United, Brentford and Fiorentina.
The experienced coach and former banker is credited with making Italy a force from set pieces as they won Euro 2020 and has reportedly designed 4,830 different routines which Roberto Mancini's team were able to utilise from free-kicks and corners. Vio spent much of his time in the lower leagues in Italy before making a splash in Serie A, then England and with the Italian national side.
