Julian Nagelsmann looks set to be sacked as Bayern Munich head coach and that could pave the way for a dramatic move to Tottenham. The German manager is expected at Bayern's training ground this week where it is expected his contract will be terminated with immediate effect.
With former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel set to take over from Nagelsmann, one person who will be keeping tabs on the situation is Daniel Levy. The Spurs chairman faces a tough decision over the future of Antonio Conte following the Italian's outburst last weekend.
Conte, 53, lashed out at Spurs' players during Saturday's press conference following the 3-3 draw at Southampton. He called his Tottenham players "selfish" and spoke of a 20-year culture at the club that has allowed them to feel comfortable with the stress of winning silverware.

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan coach is yet to return to Hotspur Way as he spends time with his family at his Turin home, football.london understands. Levy will likely want to make a decision on Conte's future sooner rather than later, with Spurs next in action on April 3 against Everton.
Given his situation at Bayern, Nagelsmann has been tipped as one of the names to replace Conte. The German has even previously outlined his admiration of the Premier League and hinted of his desire to manage in England one day.
Interestingly, it's not the first time he has been linked with the Tottenham job. In 2021, after Jose Mourinho had been sacked, the then RB Leipzig coach was said to be one of the names Levy was considering.
Of course, Levy instead appointed Nuno Espirito Santo before sacking the Portuguese and eventually employing Conte. Levy now has an opportunity to correct his mistake from two years ago by sacking Conte and putting his faith in Nagelsmann. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.
