Tottenham undoubtedly face a decisive summer both in the transfer market and regarding their new manager search. Antonio Conte's mid-season exit has cast a mass wave of doubt over what the immediate future will hold for Spurs but one thing is for certain and that is that chairman Daniel Levy must get his next managerial appointment right and it must be done early in the summer.
Taking too long to find a permanent Conte successor could see Spurs facing a repeat of the 2021 summer where Nuno Esprito Santo was appointed just weeks before the start of the season. The former Wolves boss was significantly far down on the short list but after several candidates rejected the job, Nuno was given the reigns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that he held for under four months.
There looks set to be significant competition in the managerial market at the end of the season with London rivals Chelsea also in search of a new head coach. Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann have been linked with both clubs while Mauricio Pochettino could make a sensational return to north London.
