Antonio Conte’s time as Tottenham manager appears to be drawing to a close. With the Italian’s contract expiring this summer, an extension seems more unlikely with every passing day.
In fact, following his side’s defeat to AC Milan over two legs, suggestions of a more immediate change have ramped up over the past week. Former manager Mauricio Pochettino heads the shortlist of possible replacements, with supporters expressing their desire to see a reunion after the full-time whistle on Wednesday.
However, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that proposition could “end in tears”, and instead gave an alternative suggestion who draws remarkable parallels to the job Pochettino did to initially earn the north London gig. The pundit has identified Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi as the man who best fits what both Daniel Levy and the Spurs fans are looking for in their head coach.
