Former Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann is open to talks with Tottenham over replacing Antonio Conte, according to Sky Sports.
Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern despite them being only one point behind Borussia Dortmund and in the Champions League quarter-final. Ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is to replace the German and will take training on Monday, Bayern confirmed.
Spurs' head coach headache continues to rumble on into the international break amid uncertainty over Conte's future. The Italian is at a crossroads in his future in north London, with it appearing he is heading towards the exit door.

Conte guided Spurs to a top-four finish last season, pipping Arsenal to the final spot on the final day of the season. However, after last week's rant on the back of the 3-3 draw with Southampton, the 53-year-old faces further uncertainty over his future at Hotspur Way.
Nagelsmann has been touted as a possible replacement for the Italian. The German was on Daniel Levy's radar in 2019 when Mauricio Pochettino was sacked and then again in 2021 before he joined Bayern.
Now, according to Sky Sports, the 35-year-old is said to be open to talks with Spurs about becoming their next manager. However, the report does suggest he may seek a short period of reflection before returning to management.
Nagelsmann has previously gone on record to speak of his admiration of Spurs in the past. "[I've followed Tottenham closely] since Pochettino was there," he said during his RB Leipzig days. "He's a really good manager, his team was great to watch."
